As a person who carries multiple digital devices when going out every day, how to elegantly quickly recharge the equipment at hand has always been a problem. The traditional approach, that is, preparing an official charger for each device, is the most efficient solution, but it often makes the charging head occupy a large piece of desktop space in the office, and it will be more non-cumbersome when traveling. Combined with the actual comprehensive consideration, I generally carry one or two charging heads with proprietary fast charging protocols, and other devices try to solve them through USB cables.
So since more than eight years ago, I have been looking for the right multi-port charger. From the 6-port 60W (ordinary version and QC version 2.0) and 10-port 60W multi-port charger of home A at the beginning, to the 65W 2C1A (2 USB-C ports, 1 USB-A port, the same below) multi-port charger of E in the GaN era, 65W 1C1A multi-port charger of N family, Rubik's Cube socket and 100W 3C1A multi-port charger of G house, 150W 3C1A multi-port charger +65W 2C1A2AC socket of family A, 90W 2C1A and 67W of S house 3C multi-port charger, there are so many multi-port charging heads/table chargers purchased over the years, including many repeated comparisons and finally not selected, as well as many mobile phone manufacturers come with 2C or 1C1A charging heads, and even bought Hongyan, Schneider (APC) and other drag boards with USB ports.
But it wasn't until A's 65W (two more AC five-pin jacks than the ordinary 2C1A multi-port charger) socket that I could barely find a product that basically met my needs in terms of functionality, design, and portability, while at the same time giving me peace of mind with quality. But the reason why it is "reluctant" is because the USB port power of that product is only 65W, once you need to power the notebook, the remaining 2 USB ports are basically only 1 can be used for mobile phones. At this time, if there is a lack of chargers corresponding to the fast charging solution of the mobile phone at hand, the whole process will still be a little painful; The other is that 5 devices are still a little less, so generally travel with a 3-port charger.
So when I saw in July that the sugar factory said that it would release a 120W charging station (that is, the protagonist of this article, Hard Candy Small Spelling), I didn't hesitate to place an order. However, due to the late shipment of the back shell, I didn't have time to try it until the beginning of this month. After using it for more than half a month, this product has several points that make me very satisfied:
The first is sufficient charging bits. In the flattened state, the hard candy small battery charging part has 3 USB-C ports on the front, 1 USB-A port for a total of 4 charging positions, there is also a USB-C port on the side, and the desktop dock on the back has two 5-hole AC ports, that is, at least 7 devices can be plugged in in total, which can fully meet the needs of daily business trips.
These USB ports in the accompanying charging part support a total of 120W, support PD / PPS / QC2.0 / QC3.0 / Apple 2.4 / BC1.2 full protocol fast charging, compatible with all mainstream devices on the market. And because a single interface can reach up to 100W, even the MacBook Pro is not a problem.
Secondly, if an ordinary charging station is plugged into a mobile phone tablet when charging screens, speakers, watches and other devices, the existing charging equipment will be immediately disconnected and restarted. The hard candy small power spelling can be arbitrarily plugged into the devices in the 5 USB ports, and will not affect other devices.
Again, as the name suggests, "Small Electricity" adopts a design that can be put together and detachable.
On the one hand, when the two parts are combined, mobile phones, watches and other USB devices that often need to be plugged are connected to the accompanying charging part, and mobile hard disks, speakers and other infrequently unplugged devices are connected to the desktop dock part, so that the extension of the wire is more orderly and the desktop looks more neat.
On the other hand, the on-the-go charging feet can be folded, so they can easily fit into backpacks or even pockets, and whether you are away for coffee or business, you can quickly recharge power through the power outlet. It is worth mentioning that this part also adopts a vertical mechanical design, so that the center of gravity of the accompanying charge can be close to the wall, and it is not easy to fall from the wall even if multiple devices are connected.
Since then, Xiaodian has two accessories: "frog rack" and "back shell". Among them, the former adopts a floating design, which can be more convenient to geographically smooth the desktop cable; The latter, which is the accessory I chose when I bought it, allows the small electric spelling to be "invisible" at the bottom of the table or on the side or even under the sofa, which is very suitable for users with limited desktop space.
Finally, there is design. In the early days, because there were fewer options for multi-port charging heads or table chargers, I could only turn a blind eye to the appearance, but as this type of product became more and more abundant, I would also consider its appearance design when purchasing (which is why there are several products that were not mentioned earlier). Xiaodian Pinning adopts the design style of rectangular rounded corners this time, and the appearance is atmospheric and simple; With limited edition stickers, even users like me who chose the wrong color in the first place can make it a trendy product.
Coincidentally, just when I thought this product was very useful and was about to add one to my home, the sugar factory sent a whole set of "gift bags". Therefore, I was able to take a closer look at the instructions for using this product. I found that this small electric spelling is also very good in some details.
One is that in addition to the two AC interfaces, there is also a grounding protection lamp and a surge protection lamp, which is actually very important for people who often need to go out and use.
One is that the indicator light of the accompanying charging part will give different hints according to different charging power: green light is power-only state, 1 green and 2 white are ordinary charging state, 1 green and 4 white are high power output state, and 1 green and 6 white are high power output state.
In addition, in addition to the magnetic connection between the accompanying charge and the desktop dock, the frog rack and the small electric dock are actually magnetic connections, which is really full of ritual!
Overall, this hard candy small electric spelling adopts a detachable and assembling design, which can be said to be unique in the current multi-port charger and table function; With a wealth of accessories, it can not only meet the daily office needs, but also minimize the burden of travel; Coupled with its excellent industrial design and included DIY stickers, it is highly recommended for users like me who need to travel with multiple digital devices.
