The new version of the Anker 40w 5 port USB charger in black is now £14.99. Back down to the cheapest price yet on Amazon. Brilliant bit of kit, now with quick charging compatibility.

With regards to the alternative product that rysio101 has linked to (Aukey Quick Charge) Amazon Review of 3 Jan is worrying;
I had my charger for a few months. Not super fast at charging, but provides 3 USB ports from 1 plug so mildly satisfied. The charger was plugged into the wall next to where i rest my head in bed. Until it exploded. I'm not sure how it happened, as nothing was plugged into it at the time, but it self destructed with a bang, throwing its casing off, exposing its internal wiring and circuitboards and emitting an acrid smoke into the bedroom. This woke me up, and has caused me to start my day with a case of the mild jitters, and also concern that others may suffer a worse failure. The charger lived in a bedroom that I, my wife and my newborn share. I am glad they were already up when it happened, it could have been far worse had the charger been living in the socket above our babies cot. The explosion also tripped off the power in the house, so had we been out, or on holiday, we would have come home to all kinds of fridge/freezer related disasters.

Thanks for posting, it's a fantastic quality multi-charger.
However, I'm not sure what's new about it as it says in the description...

I thought it had but camelcamelcamel history would suggest it hadn't. I just had an alert set up for when it dropped below £15 and got the email this morning.
