In my Benks ArmorGo Power Bank post, I mentioned that one of the shortcomings of the powerbank is the lack of Qi2 certification, and hence the wireless charging speed is limited to 5W.
Enter Benks ArmorGo Qi2 Power Bank. It is the Qi2-certified version of the Benks ArmorGo Power Bank.
Benks ArmorGo Power Bank is available in two capacities, 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh.
Since it is a new Benks product, it is unavailable on both their Shopee and Lazada stores. You have to get it from their website. The pricing varies depending on the design and capacity.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad is the answer to Anker’s Anker MagGo Wireless Charging Station.
There are two variants to BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad. One has international travel tips (US, UK, EU, AU & China), and the other only has the UK tip for the Singapore market.
Belkin BoostCharge Power Bank 10K With Integrated Cable is the other new power bank from Belkin in addition to the Belkin BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10K.
Instead of Qi2 wireless charging, this power bank offers a 5.7cm integrated USB-C cable.
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.
