The charger can (the indication) identify which load strength the connected device can be charged, resulting in an optimized charge. Apparently, it works quite well, my devices such as the iPad will be loaded quite fast. One way that you measure the current flow I do not unfortunately.
The charger is very compact and fits nicely in a hand. I have the part attached by double-sided tape on the side of the desk, so I can leave the connected cables dangling at the side and only then get to the fore when I need them. So is not the whole desk full of cables and everything is fine cleaned.
For putting down the charger is not suitable because it tips over immediately when multiple cables are connected.
As the unit a) loads quickly b) is very compact and c) has a reasonable price, there is of me 5 stars
