Travel tech questions
What's the one travel tech item I should never fly without?
A power bank. Dead phones mean no boarding passes, no maps, and no ride home — the Anker PowerCore 10000 covers two to three full charges and fits in a jacket pocket.
Do I need a universal adapter or just a plug adapter?
For international trips, a universal adapter like the EPICKA covers 150+ countries in one brick, with USB ports so you leave extra chargers at home. A single-country plug adapter is cheaper but only works in one place.
Can I bring power banks and chargers in carry-on luggage?
Yes — airlines require lithium batteries in carry-on, not checked bags. Power banks under 100Wh (all ten picks here) are allowed; keep them charged and within reach.
