I wanted to share what is in my gadget pouch when I travel. Usually, when I travel, I am with Li Xiang, so I always pack gadgets for the two of us.
I just bought myself the Peak Design Small Tech Pouch from Lazada so I am using it as my travel gadget pouch.
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.
To celebrate Belkin’s 41st anniversary, Belkin has partnered with Disney to launch five Disney-theme accessories:
Belkin has kindly sent over all six Belkin Marvel-theme accessories to me.
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
Belkin BoostCharge USB-C to USB-C Cable 240W, as the product name suggests, is a USB-C to USB-C charging cable that is capable of delivering up to 240W of power through it.
Extended Power Range (EPR) is part of USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 specifications that allow USB-C cables to deliver up to 240W of power. The previous USB PD 3.0 specification provides up to 100W.
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.
BoostCharge Pro Fast Wireless Charger for Apple Watch + Power Bank 10K is probably the first and only power bank in the market right now that can fast charge your Apple Watch with its built-in Apple Watch charger. Of course, fast charging for Apple Watch is only available from Apple Watch Series 7. It is only available in Black.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger (WCH013myWH) is a 2-port USB-C charger from Belkin that officially retails for S$80. However, during a double-digit sales day, you might get it below S$70 on Lazada or Shopee.
It is only available in white.
Belkin BoostCharge Pro Portable Fast Charger for Apple Watch retails for S$90 on Belkin Store on Shopee. During 7/7 double-digit sale days, the price dropped to S$73. After deducting the vouchers, I paid S$64. Shipping is the usual additional S$1.75 within Singapore.
My new house is being renovated, and I will have a niche in my carpentry near the entrance to house our Apple Watch chargers.
My computer is not switched on 24/7. Last Saturday, when I turn on my new computer, it causes my Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) to trip. This is the first time I encountered a trip in MCB. Typically, it is the Circuit Breaker inside my house that will be tripped.
Sadly, after that happened, I can no longer switch on my computer. I suspect my Power Supply Unit (PSU) is fried.
