The Quatro Wireless Power Bank for $70 is tempting, very tempting. Anyone have experience with it or a similar competing item?
I took my Quatro power bank on my vacation recently and was very happy with it. I used it mostly to charge my apple watch and AirPods. Too bad this deal wasn't around when I bought mine.
Satechi makes good stuff, but wireless technology is intrinsically garbage; You are throwing a significant portion of the energy away.
The 3-in-1 was really nice, quality built even the finish. For me I returned in in 4 days as I couldn't unlock the 12 mini with it being so flat (I didn't have my current watch then).
I'm hoping they can make a great 3-in-1 stand like the Belkin. I hadn't known about the power loss.
