A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed cause a processor of a computing device to:

• determine that a first device is coupled to a first universal serial bus (USB) port among a plurality of USB ports;
• determine that the first device is requesting charging or high wattage use from a host module;
• and
• balance a power load among the plurality of USB ports based on the determination that the first device is requesting charging or high wattage use.
