No idea. We have multiple phones and tablets that all take similar chargers, and have had lots of prior phones and tablets.

I have two in the car (one for my phone dock, and one for the wife's phone), two on my desk (phone and tablet), one in the bedroom (phone), and one next to my recliner in the living room (whatever I need to plug in).

Wife has two wall chargers (phone / tablet) at the kitchen table where her laptop is, and a spare next to her recliner for charging either device there.

There's another on the kitchen counter (used for the tablet that lives there, but also available for other devices).

When I still worked in a remote office (and only had one phone) I had 3: home, office, and car. Some days I'd be in the office all day, and other days I'd be in the car all day.

On top of that, there are various chargers in a tub for older devices.

We have 7 working chargers for 5 phones, plus a couple broken ones. I have a few for my older Blackberrys too. Want to buy one?

I have 102,450,275 chargers. There, did your head explode?

Why are you worried about how many somebody else needs? And who are you to decide?

In all seriousness, I have a lot of chargers. I have one in my bedroom, so my phone can stay charging while I cruise around in bed. I have a charging station in an office, because my husband works weird hours and I don't always want to disturb him if my phone needs charging. I have one at work. I have one in my car, because I drive long distances and want a charged phone even after listening to a book in the car. I have one in my travel bag so I don't get to the hotel and have to either go back out to the car and get that one, or remember the one from home.

I've found myself forgetting a charger, or needing one where I am but it being somewhere that's inconvenient to get to, so I keep one always handy.

I only have one charger, but that's because I have a Mophie case that charges the battery without having to plug the phone in.

But it makes sense to have three chargers. One for home, one for work, and a spare either for the car or if you lose one at home or at work.

Is there anyone on here who has three chargers?
Can't believe you ask such silly questions. I have FIVE chargers. 1-home 2-car. 3-work 4-BF's car 5 - stays in my travel bag.

So there.

I picked up a bunch of chargers for my iPhone. They were $5 apiece or so on Amazon.

(1) Living Room (cable+plug)
(2) Bedroom (cable+plus)
(3) Car (cable only - I don't use the plug, since my car stereo has a USB port)
(4) Laptop case (cable+plug)
(5) Work (cable+plug)

I also have a few spares just in case I lose one.

It's a work phone. I sometimes get on long calls that require a headset and continuous charging, since the phone won't last through a long work issue.

Two at home. My wife and I both have iPhones. One in each car-that makes four. One in the campervan and we both have one at work. That makes seven.

When we travel or camp, I carry two external batteries.

Do I win a prize?

I have one for the car, and three or four around the house - all from old phones. Why should I throw them away? They make great spares, good for traveling, etc.

no including the computers we sometimes plug into, we probably have 5 or 6 chargers around the house, plus two chargers in each car, with connecting cords for iphone 6, tradional iOS and micro USB for the Android phones and other accessories.

I have no idea how we accumulated so many

Tell me, how many spoons do you have? Surely it's only one. I'd be shocked and dismayed if you had more than one spoon and need an explanation of why, and also need to conduct a national survey to see how many other people also have an excessive amount of spoons.

Yes it's shocking because one charger should be able to take care of charging in the car and at the job. And then the other charger would be for when you are home which would be a total of two chargers.
