A Multi-Outlet Power strip with USB has the ability to provide you with numerous ports in one place along with an extension for USB as well. It will have you charge your devices all at once. 

Smart Electric Power Strips

Smart Electric Power Strips are the new and advanced power strips that have two basic components: outlets and circuitry monitors that control the outlets. The circuitry reduces the power requirement for the devices that have gone on sleep. And at the same time, the remaining outlets remain functional. 

Some of the smart power strips have two outlets that are always on and they can be reserved for the alarm systems and devices that need constant power. 

Impact of Power Strips on Electricity

Since you will be charging various devices with one power strip, it will have a major impact on your electricity and the bills that come along. However, rather than using the regular power strip, if you use the smart power strip, it can help you save a lot of energy. 

However, one important thing that everyone should keep in mind is the type of power strip you buy. Be it smart or not. The type of devices that we use have different requirements; some more than the others and this can create voltage issues too. One should always check the voltage capacity of a power strip before plugging in too many devices into it.
