Who else gets a little bit of anxiety when their phone battery gets low? I know I’m not the only one, especially when we’re travelling in our teardrop trailer and the phone keeps us headed in the right direction or is the only way to call for help if we’re in trouble. I do have a battery pack (read our recent review about the INIU P63 100W laptop charger here) but I like to have something a bit smaller so when INIU asked us to review the INIU SnapGo Air P781 Power Bank, my little eyes lit right up.

Testing
This is where things got fun. I have an older iPhone 11 which is not compatible with the wireless charging so I had to test using the standard cable. The speed with which it charged was impressive and similar to what I would have gotten from a wall plug.
Where my mind was blown was with the wireless charging using an iPhone 17 I was able to borrow. Holy moly I did NOT expect wireless charging to be so fast!
So I really put it to the test by trying to charge three phones at once: an iPhone 17 using the wireless charge, and a Samsung and iPhone using the USB-C ports. That was too much for the 45W charger to handle. It may have still been charging the phones, but it was so small a draw that it didn’t even register enough to cue the charging icon on any of them.
It did get a little warm but nothing that felt uncomfortable or like it was a fire risk.
This cell phone charging pack is small and has a wonderful textural feel to it, like a river-smoothed rock.
The wireless charging is insanely fast for someone who has never used wireless charging before and even wired charging is quick.
The USB-C cable and lanyard design is a great feature of the INIU battery packs and makes it easy to keep track of charging cables.
What Could be Improved
You may need to pop the phone out of more robust cases to use the wireless charging feature. The iPhone I used for testing was in an Otterbox and it had to be removed to charge.
The display screen is really small, as it is next to the ports on the top of the phone charger which may make it difficult to view if someone’s eyes are not as good as they used to be.
Is not being able to charge three phones a factor? For me it’s not but if you’re travelling with multiple people who have phones that need to charge at the same time, it may mean a bit of juggling.
Whats The Verdict?
I absolutely love this power bank for cell phones, especially if I get to update my phone to a newer model so I can take advantage of the magnetic wireless charging feature. I can already see it tucked into the mesh pockets over the doors of the teardrop while we sleep so I’ll have a fresh battery in the morning for recording all of our antics.
Of all the parks we have had the opportunity to explore over the years, Lake Superior Provincial Park in Ontario has got to be one of my favourites. There’s just something about Lake Superior that appeals to me; from the wide-open waters to the towering rock, I just love this place. Lake Superior comes by
Even though we often go on vacation to get away from everything (especially technology), that does not mean that you can take a break from internet safety while travelling. Cyber security for solo female travellers is especially important as more women venture out on their own (as they should not be afraid to do). Cyber
With the uncertain state of affairs in Ontario, I did not get my hopes up about going camping when my next vacation rolled around. I thought that the chances of getting any campsites were slim to none. Luckily I was was wrong. Once I saw that sites were available in Lake Superior Provincial Park, I

So there I was, diligently working on my computer (which means I was online shopping for stuff I don’t need) when my phone rang. “We have a beagle-pug puppy that needs a home.” What? I’m on my way. And that my friends (in summary) was how I came to meet Lilly. I drove to her
