Batteries and Chargers

REVIEW – I have portable power banks everywhere in my life… in every car, my office, multiple rooms in my house, and I give them as gifts to friends and family so that I know I’ll always have access to one when I am with other people! Ha! Anyway, I love these things and have […]

REVIEW – I live near the ocean, and regardless of season, I experience power outages. Over the years, I have purchased and tried numerous power banks with the hope that having enough of them would be the solution for handling the power and charge/recharge option for my numerous devices and for sometimes extended blackouts.

Zendure’s SuperPort Gallium Nitride (GaN) chargers just might be my ticket to charging heaven. What is it? The Zendure SuperPort S2 is

More and more of my gadgets are finally coming with USB-C. Let’s take a look at the Zendure SuperTank Pro
