Batteries and Chargers

REVIEW – As Gadgeteers, we need power to use many of the products we review. Portable power banks are ubiquitous and considered a staple of many EDC users. The KUXUI S2 Qi2 MagSafe Solid-State Power Bank is different in its battery technology. What are the advantages and differences of using a portable power bank built

REVIEW – As electronics get more powerful, they need more power. More power means your old wall-wart USB chargers simply won’t cut it anymore. UGREEN has your answer with their new Nexode GaN charger capable of delivering 500W of charging goodness. Let’s take a look at the features of this unit designed to deliver…more power!

REVIEW – Summertime is travel time and that means I’ve got to keep my power banks handy.  You never know what the power situation will be on a flight, and as a gadgeteer, I’ve got way too many things that need charging.  Between the watch, the ring, the earbuds, the tablets and my phone, I’m

REVIEW – I pack a lot of electronics when I travel for work, and am responsible for a small army of gadgets when traveling with the family.  One of my least favorite rituals is the mad dash while leaving home or the hotel to make sure that each device has a charger accounted for.  Chargeasap

REVIEW – Back in September of last year, I reviewed the CUKTECH 20 power bank and was quite impressed.  I still use it on a regular basis, and it is small enough to take with me on trips considering the slimmer profile that it has. CUKTECH showed me that they are serious about this space, so when

REVIEW – The curse of having technology that you carry around everywhere is that you eventually have to park it somewhere to charge it. (Well, unless you want to also carry a battery pack around! Hey, no judgment! I’ve been that guy.) If you have a desk, table, or nightstand where you sit your devices

REVIEW – When we travel to large cities, like Washington DC or Atlanta here in the States or like London or Paris in Europe, we typically bring a small army of gadgets that need power, including iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Kindle Paperwhites. Our phones need charging during the day as we are out sightseeing,

REVIEW – NESTOUT makes some pretty cool products and when a review opportunity opened up on their new Carabiner Battery I was all in having already purchased a couple of items last summer. This little guy ups the gadget factor considerably, and for as device dependent as we all are having an extra 5,000 mAh

REVIEW – As I continue to build and remodel my garage, I am trying to think about the design including what devices and capabilities I need and can fit in the relatively small space. The design must include power options for 12V vehicles and those options must be mobile, powerful, capable, and flexible. Enter the

  REVIEW – It can be a challenge to daily charge my phone and watch, sometimes my iPad and / or headphones, as well as the occasional charging of a power bank. While this is a lot easier now that most things charge with USB-C, it can take a handful of bricks and a bunch

REVIEW – EDC for tech nerds should include a power bank for those times when you’re away from outlets. Today I want to show you the Infinacore M3 Mini MagSafe Power Bank that in and of itself isn’t extraordinary, but the fact that they offer a customization/engraving feature makes it more fun than an average

REVIEW – When you’re a gadget fanatic like I am, outlets and USB charging ports are very important. When I remodeled my office (aka Gadgeteer HQ), I made sure I had a LOT of outlets. There are 16 outlets in my office, but they are all under my desk. To solve this first world problem,
