I have run into some that say 2 ports and 2.1 amps and it turned out to be
1 a 2.1 amp port plus
2. a 1.1 amp port

or basically 5 volts times (2.1 + 1.1 ) amps = 16 watts.

A 2 port charger at 2.4 amp capability each port will be rated at least 24 watts.
Yes, that's a problem we noticed too, when we wanted to buy a charger with 3ports. Plenty of those around, but only one will give 2.1 or 2.4A

CHARGER at Amazon

Note that THE ABOVE doesn't give enough info to tell us the total capability.
It seems to say above it has a total of 4.8 AMP total. In the comments below the ad it mentions 10 Amp total which is good. i.e. 4 x 2.4=9.6 Amps. (or 48 Watts)
Yet, the title says it's only 24W...
