Actually, it's not accelerated charging.It's just a 1.8A output instead of a 1A. So it charges a Kindle faster than a 1A charger.

That charger is faster than this charger but it's not accelerated charging. That's just words to make you think it's something special.

You could buy an [urlhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Charger-PowerIQ-Technology-Motorola-Black/dp/B016LPMFUA]Anker USB charger with 2 ports[/url] and up to 2.4a output and it would charge a Kindle every bit as fast as the overpriced Amazon "accelerated" charger.

It's just advertising words to confuse you into buying it for more than you need to spend. And yes, it is false advertising.
