Voltage converters are only needed if the thing you’re plugging into the power strip requires only 110v (examples are curling irons and hair-dryers you travel with). Most electric things that people travel with already have a converter in them. It’s easy to tell if you need a converter or not. Look on the back of the device you’re plugging in. If it says “Input 110-240 Volts” then you do not need a voltage converter.
To sum up, you do not need a voltage converter, unless you are plugging something in that can only use 110v. You WILL need an adapter (depending on the country to which you’re traveling), but NOT a converter.

The device is rated at 1250w. That infers whole device, so if you're charging USB devices at 100w, you should limit a/c devices to 1150w. The a/c outlets are pass-through, so won't shutdown due to overcurrent unless you blow it up.
This is a conservative number. The cord is beefy, and the website claims the a/c out…

This is a conservative number. The cord is beefy, and the website claims the a/c outlets have a 1875w max.
So 1250 vs 1875 watts? Keep it to 1250 and don't use microwaves or space heaters with an extension cord.

Don't think there is such thing as super fast 2.0
Super fast is either 3.0 or USB c.
This will charge super fast based on your item. Use a good USB c cord. I use a 100w, but doesn't mean my phone is charging at 100w. Hope that helps
No. It has this fancy new cord. There might be a longer cord you can buy from anker, but its not a standard thing. However, you can use an heavy duty extension cord with the 3 prong if you need more length. Much cheaper option. I used it and it worked.
Totally agree. I’d like one of those too and yet, if you think about it, 200W has to have twice the heat cooling that 100W does, and so you’re not going to get that in the same form factor. I got this because I need 100W, and it’s a lot bigger than 65W adapters or 30W adapters for pretty much the same reasons.

Also, I got this one because I had a smaller 100W adapter that had a recall because of overheating.
The laws of physics often get in the way of what we want.
