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.
Verbatim 4-Port 100W PD Travel Charger is a travel charger that comes with four interchangeable plugs and has three USB-C Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 ports and one USB-A Quick Charge (QC) 3.0 port.
It retails for S$114 on Shopee and Lazada before any discounts.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 140W 4-Port GaN Wall Charger has three USB-C ports and one USB-A port that is capable of a maximum output of 140W.
Only one color is available, which is white, and it retails for S$199
The Ugreen Nexode 100W Charger is the bigger brother of the Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger that I got a few months ago.
As the name implies, it is a 100W charger, but instead of three ports in the Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger, this charger has four ports: three USB-C ports and one USB-A port.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad is a newly launched product in August 2023 by Belkin which also happens to be the smaller brother of the BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad.
You can tell from the name that it can wireless charge two devices simultaneously: an iPhone at 15W and a wireless Qi device at 5W. Since it is MagSafe certified, your iPhone can charge at 15W.
