Hi Peter.
I’ve used such charging solutions myself as I have a plethora of USB devices
that need charging, in short the answer is no because the device and the
charger have a charging circuit, these handshake when a connection is
established so that the correct voltage and ampage can be supplied to the
device that needs charging. I would strongly recommend buying your charger
from a reputable supplier though, I blatantly recommend Anker for this purpose
as they supply a great range of USB chargers and multi device charging hubs for
this purpose. If I can help in any way, I would be happy to scout out the best
solution for your charging needs.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Overcharging
I notice that it is possible to buy multi-socket charging units i.e., units
that you can plug into a 13 amp socket and then charge various devices using
a USB lead. Some are described as having smart technology whereby the ampage
is adjusted as necessary.
My question is can you overcharge things like mobiles and earphones? I have
tried asking the supplier of one of these and his reply was rather evasive.
Thanks for any help.
Peter
