La mobile device charging that swarm around our house can be somewhat problematic. The swarms of cables, the loans between family members that end up in anger, etc ... And the fact is that as the use we make of our mobiles and tablets increases, more often we have to charge our devices. Today we want to talk to you about two Kickstarter initiatives that seek an original solution to these problems.
Octofire 8 by Skiva
It is a point of USB fast charging with 8 outputs. It has an octagonal shape and on each side we can place a small charging cable that adapts to our phone or tablet.
It has a device detection system that will adjust the type of load to be done with different powers and without the danger of burning the equipment. Promises a load of 2.100 mAh per hour, which would be almost 80% of many phones and half the battery of many small tablets.
Its design is not the most aesthetic and requires that we have small cables for each device, especially if we have an iPhone or iPad where we will need an adapter to the proprietary connector or to Lightning to be able to use it. With computers that use universal USB it is much easier.

This solution is much more aesthetic than the previous one. It's about a podium for many devices that allows us to connect them in different positions but always remaining standing. It has a fast-charging switchboard that can provide up to 2.400 mAh per hour. This is really fast.
Again, we need the cables for each device, these will be hidden under the body of this accessory. Through a slot each male of the connector will come out and be available. That is, we need the appropriate cable for each device, although with those who use the standard micro USB we can share without problem.
It will be sold in two options for four and six devices. Its finishes also vary with 3 options: white, black and wood, the latter being more expensive.
