Batteries and Chargers

REVIEW – I’ve been searching for a portable battery that will charge my Lenovo Yoga laptop for a while now. My laptop requires that the power source provide at least 45 W and there are only a handful of batteries out there that will do so. Recently, I stumbled on a battery from Hyper that […]

REVIEW – I recently upgraded to a new iPhone that supports wireless charging and a new laptop with a USB-C port, so when the opportunity to review the new Aukey Omni-Power accessories arose, I leapt on it. This review will cover all of the Omni-Power line of accessories except for the Sprint Wireless portable wireless

REVIEW – Last month I reviewed several of Anker’s recently released PowerPort Atom compact wall/travel fast-chargers. Both of these relatively small, very transportable 60 watt plugs are capable of quickly charging several of your power hungry tech devices at once…from your earbuds to your USB-C laptop. Well you see, Anker has been busy, they have

REVIEW – In America alone, 10 million batteries are thrown away every day. One pack of Pale Blue USB rechargeable lithium batteries can replace up to 4,000 alkalines. Making the switch can save you money and keep toxic disposable batteries out of landfills. But how do they perform? Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – Do you have more than 1 device you need to charge simultaneously?  Yeah, dumb question, scratch that.  You want to fast-charge at least two devices at the same time.  Enter the Aukey Focus Duo.  It has 2 ports, sure, but can it get the job done?  Say it along with me: read on

REVIEW – Aukey recently updated its Minima 27 watt wall charger charger.  It was a quiet change – in fact, their web site still shows this as a 27 watt product, so perhaps the change was too quiet.  Regardless, the new incarnation – which looks exactly like the old – is out and about.  How

REVIEW – Anker produces a lot of charging accessories for the never ending list of today’s power hungry smart devices. Over the past few years, manufacturer specific chargers and massive power bricks have (thankfully) fallen to the wayside. USB-A & -C, better power efficiencies, and fast-charging technologies have led the way for universal charging solutions

REVIEW – I recently finished a review on Nimble’s Bottle Case for iPhone 11 Pro and one of the key takeaways was the company’s commitment to being eco-friendly. It’s clearly a company mission that they carry through all their products. So, how does that apply to more complicated electronics like batteries? Let’s find out as

REVIEW – Power.  Our portable devices can’t get enough of it.  Phones, cameras, drones, laptops, tablets, MP3 players, earbuds – you name it, they all need power.  If you’re going to be out and about all day using your devices, how can you keep them all happily charged and ready for use?  The answer is
