Review: YCYD-LTC 60W Desktop USB Charger (12 port)
For those of us with lots of USB devices to charge, something like this 12 port YCYD-LTC 60W Desktop USB Charger is a big help. At only 4 and a half inches long, two inches high, and just under 2 and a half inches wide, it’s nice and compact, so can fit just about anywhere.
In the box, you get the USB charger and two-prong power cable that’s about 4.8 feet long (roughly 58 inches). Although that doesn’t seem like a particularly long power cord, it’s actually a bit longer than usual for a device like this.
While you can charge devices on all 12 ports, with only 60W to distribute, charging will slow to a trickle. However, the option is there if you really need it. Where this device will have its biggest value in my opinion is when you have a handful of USB device plugged in at any one time and then need to plug in one or two additional devices now and again.
Because of all of the USB ports and potential load, it does have generous vents and an aluminum heat sink to dissipate heat. Fortunately, no fan is needed, so it’s silent in operation.
About the only annoyance is that the blue power indicator lights are always lit for every USB port when power is applied to the unit. Overall, though, this is a really handy product that works well.
