1 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: Or unique ways to charge up your gadgets. I'm Rich Tamiro. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: This is rich on Tech Daily. If you're a regular 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: listener to this podcast, you probably wondered where was I 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: for the past week. Well, I took a little vacation 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: and for the first time I think forever, I deleted 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: all social media. 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: Off of my phone. 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: So literally I had no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: no email for a week. The only way people can 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: get in touch with me was through text or phone calls. 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: Probably got zero phone calls but a bunch of texts, 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: And I gotta say it felt kind of weird, but 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: also kind of liberating as well. So if you have 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: the opportunity to take a vacation and do that, definitely 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: try it out. All right, on to today's information. These 16 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: are some unique ways to charge your gadgets. I'm going 17 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: to tell you about four different products. The first is 18 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: the Tilt Block Party. This is a portable battery and 19 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: a Bluetooth speaker in one. This has a twenty thousand 20 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: million hour capacity That means you can recharge the tip 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: iPhone about ten times. 22 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: I really love what Tilt does with their products. 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: So they make really nicely designed accessories they were very 24 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: famous for, like their flat charging cable for the car, 25 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: but they also have a bunch of other stuff as well. 26 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: Now, this device is two parts. You get the battery. 27 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,279 Speaker 1: Bank on the bottom, than the Bluetooth speaker that sits 28 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: on the top, and it can play tunes for up 29 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: to seventy two hours. There's also four USB ports. Your 30 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: friends can join in on the charging as well. This 31 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: is one hundred and thirty dollars. Next up is the 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: Loomy Power Light. Now you might have heard Loomy. They're 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: famous for their light up phone cases. Basically they have 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: cases for the iPhone that sort of have LED strips 35 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: first on the front for selfies, then they put them 36 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 1: on the back if you want to take them that way. 37 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: But now they're applying that same LED technology to a 38 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: portable power bank. So this is basically your typical backup battery. 39 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: It's called the Loomi Power Light. But it also has 40 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: a built in LED light. So one side of the 41 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: battery is basically a flat screen of LED. 42 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: And what do you use that for? 43 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: Will you can get creative with your videos, you can 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: light up your selfies, you can use it to light 45 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: up your Facebook lives, there's also a strobe light function, 46 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: so if you want to make your videos look extra unique, 47 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: but more importantly, you're probably gonna use that to get 48 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: some attention wherever you are, so it's kind of fun. 49 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: This is built for functionality and also fun. But again 50 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: it's called the Loomy Power Light and that is fifty dollars. 51 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: Next up the rav Power Power Bank. And what's cool 52 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: about this one is it's the first backup battery I've 53 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: seen that has wireless charging built right into it. And 54 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: now that the iPhone has wireless charging, of course, wireless 55 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: charging is super popular. Everyone's looking for a way to 56 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: wirelessly charge their phone. Samsung's had it for a while, 57 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: but now that iPhone has it, it's. 58 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: Really pushed the popularity up. 59 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: So this rav Power power Bank lets you wirelessly charge 60 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: your phone just about anywhere. All you have to do 61 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: is lay your phone on the top and it will 62 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: wirelessly charge it. 63 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: Now. 64 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: Rav Power says that their wireless charging is a little 65 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: bit faster than everyone else's. They use something called hyper 66 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: air technology. This is their proprietary technology to safely charge 67 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: iPhones at full speed. They say it is faster than 68 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: the competition. We tested the PB eighty model. This has 69 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: a ten four hundred million amp hour battery along with 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: a USB C and a USB C Quick Charge three 71 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: point zero port. Basically, you're gonna be able to charge 72 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: your phone the fastest input and output with this device, 73 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: and it's got everything covered for you. Finally, this is 74 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: the granddaddy of all chargers and my favorite of the bunch. 75 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: It's called the Omni Charge. 76 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: It's a little bit more expensive than your typical power bank, 77 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: but it has everything. This is literally the nerds dream 78 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: and the road warriors dream when it comes to a 79 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: power bank. So let me tell you about some of 80 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: the features on this thing. First off, it's a brick. 81 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: It's big, but it has a lot of power. Twenty 82 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: thousand plus millionamp hours of capacity, so that's pretty big. 83 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: But they do have several different models. 84 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: And the cool thing about this is it really gives 85 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: you the flexibility to charge just about anything. So there's 86 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: a built in AC outlet, so yes, you get a 87 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: real power outlet just like you'd see in the wall. 88 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: There's also a DC port, and what that DC port 89 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: does is it allows you to basically charge things like laptops, 90 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: Microsoft Surface all those things with kind of a little 91 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: adapter plug and it's going to give you the fastest 92 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: charge for all those devices. Now I didn't test this 93 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: aspect of it, but a lot of people apparently like 94 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: the fact that you can recharge the Omni Charge by 95 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: plugging in a solar panel to it. So if you're 96 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: really somewhere out in the woods, this device can be 97 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: your all in one. And the other thing I really 98 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: love about the Omni Charge there's a little built in 99 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: LCD screen. And why do you need that? Well, it's 100 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: really handy because most of these batteries that I've tested, 101 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: these little portable chargers, they have like one, two, three, 102 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: or four LED lights on them that kind of give 103 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: you an indicator of how good the battery is, if 104 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: you've got twenty five percent left, fifty percent left, seventy 105 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: five percent, or fully charged. This one has an LED 106 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: screen that literally tell you the specifics. It's gonna tell 107 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: you how fast your device is charging, so you're gonna 108 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: see that right on the screen. Plus's gonna tell you 109 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: exactly how much battery is left, and all in real time. 110 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: The Omni Charge starts at one hundred and eighty dollars. 111 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: But believe me, if you're a road warrior, you gotta 112 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: check this thing out, all right. If you don't want 113 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: something expensive, you just want something basic, I recommend the 114 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: Anchor Power Core. This is about thirty dollars and it's 115 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: gonna charge your phone about three to five times. 116 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 2: I've used it in the past. 117 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: It gets lots of great reviews on Amazon, and you 118 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: can get links to all of these devices on my website. 119 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: Just go to rich on tech dot tv.
