Bought the Energea Travelite 34W 5V/6.8A 4-Port Wall Charger for S$59 (S$53.10 after 10% member’s discount) at Bugis Junction’s Challenger.

This is a 4-port charger that is capable of a combined output of 6.8A. Two ports have a max output of 1A each, and the other two ports have a max output of 2.4A each.

The 2016 version of Mophie Powerstation Plus comes in three sizes, Powerstation Plus XL (12,000mAh), Powerstation Plus (6,000mAh) and Powerstation Plus Mini (4,000mAh).

All three sizes are available in three colors, gold, rose gold and space grey.

Bought the Energea Amp Charger 17W 5V/3.4A 2-Port Wall Charger for S$26.90 (S$24.21 after 10% member’s discount) at Bugis Junction’s Challenger.

I am surprise that Challenger’s online store, Hachi.tech, is selling it more expensive at S$35.10, excluding a 5% rebate.

I have not heard of the brand XPower before till Kakki, sole distributor of XPower, wrote to me to see if I was interested in featuring their products.

I took a look at their products on Lazada and found that they sell cables, power banks, USB chargers, etc.

I backed the MOGICS Power Donut/Bagel project on Kickstarter on 14th February 2016. The project was funded on 29th February 2016 after raising a total of US$437,738 out of their initial goal of US$15,000 from 9,882 backers.

Both the Power Donut and Power Bagel are travel power strips which is shaped like a circle for space saving.

ZUS Smart Car Charger is the latest product by nonda. nonda is a smart hardware startup founded in December 2014 and is based in Palo Alto, CA.

I backed the Flip British Plug on Kickstarter on 22nd November 2015. The project was funded on 18th December 2015 after raising a total of £28,115 out of their initial goal of £15,000 from 1,140 backers.

I chose the £14 reward level and shipping to Singapore cost another £5. So in total, I paid £19 (S$38).

Last month, GP Batteries expanded its PowerBanks and Smart On-The-Go accessories lineup to include USB Car Chargers, USB Wall Chargers, Charge & Sync USB Cables, F-Series PowerBank and Smiley Special Edition PowerBank.

USB Car Chargers
There are three models of USB Car Chargers from GP. Single USB 2.4A (S$22.90), Dual USB 4.8A (S$37.90) and Triple USB 6.3A (S$49.90). Each model comes in two colors, white and black.

Bought the Google Universal 22.5W Dual Port USB Type-C Charger together with the Google USB Type-C to USB Standard-A Plug Cable for US$39.99 (S$57) and got it to ship through HopShopGo.

This is probably the only trustable USB Type-C Charger that I can find which has more than one USB Type-C port and is reasonably priced. Besides the charger, it also comes with a 1.8m USB Type-C to Type-C cable (USB 2.0 speed) which itself already cost US$19.99 (S$29).
