What do people think is the best multiple-port charger for the Galaxy S4? I'm looking for something (along the lines of the Poweradd 5 or 6 port chargers, or Anker's 5-port charger) that will charge multiple devices at once and also charge the Galaxy S4 as quickly as possible. I know that the GS 4 charges at different rates with different chargers (as detailed here) and I see, for instance, that the Poweradd chargers only send 1 Amp to the Galaxy S4, which makes me wonder if there are similar options around that would charge the GS4 faster.

Thanks!
Alan

I'm using an Antec 4 port. It has 2 2amp & 2 1amp ports. Got a charge-only cable also & Galaxy current app shows 1.9 amps going to the phone even without fast - charge enabled.

Wow, that's great! Thanks! And should any of these devices work similarly if I use a charge-only cable and connect the phone to a 2 or 2.1 amp port? Or is that speed something that would be particular to the Antec?

Yes, the charge-only cable should work with any device USB charging port. Any 2 or 2.1 amp port.

+1 for the Anker charger got mine the same day with Amazon prime. It has made the underside of my bedside table a lot less cluttered.
