Travel Tech Essentials: How to Keep Your Devices Charged This Holiday Season
Dec 17, 2025
The holiday season is officially here. The gifts are wrapped (mostly), the bags are packed, and you are ready to head out to see friends and family.
But whether you are facing a long-haul flight or a cross-country road trip, there is one thing that can derail your journey faster than a snowstorm: a dead battery.
Your phone is your boarding pass, your GPS, your entertainment, and your connection to home. Keeping it powered up isn't just convenient; it's essential.
Here is your checklist for staying fully charged and connected while traveling this December.
1. The Road Trip Savior: High-Speed Car Chargers
If you are driving home for the holidays, that old USB-A adapter from 2018 isn't going to cut it. Modern phones, especially the iPhone 15/16 and Samsung Galaxy S24, require higher wattage to charge efficiently while running GPS apps.
We recommend upgrading to a dual-port PD (Power Delivery) Car Charger. Here is why:
- Speed: It can charge your phone up to 50% in just 30 minutes.
- Multi-device: The passenger can charge their tablet while you charge your phone.
- Reliability: It prevents your battery from draining even while using power-hungry maps.
2. The Airport Essential: MagSafe Compatible Power Banks
Airport terminals are notorious for two things: expensive coffee and a lack of available outlets. You don't want to be tethered to a wall near the bathroom just to get enough juice to call your Uber.
For iPhone users, a MagSafe Compatible Power Bank is a game changer. It snaps magnetically to the back of your phone, eliminating the need to fumble with tangled cables in your carry-on bag.
Tech Tip: Look for a power bank with at least 5,000mAh capacity to ensure you get a full charge.
3. Pack Light with GaN Wall Chargers
Are you still packing a separate charging brick for your phone, your tablet, and your laptop? That takes up valuable suitcase space.
GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology allows chargers to be smaller, cooler, and faster. A single 65W or 100W GaN charger can often power your laptop and your phone simultaneously.
One brick. One outlet. All your devices charged.
4. The "Hotel Room" Cable Strategy
We have all been there: you get to your hotel room or your relative's guest room, and the only outlet is hidden behind the nightstand, far away from the bed.
Standard 1-meter cables often fall short. For travel, we highly recommend packing a 2-meter (6ft) or 3-meter (10ft) Braided Cable.
- Reach: Use your phone comfortably in bed while it charges.
- Durability: Braided nylon withstands being shoved into backpacks without fraying.
