The June Theme is “Cheap Gadgets from Alibaba”, the king of cheap stuff on the Internet. On this week’s show Chad played What The Heck Is It? with this gadget and all of us were baffled. It turns out the tiny, strange looking gadget could be quite helpful. It’s an Mini Emergency Phone Charger. It works with 2 AA or AAA Batteries. It comes with a Micro-USB Interface, and a Lightning and MicroUSB to C Adapter, so it can charge most small recharageable devices.
And Chad’s take: Chad was impressed with this gadget. It’s magnetic so it holds the batteries in place quite securely as you’ll see when he demos it. It sure is mini in size. And it’s likely you’ll have 2 AA or AAA batteries handy, or can find some easily. It uses two batteries to become a small power bank. Chad has no idea how long it would take to charge a device, but we were impressed it actually did show it was charging Chad’s Switch. Chad paid about $4.00 and $2.50 shipping. They’re are lots of other options for this on Alibaba and you can find it on Amazon for under $13 something. (I just ordered one on Amazon so I can get it in one day rather than 30 to 60 Alibaba delivery days.)
