    Get a multi port USB charger. I have some from Anker that have 2 usb-c ports and 2 usb-a ports. Can charge everything from my laptop to all my gadgets.

    You can’t have enough usb chargers.

      One of my best purchases is the Anker 543 charger:

      • 2x USB-C and 2x USB-A ports delivering up to 45W.
      • Plugs into socket with an AC cable instead of built-in prongs. Lets you plug it into tight areas where a wall wart won’t fit.
      • AC cable is a removable figure 8 attachment, so if it breaks you can replace it cheaply without buying a new charger. You can also buy an extra long AC cable to get power further away.
      • Power supply is compatible with 240v and 110v AC. If you’re traveling, just buy that country’s AC cord for $5 instead of all those shitty attachments that travel adapters come with.

        I once bought a couple of 6 or 8 foot charging cables from Anker. My gf and I could both zone out on our phones on the couch then. Before that one of us could hunch down at a time if we needed to look at something on the phone.

        It was just interesting how nice it was to be able to be on the phone while it was charging, and that we had two of them.

        For maybe $15 apiece or $20 for the pair, it was a lot of value for the money.

      I just bit the bullet and got some from Anker. Gonna have so many fast charging stations, I’ll finally stop dragging the one good charger around behind me everywhere I go.
