6Watts... You won't be charging much. In fact I bet some of the higher end smartphones might suck down more than that. |

Where did you see the 6 watts limit? It could never have a cigarette lighter plugged into it (as the ad suggests) with 6 watts. I did see 500mw max.in the specs. I could be wrong, but I think 500mw x 110v would be 55watts. |

I know they have had these at Big Lots for $3.99 in the past. They are 500mv so that is good enough to power up most chargers and charge items, but forget about powering up any major wattage devices like a raft pump or something. I have even found my 2Amp ac to DC inverter too small to handle that kind of wattage. |

60 watts would be a stretch. For a comparison of wattage, a standard USB port maxes out at 0.5 amps. At 5 volts, the voltage you get from USB, that's only 2.5 watts. Virtually all USB smartphones can charge from a USB port. For another comparison, my Sanyo Katana's wall wart charger only outputs 4.2 watts max. My Blackberry charger and Moto Q 9c charger each output 3.5 watts. So 6 watts shouldn't be a problem for charging most small devices. |
