From important events to life-changing memories, our phones (and other devices) come with us everywhere to capture the moments our brains are too prehistoric to remember (well enough). The avoidable anxiety we feel in that moment is what this article will (hopefully) help you plan for.
We heard from one recent customer who used one of our power banks over a 13-hour period, making use of its multiple charging ports to help others stay charged. Salute to you, Deb.
