FuelRod Portable Charger Kit - Pack of 2 - Includes All Cables & Adapters Compatible with All Tablets & Smart Phones, Rechargeable Backup Power Bank, Swap for Charged Rod at Kiosk

Worked perfect at amusement parks that use these to swap out for charged ones

FuelRod was a game-changer on my theme park trip. It kept my phone charged all day, and the free, unlimited swaps at kiosks were super convenient. Small, lightweight, and reliable — a must-have for travel!

Didn’t charge my phone 100% but it did charge it up to 55% when I had it at 5%. It was worth all my money. Didn’t swap it for another at the park but instead I kept it and used it again the next day.

We got these for Disney. They came in handy, but I definitely prefer a Magsafe battery. Having an extra large battery hanging off of you phone is not very convenient if you're in charge of Lightning Lanes and looking up wait times. As far as charging speed, they aren't super powerful or efficient. I feel like they did an OK job of extending the battery of your phone, but don't expect miracles.What they're best at is if you have a low battery and don't want your phone to die in the park. We didn't get a ton of battery refills, but they did extend the life of our phones. Just stick it in your bag and let it do its job when you need it.

These are very handy when traveling especially flying most airports have exchange sites where they can be switched out for a fresh rod no more looking for an ouhh th let to charge up your device also if you have an older device it is upgraded to the newer model when you exchange it price is a bit higher than most auxiliary charge sources but you are paying for convenience which can be very important when traveling

I love how small and convenient it is. It comes with all the connectors for all type of phones. But the best part is exchanging it when the battery is drained for a new battery fully charged.

I saw these at an airport that has the exchange stations that allows customers to exchange their old one for a newly charged one. They give a fast charge to the phone or any device that needs it. I haven't needed to exchange one yet. They don't have too many locations unless you are traveling or in a major city area.

Having just made a trip to Disney World, I had seen some things about the Fuel Rods, and more generally about needing to have a backup battery for my phone. So, when they were on sale for about a third off the retail price, I bought a 2-pack to try them. (You can never have too many backup batteries.)For my trip I had an Anker 10,400 mAh battery in my backpack with a charging cable running to an outside pocket. Over 5 days, I took more than 700 photos, and used the Disney app to book rides and meals. Almost no texting or phone calls. It was a vacation after all. Social media posting is not my thing, but I suspect that would have used a lot more power (and wasted time).But I never had to recharge during the day. My 4-month old Pixel 6 Pro has a 5,000 mAh battery. Of course, if I had used the phone more and run the battery down I could plug it into my backup battery. (I always try to recharge when I get down to 15-20%.) And many smaller or older phones have much smaller batteries that would not make it through the day.So, would the Fuel Rods have been useful to me? First, they have a max capacity of 2,600 mAh. So, In theory, the two of them would charge my 5,000 mAh phone battery. Not really. When I got the batteries, I made sure they were fully charged (they were not when delivered). When my phone was down to 20%, I plugged in one of the Fuel Rods. In about 1.5 hours, the phone went from 20% to 52% before the Fuel Rod ran out of power. I then plugged in the second Fuel Rod. After about 1.5 hours, my phone had reached 85% when the Fuel Rod was fully discharged.Now 85% capacity is good, Even 50% is okay. It can get you by for a while - IF you are not constantly using the phone while charging. Phones with smaller capacities will get a higher percentage of charge simply because they are smaller. But they will not last as long either, requiring more frequent charging.It took about 3 hours to recharge each Fuel Rod to full capacity.Some would say that you can just swap out the discharged batteries for new ones at a kiosk at Disney World. From what I have read, it's not that simple any more. In a pinch, I would not want to be trying to find a kiosk to get a battery that may be charged, and may cost me at least a few dollars to exchange it.My Anker backup battery is slightly heavier (3 ounces) than the 2 Fuel Rods, but it is essentially the same size as the 2 Fuel Rods. In their plastic cases, the Fuel Rods are actually slightly larger than the Anker battery. AND, the Anker has about twice the capacity.In short, I believe other backup batteries, such as my Anker, are a better overall solution to being able to recharge your phone in an emergency.I will say the case with the Apple Lightning cable and a USB-C tip that fits over the USB-micro tip is very convenient.
