I'm happy I invested in a USB charging station.  It's quite worth it and cost me about $30 for the Hometall charging station from Amazon.  You don't realize how convenient it is to have a single location with all just the right length of cable needed to charge almost any device.  With over a half dozen devices and an Apple Watch, the Hometall 5-port USB charging station is perfect for me. How to Calculate Watts (Volts x Amps) I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the Hometall supports Qualcomm QC Quick Charge 3.0 as that requires an output of at least 18 watts.  To calculate wattage you take the number of volts multiplied by the amount of amperage.  The label on the bottom of the charging station indicates an output of 5 volts and 2.4 amps so that would equate to 12 watts (5 x 2.4 = 12).  There is another indication of a max of 50 watts, but I think that indicates how much power can be used to charge multiple devices simultaneously, so my hunch it'll
