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.
*UPDATE 27th November 2024* This product is now being recalled by Belkin, please refer to belkin.com/bpd005recall for more details.

My new house is being renovated, and I will have a niche in my carpentry near the entrance to house our Apple Watch chargers.
Like the Ugreen DigiNest Cube is the younger brother of the Ugreen DigiNest Pro, the Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger is the younger brother of the Ugreen 4-Port 100W Wall Charger.
Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger retails for S$50.39 on Shopee or Lazada. Like most Ugreen products, if you are willing to wait, you can get it cheaper during double-digit sales day.
