Hi all. I know the iPads only draw about 10watts but I am having a hard time finding some kind of power strip that will charge 10 iPads at once.

I could just plug all 10 iPads into plain old power strips plugged into a few outlets but that would be a bit cumbersome. I was looking at items like Anker's 10-port charger: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YRYS4T4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ&psc=1 but that only powers 60watts worth of power or at best 6 iPads. It's also expensive at $40. I would need 2 or more of these to power all 10 iPads.

Ditto are the problems for similar devices...expensive and I would need more than 1.

Does anyone have a recommendation for charging 10 iPads at the same time? If my best choice is to pick up a 2-pack of power/surge strips for $11, I will do that ( https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...sr=1-3-acs&keywords=power+strip+amazon+basics ) Or I can get a higher joule rating 12-outlet strip for $19: https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-BE112...s=surge+protector&refinements=p_85:2470955011

Thanks in advance!
