Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10K is a new power bank from Belkin that is Qi2 compatible. That means you will get the full 15W wireless charging for your Qi2-compatible devices like your iPhone.
Previously, Belkin also had a magnetic power bank, but they are not Qi2 certified, so it only charges your phone at a maximum of 7.5W.
Ugreen 130W 3-Port Car Charger has two USB-C ports and one USB-A port that delivers up to 130W of power.
I bought it for S$16.81 on Shopee. On Lazada, the lowest I saw is S$17.92.
Ugreen Uno 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger is one of the latest product in their Uno lineup. It retails for S$60.90 on both Lazada and Shopee. I got this as a review unit from Ugreen.
The two circular plastic pieces on the left and right side of the charger have no function; it is purely aesthetic to simulate ears.
After solving the problem of charging my gadgets, there is only one problem: charging my Apple Watch. Since there is no Apple Watch charger at Big-C, I can only get it the next day.
I wanted to get the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1 m) from Apple Store in Central World which is directly opposite my hotel, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong. But it is way more expensive in Thailand than in Singapore. The official retail price of that cable is TH฿1,290 (S$52), and in Singapore, it is only S$39. So, I aborted the idea.
I didn’t expect I would forget to bring my Travel Gadget Pouch to Bangkok, which contains my chargers and cables to charge all my gadgets.
The hotel I stayed in, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong, only has USB-A sockets on the wall socket.
During 11/11 singles sales day, I bought the Sharge Icemag 2 Power Bank from Shopee for S$74.90. The usual retail price is S$89.90. You can also get it from Lazada.
I bought this Sharge Icemag 2 to replace my Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, which shows signs of aging given the battery capacity is not a lot to begin with. It can no longer give me an additional 40% charge. The percentage is about 20% now, so there is no point in bringing it out anymore.
My one and only Black Friday haul. I bought the Anker Prime Charger 250W 6-Port GaNPrime Charger on Shopee for S$162.29. The usual retail price is about S$222.99. You could also get it from Lazada.
Since I have been shopping on Shopee quite often this quarter, I decided, after much procrastination, to sign up for a MariBank credit card and a MariBank savings account. You can use my referral code if you are in the same situation as me, 9WNW69AK. You will get S$10, and I will get S$10.
Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station is a 3-in-1 portal wireless charging station is targetted for travelling.
It is being sold on both Shopee and Lazada for S$189.99. I managed to get it for S$124.99 on Lazada during their 5/5 sale price alongside a flash voucher.
The battery of my APC BACK-UPS BK650-AS USB 650VA only lasted me about three years. A new APC Replacement Battery, RBC #17, costs S$113, 56% of the cost of a new APC BACK-UPS BK650-AS (~S$200). It doesn’t make financial sense to replace the battery.
After my APC BACK-UPS BK650-AS battery spoiled, I decided to use both of my Network-Attached Storage (NAS) as it is at my new house. However, my house’s electricity keeps tripping randomly at least once a month for various reasons.
In my previous post on Belkin BoostCharge Pro 140W 4-Port GaN Wall Charger, I mentioned that it would be good if I can swap out the UK plug for other countries plugs so that it could be used for travel.
I think Belkin has gotten lots of feedback about this and has launched another version with interchangeable tips included. I don’t know why Belklin called it tips instead of plugs, but I shall refer it to tips for consistency. They mean the same thing.
