REVIEW – I’ve been a fan of RHA for many years.

REVIEW– I’m a bit intimidated by anything that can kill me. The Omni Ultimate by Omnicharge is the highest capacity portable power supply I have used in my short yet productive life.

REVIEW – Here in Indiana, we love to be outdoors. Love it. However, having all four full-on seasons ’round these parts means we can and often do have our fair share of chill-in-the-air or even downright, deep-space frigid temperatures.

REVIEW – Name two things plaguing all of the small electronics we have all grown to depend on. I’ll start. 1) They all need to be charged. 2) There are way too many cables strung all over the place.
