Travel charger for multiple devices—anyone have a recommendation?

What I have is a Lucent charger with four regular USB ports, which might not match the cables you currently have. It comes with a few adapter plugs for different countries. I take only the plug(s) I need on each trip, and the device is fairly lightweight.

Like you, I don't like to think about having my charging device die in the middle of a trip--though these days it would be easy to buy a replacement in most places, and I have an external battery that would normally have some juice left in it at the end of the day. As insurance I also carry the fast charger (with detachable short cable) that came with my most recent smartphone. That's helpful in any case when I need to charge smartphone, tablet and external battery at the same time.

I've used the charger for multiple long trips to Europe adding up to over 15 months, and it still works fine. I use a different (heavier) charger at home in hopes of keeping the Lucent charger working a long time. I wouldn't want to have to travel again with the heavy charger; there's a really noticeable difference in the weight.

This looks like my Lucent charger; I don't know whether it is the same model: https://www.amazon.com/Multiple-Charger-LENCENT-Worldwide-International/dp/B077VFGNYZ/ref=sr11sspa?crid=C595FZ8A2Y8W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XTcjPYZ8SBjxnQOLijcAaArKWFm5Hkp0j70ydHLR3smePNwTIQWNzqJpMQzqJvNVSNEU4oluWYyyUe3tq2fDfs9Fg3jr8ohod1ne16Xlx2S7eLf7u1xZnF3NkmWPzUJ9YUmdehE8sqBlPaCFHFfIFbamFcegguJakLIXNq1M48JABTUA1nLkmvytHh9bIjqp-xkGHfJCH3EvxjXcEoN1FOTJGyltIfVzsf8fD52RxI.IU6I2U--qZwpXr3HQVpBt9AxWMcOgrRXVQetVtBumfo&dibtag=se&keywords=lencent%2Bmultiple%2Busb%2Bwall%2Bcharger&qid=1715041937&sprefix=lencent%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-1-spons&spcsd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

I’ve been using this multicharger at home and for travel:

It’s convenient and has worked well.

I like to use a single extension cord, plugged in to the wall with the appropriate adaptor, so that the plugs and my devices can sit on top of a desk or bedside table:

I've used this one for about 4 years, in both the US and various countries in Europe:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XFZPQSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

It has 4 USB plugs and 2 multi-country outlets.

We have had good luck with the Tessan brand.

I take the same extension cord as CWsocial. It’s handy when the socket is behind the night stand. Since I bought it before I needed USB C ports, i plug in a C port charger.

I bought two of these UK adaptors with ports and outlets before my recent 5 1/2 trip to England, and absolutely love them. I’m going to buy two more additional ones the next time I go to Europe and need a European plug. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C27DSWHB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Each adapter has 3 regular outlets for plugs, as well as two USB-C ports and one USB port. These were all I needed and they worked very well.

Thanks for the responses! Much appreciated.

I have a multi port charger like those mentioned above. Mine is an Anker brand. I’ve been using it for years with no issues. USB C seems to be the standard for the foreseeable future some I’m transitioning over to that. Unless you intend to charge your devices one after another I’m not clear on how they would help to minimize the number of cords you would need to carry.

I am looking for a cord that has 3-4 “sprouts” that charges multiple devices, such as what Carole provided, below. ( Several on Amazon had reviews that weren’t encouraging).

This would reduce the cords, which is my main goal.

As written in product description: to operate this cable (it is not a device) a source / device providing 5 V/3,0 A is necessary, otherwise you will end up with endless loading times. The information you will find as output printed on every power-delivering device.

So, you will still need soething like a "European Travel Plug Adapter" (take care that plug fits to network of destination countries) - and the 5 V/3,0 A is necessary, 2 A output is not sufficient for this kind of cable.

btw: you can always cut everything behind the "?" in a link before posting.
In your example this is enough:

Anything can stop working.

I had the same extension cord/charger as CWSocial and Horsewoofie. Two of the USB ports died within a couple of months.

I've also had cables die on me.

I now travel with my main multi-charger and a small back up one.

I also take four cables with me. If one should die, or I feel the need to replace one, they are easy to find just about anywhere in Europe.
