Tech-U-Can-Use (TUCU): In preparing for the resumption of travel, I got myself a 4-Port 108W GaN charger from Belkin as well as an assortment of USB cables.
In anticipation of a few upcoming trips, I’m re-equipping myself with devices and accessories for traveling.
One of the most stressful chores during travel is charging the plethora of electronic devices that we bring along for business trips and family vacations.
My top tip for people traveling with lots of electronic devices is to bring along a plug power bank, because many hotel rooms do not have enough wall outlets to plug in all our electronic gadgets.
It also helps reduce the number of plug adaptors for countries that do not use the same 2-pin or 3-pin sockets as we do here.
To cut back on the number of charging plugs, I got myself a Belkin BoostCharge Pro 4-Port 108W GaN Charger.
This in itself squeezes the need for four wall outlets into only one, so you can either plug this charger directly into a wall outlet and let it serve four devices simultaneously, or plug it into one of the many sockets of a plug power bank.
Personally, I would do the former.
With the following, I’m all ready to hit the road when it comes to keeping my electronic devices charged.
I’ll be including reviews and specs for these so you can see if they’re suitable for your own travel needs.

The 4-Port charger also removes the need to bring along the charging plug-heads for each device – all you need are the USB-A or USB-C charging cables for each device.
In fact, I also got myself some of these USB cables to replace those that came in the box with the devices. Check out the list in the box.

personally I’ve got a few bad experiences with using cheap generic cables that came with my phones. Now I get 3rd party cables of better quality and which tend to be more rugged.
I know right! Also instead of bringing 10 cables for 10 devices, I just bring a few good cables that the devices share. The cables are now pegged with the charger’s ports, rather than the device.
