Two-for-One Power: Nimble SharePower Splits Into Dual Battery Packs

Nimble’s SharePower is a 10,000mAh power bank that splits into two 5,000mAh packs magnetically, letting two users charge separately or combine for up to 35W total across three USB-C ports. Each half provides up to 20W when used solo, with pogo pins to balance charge when reassembled. It also includes a built-in charging cable, light readouts for each half, and a compact form factor, making it handy for group travel; downsides are a weaker magnetic latch, a potentially fragile built-in cord, no wireless charging, and a higher price than basic power banks.

Tiny USB-C power dongle turns vintage gadgets into USB-C powered devices

Tiny USB-C power dongle turns vintage gadgets into USB-C powered devices

Sean Hollister tests Werewolf’s VFLEX, a tiny programmable USB‑C power dongle that lets gear with barrel jacks run on USB‑C power. You attach the VFLEX to the gadget, connect a USB‑C charger or battery, snap on a barrel tip, and use the Werewolf app to program the exact voltage for that device, storing profiles for quick setup. It can power a 19V monitor, a Super Famicom, and other retro gear from a portable battery, and, with capable adapters, push up to 48V, though some chargers (like Apple’s 140W) can’t deliver certain voltages and PPS is sometimes required. A caveat: devices with center‑negative barrels need orange tips, and Werewolf plans to phase out that connector in favor of a reverse‑polarity version. The system is modular, firmware updatable, and Werewolf is exploring more power options to unlock even more voltages in the future.

Sharge Disk Pro 2: the pocket USB-C dock that doubles as an SSD, Switch 2-friendly

Sharge Disk Pro 2: the pocket USB-C dock that doubles as an SSD, Switch 2-friendly

The Verge’s hands-on with the Sharge Disk Pro 2 praises a compact USB-C hub that doubles as a 4K HDMI dock and supports up to 8TB M.2 SSDs, plus SD/microSD readers, USB-A, and 80W USB‑C PD — effectively turning a laptop, phone, or Switch into a multi‑display, multi‑storage setup. It uses built‑in magnets to attach to devices, has a detachable cable, and improved airflow, but the Ultra model’s low power draw (3W to the SSD) can cause shutdown under big transfers or ProRes recording unless you add external power; Nintendo Switch 2 docking also needs a strong charger. Still, it’s the first Sharge drive I’d actually carry in my bag.

Stretch Android Storage: Cloud, USB Drives, and OTG Tricks

To free up space on Android without a microSD, you can use cloud storage like Google One/Photos/Drive (15GB free, with backups counting toward your quota) or connect USB-C external storage via OTG (external SSDs or USB drives accessed through the phone’s file manager). Some newer Android versions also let you move installed apps to an SD card on devices that still include a microSD slot. High-end phones capable of 8K recording may even write directly to an external SSD.
