wordpress-logoQuestion from Dan J.:  Hi Rick. I recently made the switch from Blogger to my own self-hosted WordPress blog with the help of your step-by-step guide to installing WordPress. I can honestly say it’s the best move I’ve ever made.

Charmast 20000mAh Portable Charger / Power Bank with Built-in Cables

Are you constantly misplacing the cables to your portable power bank? This little gem solves that problem once and for all.

It comes with USB-C, USB-A and microUSB cables built right into it, ensuring that you always have them when you need them. And if your device uses a Lightning connector you can plug in an external Lightning cable as well.

The 20000mAH capacity is good for 3 – 4 full phone charges or several partial charges, which I’ve found to be more than adequate for my needs.

This has been my go-to portable charger and power bank for a while now and I absolutely love it.
