I ordered one of these a few days ago:

And now I'm search USB power plugs. One for use at home (240V) and one for use in car (12V). There are a lot of cheap ones out there but I've read and seen the worst things happen with those..
So.. any input? :)
Hi, you can find cheap ones, but I can recomend you this one;
This is why I choice this one;
What about this one;
This one claim to be 2100mha output, I dont know if it to much to the charger, maybe that is not a problem
For people in Europe it’s nice, if the charger has an EU plug (I don’t like the cheap US-> EU adpters).
If one USB port is enought: I bought 2 of thie one a year ago and it worked fine - the second isn’t used until now (I know the reviews of the bad batch, but take a look at the newest reviews - it seemed to be a good batch):
1 USB, EU plug, $2,39

Would you need only one USB port or is more better?
4 USB, price $9,50, EU plug

I got a couple of one amp “HTC model B250” one amp wall chargers (13A UK) off Ebay and they are great for under £4 each including postage … I got one white and one black … I also have a Sony-Erisson but it is only 850mA … I use these with my home made cheap CC/CV Li-Ion single battery chargers … I charge my 18650’s at one amp , so I need the one amp USB power plugs … The Sony one limits the charging current to 850mA.
I am going to have a re-think about my four home-made single-bay chargers as they won’t accept the four new 18700 batteries that I’ve just bought … Too tight but OK for the unprotected Ultrafires and some shorter protected 18650’s … No problem with fitting the 18700’s in my Solarforce torches though.

USB twin sockets.

I am waiting for two of these and will mount them back to back with a wooden spacer … This will give me four USB power sockets.
Power supply unit 5 volt 4 amp.

This is a five volt four amp power supply unit which will feed the four USB power sockets … There are higher wattage units available if needed.
Cooling Fan for my Soshine charger.

This is what I used to cool my Soshine battery charger … You need to stand the fan unit on two pieces of 2” square timber (about 4” long) , to lift it off the desk , so that there is a better flow of air into the fan … The charger stands easily on top of the fan unit … It works well.
