Power Requirements

If your devices use 95 watt AC Adapters or higher, you may need to reduce the total number of devices to avoid overloading your circuit breaker.

Power Adapter Wattage Considerations:

NOTE: If wattage exceeds 15 Amps or about 1500 Watts at one time, the charging system may not operate correctly. Review your device's AC Adapter wattage, multiplying it by 16.

• 45 Watts x 16 Devices = 820 Watts
• 85 Watts x 16 Devices = 1360 Watts
• 95 Watts x 16 Devices = 1520 Watts
