All of the theoretical "cooling" benefits of GaN talk just needs to stop. i definitely have non GaN chargers that run cooler than some of my GaN chargers. It matters more about the quality of components than GaN or not. This being an Anker, I don't have any worries about its temp.

Top 2 USB C it's 100W max combined if both ports are used.
If the top and middle ports are used, The max drops to 80W max or split between the top two and 15W max or split between the middle two.
If the top and bottom are used, that changes to 80 W and 12 W for the bottom.
And if all three tiers of ports are used, the top max is 73W, the middle is 15 and the bottom is 12.
Also, because of surge protector, this cannot be use in Cruise Ship. For charging station, seems like it would be best not to have surge protectors so can use it more places.
**No, it is not okay to daisy chain surge protectors.** Here are the key reasons why:
1. **Violation of Safety Regulations**: Daisy chaining surge protectors is a direct violation of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Specifically, NEC Article 110.3(B) and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.303(b)(2) and 1926.403(b)(2) prohibit this practice[1][3][4].
2. **Overload Risk**: Power strips and surge protectors are designed to handle a limited number of outlets. When you daisy chain them, you risk overloading the circuit, which can lead to fires, overheating, and equipment failure[1][2][4].
3. **Increased Electrical Resistance**: Using long extension cords to power surge protectors or power strips increases electrical resistance, generating more heat and adding to the risk of equipment failure and fires[1][2].
4. **Voiding Warranties**: Daisy chaining can void the connected device warranty provided by some manufacturers, as it violates the installation requirements[3].
5. **Non-Compliance with UL Guidelines**: Plugging a power strip into another power strip or current tap breaches Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines, making the installation non-compliant and potentially voiding homeowners' insurance in case of a fire[3].
6. **Electrical Safety Risks**: Daisy chaining can compromise the surge protection effect, potentially leading to slower trigger times for shutoff mechanisms and increased risk of electrical hazards[4].
In summary, daisy chaining surge protectors is dangerous, violates safety regulations, and can lead to serious electrical hazards. It is strongly recommended against this practice to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
