Batteries and Chargers

REVIEW – The Chargeasap Zeus 270W GaN USB-C Charger is currently a Kickstarter project with only a few days left for what they tout as the world’s first and smallest to provide 270W of power with USB-C. I got to review a pre-production model and was hoping this could replace all the extra charging blocks […]

REVIEW – I’m a big fan of multi-device chargers. I use one by the side of my bed every night to charge my iPhone and Apple Watch. I also use one at work when I need to charge my iPad, Android tablet, and Android phone to keep them up and running. I’ve never had a

REVIEW – Are you still charging your on-person devices with individual cables? I hope not as there are a lot of multiple device options out there to solve that exact problem. If you’ve got a recent phone, an Apple Watch and some wireless charging earbuds then Zens has a solution right up your alley. I’ve

REVIEW – I have many power-hungry gadgets that gobble up power like Santa eats cookies. Keeping them running longer has always been fun! LiTime’s LiFePO4 100Ah battery is a beast that brings a sleighful of juice to my army of electronics! What is it? The LiTime 100Ah battery is a 12-volt lithium iron phosphate cell

REVIEW – Due to the forward march of progress in battery technology, we are much less dependent on power banks than we were just a few short years ago. I heard a podcaster the other day say that he had stopped using the charging stand on his desk because his phone never gets below 80%

NEWS – Back in the Spring, I reviewed a new product from Mophie, their MagSafe travel charger kit. It was one of my favorite products for the year. With MagSafe for iPhones, AirPods, and the Apple Watch, it’s the trifecta of wireless power. There is a whole other world out there, however. What about those who

REVIEW – We all need to power stuff.  Traveling complicates matters as we tend to bring along power-hungry things like laptops, tablets, phones, headphones, cameras, well, you get the idea. Trying to bring chargers for everything complicates matters and takes valuable packing space.  The recent move to gallium nitride (GaN) rather than silicon for charger

REVIEW – It’s safe to assume that almost everyone (in North America, at least) is now carrying at least two things that they need to charge on a daily basis. It may be a phone and a watch, a phone and a laptop, or a phone and earbuds – but very few folks have only

REVIEW – The world of chargers is finally getting back to normal – and actually improving. Whatever caused the dearth of available products last winter has been replaced by dozens of multiport GaN power supplies and I’m happy about it! Today’s model is from a name you’ve seen a good bit here on The Gadgeteer:

REVIEW – I’m typically not a big fan of novelty items, but when I was offered a review sample of the Shargeek Retro 35W GaN Charger, the idea of saying no didn’t cross my mind at all. As a fan of all things Apple (see episode #5 of my video podcast where I share my
