Recently, a dear friend of mine traveled overseas for the first time. He went alone and had a remarkable experience. However, the one issue he faced was his phone battery regularly ran down to levels that made him a bit uncomfortable. After all, being in an unfamiliar locale and having your only means of navigating the area can be a bit daunting.

Fortunately, he took a couple of charging banks with him.

This served as a good reminder for my upcoming vacation and the need to pack a battery bank so neither my wife nor I run into a similar situation. Although I'm confident myPixel 7 Pro will last throughout the day, I also know how video and Google Maps can seriously drain a phone battery.

Fortunately, I've had a particularly reliable battery bank for some time. That device is theElecjet PowerPie P10 and has saved my phone from running out of juice on a number of occasions. Most recently, during an extended power outage. That power bank gave me a few extra days of security, so I knew I would have enough juice to make it until power was restored.
