This was a great idea but....
This was a great idea but....
It’s not rated for over seas 240v :(
I have several Anker PowerPort Strips. Love them and I even take them in my luggage bag when traveling over seas and use it with an appropriate adapter to charge my iPhone and usb devices. Then I have other AC plugs available to use things like steamer, camera charger, laptop etc. as long as those are rated for 240v as well.
This new PowerPort Cube is NOT rated 120/240. Bummer!
I’m not sure why they missed this important feature as this PowerPort Cube is smaller and more travel friendly than the PowerPort Strip.
It would have been perfect if it also did 240v
Update - I have contacted Anker and their quality engineer said that there have verified that the PowerPort Cube can work with input voltage 90V - 264V. For travel use, PowerPort Cube is designed to be compatible with all standard wall outlet voltages worldwide. (See photo).
About the input--125V/10A located on the product and specification, it is the standard design for the US. In addition, according to the new changes in FCC(Federal Communications Commission) certification requirements, we are not allowed to print "90V - 264V" on the product itself. That's why it's different from the previous power strips. However, the function works the same.
So... yes it can be used overseas as long as you have the appropriate plug adapter for the plug end of the PowerPort cube. Just remember if you use it this way, don’t forget that if you plug anything into the cube in this fashion, the device you plug in would need to be capable of 240 V also. This is not a converter. The USB outputs will work fine.
Anker and their customer service is awesome!
