Chargers disappear. Charger wires disappear. Chargers are drained, not recharged, then taken into the world, where they are useless.

Teenagers and chargers are, by now, an old story. But it’s not a story just about kids — chargers come with gremlins, and these gremlins make them disappear, the better to swell the profits of tech companies.

No gremlins surround the myCharge HubPlus Portable Charger External Battery Pack with Built-In USB Port, Integrated Apple Lightning and Micro-USB Cables, Foldable Wall Plug for iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy.

Translation: a plug-in-the wall battery pack that has two built-in charger wires and a USB port. It charges phones fast — up to 30% faster than your Apple wall charger. And the plug folds inside the Hub, so you can put this 4” x 2.5” x 1” device inside your bag. Heavy? 8 ounces. But it’s the only charger you need to take.

Choices…

We bought the HubPlus (6,700 mAh). $77. [To buy it from Amazon, click here.]

The Hub Mini is $50 (3300mAh). [To buy it from Amazon, click here.]

And, of course, there’s the supercharged version, the HubMax (10,050 mAh). $100. [To buy it from Amazon, click here.]

Verdict: problem solved. Now back to creating world piece.
