10-Pack Single-Use Emergency Phone Charger | Dead Phone? Just Plug in — No Cables Needed | USB-C & Lightning | Pre-Charged | TSA-Approved

In my work tote, I have an emergency bag, labelled “Lake Como Bag”. You know, it’s for that one time when I have the chance to fly to Lake Como for the weekend and the private jet is leaving in 10 minutes and I say, “Oh, no, I couldn’t possibly. I don’t have my charger.” And you couldn’t – possibly – find a compatible charger in Rome. You see my problem. I have a solution – a one-charge charger, specifically designed with emergencies in mind. Or, if you’re watching Alan Cummins do a one-man show and you’re trying to schedule an Uber to get you back to Rockville and your phone is dying and yes, you’re at the point where you’ll happily pay $110 dollars, just to get back to the Farragut West metro station and even if you got an Uber, you wouldn’t know which is yours because – YOUR PHONE IS DEAD! Or, here’s a different, totally random scenario: Suppose, under the guise of you being a klutz, you purchased a phone case based on the color. And, over time, it destroyed the area where the phone charger goes. So, you nurse it for 18 months, until, it’s just not charging at all. And, when you buy a new phone, you realize that you have work apps on your old one and those need to be transferred over. So, you need – just one – charge from your completely dead phone. This is one of those things that you hope that you never have to use. It’s a single-use, emergency charger, specifically for emergencies (see, because, it’s in the name). It’s essentially idiot-proof; you remove it from the packaging, plug it into your phone and “dispose of it responsibly” when you’re done. I appreciate that it is so user-friendly; when your phone dies, you panic. Read the instructions, it requires no thought. I continue to be amazed at the amount of stuff that it takes to get through daily life. I would swear that the pioneers on the Oregon Trail took less baggage on a three month trip then I pack for a single work day. Modern life is hard – this little device (3 for $21.99) makes it a little easier.

Does not fit the phones it says it does

It's good for emergency use. Very slim and square. Slow charging but got me up to 50% from dead.

Thank you for the Emergency phone chargers, I am sure one day they will be handy.

Definitely great for days your phone dies

Overall awesome, but it does take a while to charge my phone. I'll be holding onto these though in case there's an emergency and I need to charge my phone.

This emergency charger is the kind of item that feels useful to keep in a bag, car console, or travel pouch. I tested one with a USB C phone, and the connection fit cleanly without needing an extra cable. That is the main appeal here. It is small, simple, and made for those moments when a phone is low and there is no outlet or power bank nearby. The charger feels lightweight and compact in the hand. It is not meant to replace a regular rechargeable power bank, and it does not feel like that kind of product. It is more of a backup option for one situation where you just need some extra phone power. I liked that there were no buttons or settings to figure out. I plugged it in and the phone recognized it, which is what I wanted to see. The USB C tip felt secure enough while connected. I would not leave it hanging from the phone while walking around carelessly, because any direct plug in charger can put pressure on the port if bumped. Sitting at a desk or keeping the phone in one spot while it charges makes more sense. During my test, it stayed connected and did not wiggle in a way that made me nervous. This feels most useful for emergencies rather than regular charging. The single use idea is different from a normal battery pack, so I see it as something for travel, events, storm kits, glove boxes, or days when you do not want to carry a larger charger. It is also nice that the set includes more than one, because you can place them in different spots instead of depending on one. The build is basic, but that fits the purpose. The outside is simple and easy to understand. I did not have to read a complicated manual or guess how to make it work. It is the kind of charger I would want to hand to someone with a nearly dead phone because there is nothing confusing about it. The downside is that it creates waste compared with a rechargeable power bank. That is worth thinking about. I would not use these for normal charging when an outlet or reusable battery is available. For a true low battery problem, though, it is convenient. The one I tested worked with my USB C phone and gave me enough confidence that the others are worth keeping in places where a dead phone would be a real hassle.

This did not work at all. Very disappointing, especially since I purchased multiple of these. Don't waste your money
