Can someone please comment on my post on the previous page. Thanks.

Questioned Item:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORICO-DCP-48W-7-Port-Universal-USB-Charging-Station-Hub-with-7-x-2-4A-Charger-/191295371185?hash=item2c8a17b7b1:g:Mt8AAOSwqu9VMOm7

I don't see any USB 2.0 or 3.0 uplink port.  There is only the four pin round connector, which I'm thinking is for power!  This may have the word hub in it, but its not a hub, its only a charging station.  Has power, but doesn't connect to computers.

I'd wager a tuppence anyway.

And even with a Y cable to a conventional hub, as was proposed, my concern would be the actual voltage the charger would produce when presented with the Stick load as opposed to a battery?
