If I charge 5 devices together, will it get pretty hot? I mean really hot, not warm. Thank you

Nope. I usually put one four to five devices together, just the normal temp, no overheat. I have been using the charger for about two months, no issues.

If you use an adapter it will charge the newer devices. You need one adapter per device.

1.) I didn't try syncing multiple devices simultaneously but it will sync to multiple devices. 2.) It is a standard mini USB 2 connection. 3.) It does work while charging.

I am using it to charge 2 iPhone six phones at the same time with no issues. I have also used it to charge my iPad mini without issue.

Seems like all of these 'iDevice' compatible chargers get a little warm, almost hot to the touch. Guess it's the current required to recharge and even boot up the iDevices, since this one has a 2.1amp output usb port. But never had any problems, and I've bought dozens of these.

i am sorry. i meant if you use all ports the time to charge will "increase". it will require more time to charge. the charging is slow.

Not at all...mine is still working away - almost 24/7 with at least one to three plugged in. It doesn't even get hot. Good luck finding out what's wrong.

Sorry, I cannot really help. I have no devices like iPads that take more current to charge. Mine is used to charge 2 iPod Touches and two vanilla (old, not smart) phones. I also use it to charge a Kindle and occasionally another device or two. None of them high power. For my purposes, it works great.

I have been able to charge two android devices simultaneously. If course, the rate of charge decreases with two devices.

It does get warm but not enough to cause any concern. Both the charger and the phone were in an open area on a table during charging. Remember this is a 13000mAH unit not 3000mAh unit.

Mine does not. I use it frequently with various devices and it has never got hot. Even when I have left something charging overnight.

Yes, it does get hot, or at least warm, but that seams more of a battery issue. My battery gets warm either way I charge it. Wirelessly or by cord depending on how fast it charges or discharge.

The only time it got hot on me was when I was playing a game on my phone while it was charging (yeah I know - not the smartest thing to do!). The charger does not get hot during normal charging when the phone is not in use. However I would send a note to Anker and ask them about ventilation. Any battery or energy device generally needs some type of ventilation during use. Even Kindle says that if you have the reader in a protective cover, leave the cover open for ventilation during charging.

I'm using it in air conditioned car so I didn't have a chance to test it under such conditions, anyway, I didn't notice any overheating problem when charging two devices.

Justb wire hot to hot and ground to ground and it'll work fine. That's how I set mine up. I did not wire the charge lines together, afraid of poor connections and possible chargedr damage. Have to charge them independently.

Should work just fine... plus you can charge your usb devices at the same time.

Yes, I regularly charge two devices simultaneously. Great little device, turns two wall plugs into three, plus the two USB ports as well, all active at the same time.
