Ken Pillonel, a freelance hardware prototyping consultant, designed a case that adds a Lightning port to the iPhone 17 Pro, allowing users to charge with existing Lightning cables.

Belkin's Charging Case for the Nintendo Switch 2 includes a 10,000mAh battery that can charge the console nearly twice and supports up to 20W charging speeds.

The Unix UX-1519 NEOM power bank is different as it takes industrial design into the mix of solid functionality, often customary to a battery bank. The 10,000mAh battery bank for your power-hungry gadgets delivers 22.5W fast charging for compatible devices, never letting you down when on-the-go.

OnePlus unveiled its current flagship, the OnePlus 15, in October last year. Although the launch of its successor is still some time away, leaks have already begun to surface online. The latest leak hints at the phone's battery capacity. The OnePlus 16 will house a large 9,000mAh battery, according to a tipster. Notably, its predecessor, the 15, comes with a 7,300mAh unit with 120W fast charging support.

And now a purported Qi2 power bank designed to work with the Galaxy S26 series has been outed. The power bank has the model number EB-U2500 and supports wireless charging at up to 15W. It can also charge devices via a USB-C cable at up to 20W with USB-PD or Qualcomm Quick Charge. The power bank itself charges at 25W. It will attach magnetically to the phones, of course, since Qi2 is basically MagSafe for Android.

EDC used to mean something very specific. Ask any survival enthusiast and they'll tell you it stands for EveryDay Carry, the essential tools you keep on hand at all times. A Swiss Army knife. A multi-tool. A compact flashlight. Things built for the unpredictable, the inconvenient, and the emergency. The whole point was physical survival, and the design language to match: rugged, matte, built to last.

Right now, one of the best cheap and practical Presidents' Day deals I've found is Anker's Nano USB-C wall charger for just $10. It's a 50% savings in the white color, and the lowest price I've seen this adapter sell for. Price comparison site CamelCamelCamel also points out that this limited-time deal is the lowest the charger has been recorded as selling for.

The Snap-n-Charge is small as power banks go, and only 3,200 mAh/16 Wh. This is good enough for a quick top-up of a smartphone or headphones. And a top-up is what you get -- the capacity is enough for about a 50% top-up for a smartphone or portable speaker, or about three or four recharges of earbuds or headphones. The power bank is housed in a polymer shell that shrugs off impacts and damage from being rattled around pockets and bags with things like keys.

At 16mm thick, it's built around portability rather than maximum runtime. The semi-solid-state battery delivers approximately 40 minutes of continuous output at full 70W load, or several hours for lower-draw devices like LED lights or camera batteries. That's not camping-weekend capacity, it's designed for day trips, flights, and situations where outlets exist but aren't convenient. The unit stays flight-safe under 100Wh limits, recharges in 90 minutes, and includes both USB-C PD output and pass-through charging.

Charging phones and portable devices has become one of the most routine actions of modern life. From the moment we wake up to the time we go to sleep, our devices depend on reliable power. We charge at home, in offices, cafés, airports, hotels, libraries, and public transportation spaces. Despite how frequently charging occurs, the physical environments designed to support it often feel like an afterthought.

The charging station delivers up to 15W of power to compatible MagSafe iPhones while pulling double duty as an adjustable phone stand, making it easy to check notifications at a glance. For Apple Watch owners, it supports fast charging on newer models like the Apple Watch Series 11. In between, there's a Qi charging pad that outputs up to 5W for AirPods or other earbuds that support wireless charging.

The Anker iPhone 17 USB-C Car Charger is a compact three-port car charger that charges your phone, tablet, and laptop from a single 12V outlet. This charger features an ultra-compact metal case that fits neatly in the socket without obstructing other controls. Two USB-C ports and one USB-A port share a combined high-output port, so you can charge multiple devices at once.

The Aukey MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro is a 5-in-1 desktop charging station that tries to pull everything into one small cube. It combines four wired outputs, including two retractable USB-C cables, with a Qi2 25W magnetic wireless stand on top, all powered by a 200W GaN engine. The idea is that one object in arm's reach quietly replaces the pile of bricks and cables, sitting visibly on the desk instead of hiding behind the monitor.

The Jackery Explorer 300 Portable Power Station provides a convenient means to keep mobile devices and campsite accessories powered when they're not near an electrical outlet. It is a rectangular-shaped unit with a built-in handle and weighs approximately 7.1 pounds, making it easy to transport to other areas within the home or pack into the car. The chassis contains a rechargeable 293Wh Lithium-Ion battery that provides adequate power for a variety of small devices during short-duration power outages or camping adventures.
