1.2 AMP USB Charging Ports, ..Not 2.4amp!!
Just purchased 2 of these APC-6 Outlet Surge Arrester with (2), 2.4amp usb chargers. When I plugged in my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with fast charging technology, to my Surprise neither of my phones would fast charge. The phone's Fast Charging option shuts off when I plug it into the "Supposedly" 2.4amp usb charge port. My phones came with a Adaptive fast charger (2.0amp) and when I used this on 1 of my Note 4 phones and used the APC usb port on my 2 Note 4 phone,....The results were shocking. The APC 2.4amp usb port charged at a Much Slower Speed than using my Adaptive Fast Charger. This caused me to be very concerned. I contacted APC (Schneider Electric) and gave them the model #. The technician informed me that the 2 ports are ACTUALLY 2.4amp "COMBINED". I informed her that the website Claims the opposite of what she is telling me. She said that if I read the Information sheet that comes inside the box, it will state that the Usb ports are 2.4amp combined. I called Amazon and have informed them of the situation. Amazon acted quickly to pull their "Ships and Sold by Amazon" from this particular Model. False Advertising by the Manufacturer again. 3 times I read on this model that it has (2) 2.4amp usb ports. Unfortunately it is actually (2) 1.2 amp usb charging ports. APC is a Good brand, but I am very disappointed to learn they also falsely advertise like So Many other companies. If you don't mind Slow Charging your Smart phones or Laptops, Well this will be a good Surge Arrester and product for you. But I Specifically was wanting a True Fast Charging duel Usb ports for my phones and laptop.
