I found one that has four USB ports, no AC outlets at all. Unfortunately, they are now all filled and I need more. One thing, my wives smartphone won't charge off of them. It has to use its own AC to USB adapter. Everything else seems to work.
I had a similiar problem with a mult-purpose car jump starter/air compressor that also had USB ports and a cigarette lighter socket. The USB ports would not charge my iPhone 5 but a USB adapter that I put in the cigarette lighter socket did work. I discovered that iPhone needs at least a 1 amp output but the USB sockets provided only a half amp.
The good news is that there are wall plates out there with higher outputs.
