I keep seeing an ad on Facebook for something called the clutch charger. The whole point of the clutch charger is that it's small and has a built-in cable. But when I checked, the thing only holds 5000 ma, and it's 50 bucks! What the fuck? I bought a 20,000ma 45 watt charger instead that is also small and cost less money on Amazon.

@Rosalyn I paid $17 for a power bank myself and its great. It doesn't have a built-in cable though but tha's t's okay.

@NicksWorld Well, I already have one that I bought at Walmart for 20 bucks, but it's a bit big. So it's not something I'd want to carry with me. That's why I bought a smaller one. I mean, I'll still take the big one with me. It's just I'll probably use it when I'm more stationary versus if I'm out for the day. I'll use the big one on the plane, but the smaller one everywhere else as an example, or keep the bigger one as a backup.

@Rosalyn @NicksWorld I think it is the whole idea that it is so small and has a silly name, but yeah I agree you could buy something far more reasonable and with more miliamps at that price for sure.

@jessmonsilva @NicksWorld Exactly, I don't care how small it is, if I'm going to have to constantly be refilling it.
