Yes, outlets with USB ports are safe to use. Power output is reduced to 2.4 amps per USB port with 4.8 amps combined output across two USB ports. Some outlets have a lower combined output of 3.6 amps of combined output, which reduces the output in one port to 1.2 amps when both ports are in use.

Efficient. USB power points can charge your devices much more quickly than your traditional ones as they have three times more power than the typical wall outlets. This is especially beneficial for devices that have bigger batteries and are used very frequently.
How long do USB sockets last?
Standard USB has a minimum rated lifetime of 1,500 cycles of insertion and removal, the mini-USB receptacle increases this to 5,000 cycles, and the newer Micro-USB and USB-C receptacles are both designed for a minimum rated lifetime of 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal.
