How many amps do you get through the built in micro USB cable?
1380483
The built-in microUSB cable is reported to produce 1A output while the USB connection is capable of up to 2A. See: http://www.easyacc.com/power-bank/p98-easyacc-ichoc-m5-5000mah-dual-ports-power-bank.html (scroll down to "Technical Details" near the bottom). I haven't taken a multimeter to the leads to test these claims, but they seem pretty reasonable.

I'm actually using a spare one for that function now. HOWEVER, it will only charge items at the USB limit of 500mA per port. Most true chargers are capable of 700mA to 1000mA depending on the device.

Not sure about amps, but I have found that it will charge my iPhone, but not my iPad. Also, will run two 2.5" external drives (not ssd, which should run on less power) with no problem. Another user claims 7 external drives. I have a WD Scorpio Black drive and a Seagate FreeAgentGo drive attached and running flawlessly while the Satechi is plugged in.

idk the difference between microusb an mini usb but i can try an add a few pics to help better answer your question just give me a couple hours

pc usb ports typically put out 0.5amps. these power packs can do 1A and 2A, it probably can.

since usb works off of dc current a longer cable will cause it to charge slower

2.1 amps shared; it can produce the full 2.1 amps only if 1 port is being used. 1 amp per USB port can be used if both ports are in use.

It is a standard 5.0V micro USB connection, and the provided adapter is rated at 1.0 amp.

I use this purely as a charger not as a USB hub. The key is being BC 1.1 compliant. I charge an iPad and iPad mini at the same time. It can pump 2.5 amps max across all ports. It will charge all 4 devices at normal USB rates but if you only hook up 2 devices they should both charge twice as fast! (1000 mA rate)

Any USB adapter like this one: http://tinyurl.com/cmgu5td1+ Ampere is better.

There's not enough power (amps) through USB, it needs to be a self powered drive but yes it can hook up to the USB.Also must be formatted in FAT32.

The USB-2 hub itself provides 0.5 amps at 5V. The external power supply (included) provides 2.0 amps at 5V. So, the 2.5 amps total, is divided into 7 ports or total of 2.5 amps for power draw (like 1 amp for Port-1 plug-in and 1.5 amps for a Port-2 plug in). Usually USB devices draw less than 0.5 amps (except external HDD or external DVD+RW).

Look up the "AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to Mini-B Cable - 6 Feet" and any USB wall charger that gives adequate current (there are many now that are &gt; 1 amp at 5v)

Nothing on the USB port to indicate ampage. I use for garmin golf watch. Works great and has indicator light on plug to show when charging

Do you mean the voltage output? If so, it outputs USB voltage (5 V DC at a max of 2 amps).

The unit requires a Micro-B connection. I base this on looking at my unit and cable, and comparing to a Google search of images for "usb micro a vs b".

I just used another micro usb cable that I had lying around. So many devices use the same cable now that I had several extras.
