Summary
-
Buy extra chargers for different phone models to accommodate guest needs.
-
Invest in power strips with surge protection to maximize outlet space.
-
Consider portable chargers as a plug-in charging option for guests.
If you are going with a large group of people on vacation, it is especially important to make sure you have a suitable mobile phone charging station. Having ample chargers, power strips and portable chargers, you can make sure none of your guests leave with a dead phone!
First, I added the extra charging cables for the guests. I have bought older iPhone lightning cables, USB-C cables and micro USB cables for some Android models.
I ordered some multi-packs from Amazon from brands I’ve used before. For example, this two packs of Anker USB-C chargers it’s a great option for people with iPhones and newer Android models. For only $10, it’s a great deal. Be sure to take some too Anker Power Adapters compatible with USB-C ends.
Get Power Strips and Maximize Your Outlet Space
If you live in a place with limited outlets, a power strip is a good investment. This can plug into an outlet and provide six or more spaces to insert chargers. This GE Power Strip it has six extra plugs that can maximize the number of devices you can charge at any time. Alternatively, this 18 Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip it’s great for a big gathering.
I also like to opt for a power strip with surge protection, which protects devices from damage that can occur from power surges.
Have portable chargers to free up outlet space
If you are not keen on power strips or you just don’t have many outlets available, you can opt to buy instead of more portable chargers. You can charge a portable charger before (or during) your holiday event, then offer an outlet-free way to charge your guests.
The prices of portable chargers can vary from a few dollars to more than a hundred dollars, so it’s just a matter of how much battery power you’re looking for. My family loves this Anker 20,000 mAh portable charger which holds enough power to fully charge an iPhone four times.
Portable chargers are especially nice to have if your guests want to check their phones often, but don’t want to leave their devices in a corner or in an inaccessible outlet all the time.
In addition to food, entertainment and drinks, it’s important to make sure you have enough outlets and chargers for each guest’s phone. This will ensure that none of your guests have to leave without access to Google Maps, their contacts, and more!
