Belkin Launches BoostCharge Pro Power Bank With Apple Watch Fast-Charging and 20W USB-C PD Port for $99.99

My AW 7 lasted almost 2 days with my usage.
My 13 Pro Max used ~25% of battery per day with my usage normally (about 50% for a travel day).

Now, I'm running an Ultra - which hits 72 hours easily and a 14 Pro Max which has slightly more usage than my 13 Pro Max does.

Up until the most recent Watch OS upgrade I could make it through like 1.5 days, maybe I should just reset the watch and see if that helps... so annoying that's a "solution" for so many Apple products

Just my opinion but of all the Apple Products I've ever had, I haven't had to reset them very often, BUT I do keep them lean - meaning, I don't install a billion apps on them. The Apple Watch is very small on the resources side (ram, storage, CPU) - so if one accepts all the defaults and dozens of apps are installed, I can see it affect the Watch's longevity.

Ever since I got the watch, I defaulted to no app installs and I averaged maybe 2-3 apps at most. I've never had to "reset" the watch because it was having battery problems.

I find just doing a hard reset (Crown + Button) - to reboot it - fixes most of the weird drain problems I've had over the years (not very often).


IMO most people's problems are runaway apps and/or apps that aren't designed very well.

You make some very good points on cables and devices lasting a long time. Maybe I have not looked hard enough, but I wish I could find an Apple Watch fast-charging cable that was only 1 foot long.

I would like to buy one as well... It does not exist.

this seems reasonable, i skip having to buy a $30 apple watch fast charger so the "effective price" i pay is $70, adding the ocnvenicne of not needing to pack the extra physical cord when traveling, this seems reasonable to me for travel. Am i missing something? I just bought a mophie 10000mamp unit with 1 PD usb C port and 1 USB A port for $40. The effective price difference is $30 and to me thats reasonable for the convenience/all in one/no extra cables needed travel. Does this seem reasonable?

Sounds like a good option and ideal for trips

End game battery pack.

Sorry to bring this back up, are you still happy with it? I’ve had a good few packs from Anker (right back to my trusty Astra which is still going), but my fast charging one seems to have grown legs and disappeared. This one seems to have mixed reviews on amazon…

Yep it’s absolutely amazing. I love it.

And I’m a fussy bugger.
