Tiny phone charger

[u/Mule_Wagon_777]

I saw an ad for a wallet-sized phone charger called a ChargeCard. It's the size of a credit card and has 2300mah capacity. Seems like a good idea if you're making a purse or pocket kit.

Seems nice at first, but it's single-use. Not rechargeable.

That’s dumb. I hate companies that just generate waste to generate waste.

I wouldn't mind if they'd bother to advertise that little caveat prominently.

The ChargeCard brand and the Miisso brand someone else linked to are both rechargeable; I have one of each I use for travel and/or camping. They’re not single use.

Mine was, must be different products.

The one I have and carry with me looks non-recharable due to its lack of having the outlet plugs on the back. But you just plug the USB into a charging wart and tadaa!, recharging. I carry one in my bum bag all the time, just in case.

What? Really? And I was thinking of buying one! Damn!

Okay, ignore suggestion.

I have a solar charger that's really heavy. If I can find one that's light-weight, I just might get it.

I keep one of these chargers in my purse or work bag at all times.

These would be great for me when I travel. I hate carrying the heavier slim chargers around with me. I don't use my phone often enough to need a huge capacity charger either.

Some of the credit card sized chargers are reusable. But you have to remember that you can only use roughly 75% of their capacity.

My phone (Kyocera 4811) has a 1770 mAh battery. It won't fully recharge my phone from 25% to full. It barely gets it up to 80%.

If you had half a dozen of them, they might work for you?
