Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank
The Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank is the Qi2-certified version of the ArmorGo, lifting wireless charging from 5W to the full Qi2 speed. Oddly, Benks never prints the Qi2 logo on the box. I have it in DawnLight Gold.

Ugreen USB-C To USB-C 100W Retractable Cable
The Ugreen USB-C to USB-C 100W Retractable Cable retails around S$15, dropping to about S$9 on sale days; I grabbed mine for S$8.69 on 7/7. Its retractable design replaces both my short and long travel cables in one.
Benks ArmorGo Power Bank
The Benks ArmorGo Power Bank comes in 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh capacities and several designs, sold only on the Benks website for now. Prices range from US$39.99 to US$50.99, with free shipping to Singapore and code lesterchan15 for 15% off.
Benks Grand Headphone Stand
The Benks Grand Headphone Stand is designed for the AirPods Max and comes in white and black. It carries a curious price gap, S$53.72 on Shopee versus S$38.05 on Lazada, or US$39.99 direct from Benks with code lesterchan15.

The Benks ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet Stand is a 2-in-1 MagSafe hardcase wallet that holds up to three cards and doubles as a portrait or landscape phone stand. It retails for S$36.90 on Shopee, in 600D, Aurora, and Prestige variants.
Charging Discounts For Tesla In Singapore
Singapore has over ten EV charging operators, with prices from S$0.40 to S$0.80 per kWh. I favour cheaper AC charging without idling fees, planning trips around it and using PlugShare to find operators wherever I park.
Third-Party Tesla Apps: TezLab, Tessie, TeslaMate
The default Tesla app leaves much of the car's API untapped. I look at three third-party apps, TezLab, Tessie, and TeslaMate, which log every trip and charging session for detailed breakdowns of cost and usage the official app lacks.
My Tesla Model 3 Highland (2025) Modifications
After kitting out my Tesla Model 3 Highland (2025) with accessories, I made three more minor modifications. First up is a dedicated dashcam, since the car's six cameras and battery-draining Sentry Mode aren't ideal for capturing number plates.
Niimbot D110 Portable Label Printer
Just two years in, my DYMO LabelManager 160 died with an unfixable label jam, so I'm done with DYMO. For under S$30 I switched to the Niimbot D110 portable label printer, choosing it over the similarly priced D11.
Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C 140W Cable
Charging on the Tesla Model 3 Highland's wireless pad runs slow and hot, so I prefer its USB-C ports, which output up to 65W. The Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C 140W cable suits charging phones quickly inside the car.
Benks ArmorPop Phone Grip & Stand
The Benks ArmorPop is a MagSafe phone grip and stand that borrows openly from PopSockets, right down to the name. With a metal stand and plastic grip, it sells direct for US$25.99, though Shopee is cheaper at S$28.86.
Happy 41st Birthday To Me
Officially past 40, I'm trying to slow down and prioritise quality of life over quantity. That means splurging on Japanese produce at Donki and booking bigger, more convenient hotel rooms when travelling, rather than always chasing the cheapest option.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad
Belkin's answer to Anker's MagGo, the BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad comes in two variants: UK-only at S$225 or with international travel tips at S$239. It bundles a 36W charger and a 1.5m cable.
Belkin BoostCharge Power Bank 10K With Integrated Cable
Alongside its magnetic power bank, Belkin offers the BoostCharge Power Bank 10K with a built-in 5.7cm USB-C cable instead of Qi2 wireless, so you can skip carrying a separate cable. It comes in 10,000mAh and four colours.
My Tesla Model 3 Highland (2025) Accessories
After buying plenty of accessories for my Tesla Model 3 Highland (2025), I share my full list with prices. Most came from Taobao, which is far cheaper than paying the 'English tax' for the same items on Shopee.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10K
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10K is Qi2 compatible, delivering the full 15W to iPhones versus 7.5W on Belkin's older non-certified packs. It retails for S$129, with a 5K version at S$95, in black and white.
Tesla Model 3 Highland (2025) Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) COE Category B
I ordered a Tesla Model 3 Highland RWD (COE Category B) in December 2024 and took delivery in February 2025. Singapore had switched the default colour to Stealth Grey, so I paid S$1,500 extra to keep white.
SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0 microSD Card Reader
The SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0 is the smallest USB-A microSD card reader I've found, at 31x21x9mm and just 3.4g. I bought it for S$12.88 to pair a 512GB high-endurance card with my Tesla's dashcam recording.
Ugreen 130W 3-Port Car Charger
The Ugreen 130W 3-Port Car Charger packs two USB-C ports and one USB-A, with the second USB-C hitting 100W for laptops. Lightweight at 45g and a little plasticky, I picked it up for just S$16.81 on Shopee.
Ugreen Uno 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger
A review unit from Ugreen, the Uno 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger retails for S$60.90 and is Qi2 certified for 15W to your iPhone, plus a 5W pad below for AirPods. The decorative side ears are purely aesthetic.
Ulti Anti-Fatigue Standing Mat
I bought the Ulti Anti-Fatigue Standing Mat from Shopee for S$53, choosing the standard size over the mini. Despite owning a standing desk, I rarely stand, so this mat isn't really for me but for Li Xiang.
Belkin Secure Holder with Key Ring for AirTag
Belkin doesn't sell the Secure Holder with Key Ring for AirTag in Singapore, only the strap version. I ordered mine from Amazon.sg for S$23.52, shipped free from the US via Prime, arriving as a two-pack at about S$12 each.
