Gadgets I use

We’ve all experienced that sinking feeling when your phone hits 10% battery, and you’re nowhere near an outlet. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or just running errands, a dead phone can turn a minor inconvenience into a significant problem. That’s precisely why I started carrying this particular charging brick everywhere I go. It’s not the fanciest power bank on the market, but it’s reliable, straightforward, and has genuinely saved the day—and my wife’s sanity—more times than I can count. Here’s why I love it, what features it has, and a critical TSA update you need to know about.

Charging Brick

This one right here

Has saved me more times than I can count. It has also saved my marriage and my wife from breaking down in tears…

What it has

Now this has a fast charging and a standard charging port. Yes, just TWO USB-A ports on it. The USB-C port is for charging the brick up. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top. Just a charger that charges.

TSA

I might have to look into something different now that the TSA is cracking down on power bank wattage. If the wattage isn’t printed on the brick, then it could be taken from you. Then my wife will cry when she can’t charge her iPad.
