These days we all have so many things that we travel with that require charging. From laptops to tablets and phones to watches, they all need to be plugged in at some point. Whether you need a travel power strip because you need more outlets than are available, or you want the protection from power surges — a good power strip has become essential. We have gathered up some of the best travel power stips for you that will help you in most situations.
Charging all around
This power strip from POWERADD checks all the boxes for charging all your devices on the go. A small footprint, five AC outlets, two smart fast-charging USB A ports, one USB C port, and a retractable extension cord. Packed into the fire-resistant shell has over-current protection, over-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, and 900J of surge protection.
Charge all the things
Whether you are taking a cruise, a trip for the weekend, or just working from the local coffee shop, the Anker PowerStrip Pad will handle your charging needs. You'll get two full-sized AC outlets, two PowerIQ smart charging 12W USB A ports, as well as a USB C PD port. While you won't have full surge protection (cruise ships don't allow this) but you will have overload protection included.
No cord needed
Belkin is a name that is well known when it comes to accessories, and for a good reason — they make great products. So it's no surprise that this six AC outlet and two USB A port makes this list. Excellent construction and robust internals give you the power you need and the protection you expect. Feel comfort knowing your devices have the 900J surge protection with the indicator light.
Have ports will travel
With its two universal AC outlets and input voltage from 100V to 240V, the K-Century travel power strip is the ultimate travel charging companion. With the protection you'd expect from your power strip, you also get four USB A ports for charging. You also get well thought out cord storage management for the 5-foot extension cord.
Triple threat
JSVER has a travel charger that takes care of business. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles, but you have three-AC outlets and three USB A ports that come with smart charging technology. While the charger doesn't come with any cord management, but you do get the charge protection and surge protection up to 350J.
Compact protection
Another fantastic travel charger from Belkin with all the same excellent protection, only a more compact. You still get two USB A charging ports, but you get three instead of six AC outlets. There is 918J of surge protection with the same indicator light, so you know you are protected. The nice bonus with this charger is that it has a 360-degree rotating plug to help it work in almost any situation.
