As for the 2.4A at 5V charger, the current drain from the wall outlet would be far lower than 2.4A, Using an Apple iPad charger (5.1V @2.1A) as an example, the rated AC current is .45A max so you could plug 40 of them into your 20A outlet and use, at most, 18A. My only 5V, 2.4A charger only shows less than 0.5A as the input current so you could get away with at least 36 of them while staying 2 Amperes below your breaker rating. OTOH, I wouldn't recommend that charger since it's micro USB plug has connection issues with almost every device I've tried it with. Holding a connector to maintain a connection is not among my favourite activities.  |
Please tell me you heard everything I thought about your kitchen.
How many outlets?
Thanks for the info on the chargers.
