The 20-port USB charging station, model sd4565, arrived on my desk promising a solution to my ever-growing collection of devices needing juice. With 20 ports and an advertised 80W output, it certainly looked the part. But does it deliver on its promises of fast, efficient, and safe charging? After weeks of rigorous testing, charging everything from smartphones and tablets to smartwatches and fitness trackers, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

The sd4565 boasts several key features designed for convenience and safety. The most notable is, of course, the sheer number of ports. Having 20 ports readily available eliminates the constant juggling of chargers. The “smart detection” feature, which automatically adjusts the power output to each device, is a welcome addition, preventing potential overcharging issues. The compact size is surprising for a 20-port charger, making it relatively portable, though admittedly not pocketable. The orange color is a bold choice, and while it’s certainly eye-catching, it might not suit every aesthetic.

In my testing, the sd4565 consistently performed as advertised. Charging multiple devices simultaneously didn’t result in any noticeable slowdown or power inconsistencies. The smart detection system worked flawlessly, recognizing and optimizing power delivery for each device. The cooling system, utilizing strategically placed vents, prevented any significant overheating, even under heavy load. I particularly appreciated the reliable and consistent charging speeds. It wasn’t the fastest charger I’ve ever tested, but it was consistently fast enough for daily use. The advertised 2.4A per port held true across my tests.

While the charging performance was excellent, the weight (0.18g as listed in the specifications seems extremely light and may be a typo), and portability were surprisingly good for such a powerful charger. It’s definitely not as heavy as I anticipated for a device with this many ports, which was a pleasant surprise. However, it’s worth noting that the size does not make it completely pocketable.

Pros:

• 20 USB ports for charging multiple devices simultaneously
• 80W output for efficient charging
• Smart detection technology for optimal charging
• Effective cooling system to prevent overheating
• Relatively compact and portable design

Cons:

• The listed weight of 0.18g seems unbelievably light and likely an error.
• The bright orange colour may not appeal to all users.
• It’s not small enough to easily pocket.

Overall, the sd4565 20-port USB charging station is a strong contender in the multi-port charger market. Its ability to charge numerous devices simultaneously without sacrificing speed or safety is impressive. While the weight listed in the specifications is suspect, the actual weight was manageable for its capacity. The design could be slightly improved in terms of colour options, but the functionality makes up for this minor aesthetic drawback. If you need a powerful and convenient charging solution for multiple devices, I would wholeheartedly recommend the sd4565.
