WEBVTT - Unique Portable Chargers

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Or unique ways to charge up your gadgets. I'm Rich Tamiro.

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>This is rich on Tech Daily. If you're a regular

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.319
<v Speaker 1>listener to this podcast, you probably wondered where was I

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>for the past week. Well, I took a little vacation

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and for the first time I think forever, I deleted

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>all social media.

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Off of my phone.

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So literally I had no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram,

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>no email for a week. The only way people can

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>get in touch with me was through text or phone calls.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 1>Probably got zero phone calls but a bunch of texts,

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>And I gotta say it felt kind of weird, but

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>also kind of liberating as well. So if you have

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to take a vacation and do that, definitely

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>try it out. All right, on to today's information. These

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>are some unique ways to charge your gadgets. I'm going

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 1>to tell you about four different products. The first is

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the Tilt Block Party. This is a portable battery and

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>a Bluetooth speaker in one. This has a twenty thousand

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>million hour capacity That means you can recharge the tip

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>iPhone about ten times.

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I really love what Tilt does with their products.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>So they make really nicely designed accessories they were very

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>famous for, like their flat charging cable for the car,

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>but they also have a bunch of other stuff as well.

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, this device is two parts. You get the battery.

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Bank on the bottom, than the Bluetooth speaker that sits

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>on the top, and it can play tunes for up

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>to seventy two hours. There's also four USB ports. Your

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>friends can join in on the charging as well. This

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>is one hundred and thirty dollars. Next up is the

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Loomy Power Light. Now you might have heard Loomy. They're

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>famous for their light up phone cases. Basically they have

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>cases for the iPhone that sort of have LED strips

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>first on the front for selfies, then they put them

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.199
<v Speaker 1>on the back if you want to take them that way.

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>But now they're applying that same LED technology to a

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>portable power bank. So this is basically your typical backup battery.

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>It's called the Loomi Power Light. But it also has

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a built in LED light. So one side of the

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>battery is basically a flat screen of LED.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>And what do you use that for?

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Will you can get creative with your videos, you can

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>light up your selfies, you can use it to light

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>up your Facebook lives, there's also a strobe light function,

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>so if you want to make your videos look extra unique,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>but more importantly, you're probably gonna use that to get

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>some attention wherever you are, so it's kind of fun.

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.519
<v Speaker 1>This is built for functionality and also fun. But again

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>it's called the Loomy Power Light and that is fifty dollars.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Next up the rav Power Power Bank. And what's cool

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>about this one is it's the first backup battery I've

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>seen that has wireless charging built right into it. And

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>now that the iPhone has wireless charging, of course, wireless

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>charging is super popular. Everyone's looking for a way to

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>wirelessly charge their phone. Samsung's had it for a while,

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>but now that iPhone has it, it's.

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Really pushed the popularity up.

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>So this rav Power power Bank lets you wirelessly charge

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>your phone just about anywhere. All you have to do

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>is lay your phone on the top and it will

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>wirelessly charge it.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Rav Power says that their wireless charging is a little

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>bit faster than everyone else's. They use something called hyper

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>air technology. This is their proprietary technology to safely charge

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>iPhones at full speed. They say it is faster than

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the competition. We tested the PB eighty model. This has

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>a ten four hundred million amp hour battery along with

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a USB C and a USB C Quick Charge three

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 1>point zero port. Basically, you're gonna be able to charge

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>your phone the fastest input and output with this device,

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's got everything covered for you. Finally, this is

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the granddaddy of all chargers and my favorite of the bunch.

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>It's called the Omni Charge.

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit more expensive than your typical power bank,

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>but it has everything. This is literally the nerds dream

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and the road warriors dream when it comes to a

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>power bank. So let me tell you about some of

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the features on this thing. First off, it's a brick.

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>It's big, but it has a lot of power. Twenty

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>thousand plus millionamp hours of capacity, so that's pretty big.

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 2>But they do have several different models.

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>And the cool thing about this is it really gives

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you the flexibility to charge just about anything. So there's

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a built in AC outlet, so yes, you get a

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>real power outlet just like you'd see in the wall.

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>There's also a DC port, and what that DC port

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>does is it allows you to basically charge things like laptops,

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Microsoft Surface all those things with kind of a little

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>adapter plug and it's going to give you the fastest

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>charge for all those devices. Now I didn't test this

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>aspect of it, but a lot of people apparently like

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you can recharge the Omni Charge by

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>plugging in a solar panel to it. So if you're

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 1>really somewhere out in the woods, this device can be

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>your all in one. And the other thing I really

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>love about the Omni Charge there's a little built in

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>LCD screen. And why do you need that? Well, it's

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>really handy because most of these batteries that I've tested,

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>these little portable chargers, they have like one, two, three,

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>or four LED lights on them that kind of give

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you an indicator of how good the battery is, if

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you've got twenty five percent left, fifty percent left, seventy

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.679
<v Speaker 1>five percent, or fully charged. This one has an LED

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>screen that literally tell you the specifics. It's gonna tell

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you how fast your device is charging, so you're gonna

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>see that right on the screen. Plus's gonna tell you

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly how much battery is left, and all in real time.

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>The Omni Charge starts at one hundred and eighty dollars.

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 1>But believe me, if you're a road warrior, you gotta

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>check this thing out, all right. If you don't want

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>something expensive, you just want something basic, I recommend the

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Anchor Power Core. This is about thirty dollars and it's

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna charge your phone about three to five times.

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I've used it in the past.

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>It gets lots of great reviews on Amazon, and you

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>can get links to all of these devices on my website.

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.880
