Baseus PowerCombo 6-in-1 Charging Station
As mentioned above, the PowerCombo station offers six ways to power a range of devices. With a maximum load is 1625W, it’s a hybrid charger, power strip and charging cable in one that can help keep your desktop tidy, Baseus said.
“What sets it apart is that a handy 2.6ft retractable USB C cable is built-in,” the company said. “That [makes] charging any USB-C devices a breeze by simply reaching the cable and pulling it to the appropriate length to keep your desk free of clutter and to save the effort of looking around for a charging cable. The idea behind this product is to streamline your production space.”
App control
Baseus also touted its iOS app as a way the product stands out from traditional power strips. You can turn it off with a tap or use a shutdown timer to shut it down automatically whenever you want.
In addition, the app shows power-consumption records so you can see how much power your devices are using.
