Double socket plus 3.1A output USB chargers - good to charge 2 fast charge devices. Were £8.99 in my local Aldi. £12 on screwfix so I think this is a good deal.
Had silver ones too for £15.99

Good, maybe people will slow down and extend their life of their battery by not constantly charging as fast as they can.
Yes sorry in store. Pic is of my actual plug which says 3.1a

I wonder if someone in 30 years will still have USB sockets in their home and people will be like wtf are those little ports for :stuck_out_tongue:

Considering its been around for about 20 years now, and USB 3.1 uses the same standard socket interface, I think its safe to say USB will be around for a long time yet.

Just make sure it is CE marked. A lot of these cheap ones don't and won't meet minimum safety standards. Dangerous item to have unfused in your house circuits if there is a chance it could go wrong.

CE is minimum safety, really look for:
BS 1363 -plug safety (a real must for any uk home)
there is a usb power spec, can't find it on google, but similar to BS EN 62680

It will be CE marked as it's the law for all EU retailers. Obviously not the case for all online sellers.

There's also a metal one at £14.99 but it's also 2.1A.
