What is the Ridge Power Bank and why is it being promoted?
This episode of Distractable is brought to you by Ridge. They make lots of stuff, and I've owned lots of things made by Ridge over the years. But this one thing that Mark is holding in a very threatening manner and moving very aggressively. Oh, I don't like that.
I have infinite power in the palm of my hand!
This is the Ridge Power Bank. Five in one power bank with inf I can I say infinite? Is uh am I legally allowed to say infinite?
I don't know about that. Think an asker asterisk when you say the word infinite out loud, and I think that pretty much covers you.
And then it has exactly five ways that it can charge your devices. Wade, guess them. Wireless.
Wired photosynthesis. Blue Ray.
Did I get 'em right? Ah, that was only four. It can MagSafe charge, it can wirelessly charge anything that's not MagSafe, even your Apple Watch, it could charge that. It's got a USB cable, it's got a lightning cable for legacy support, and then it's got an extra USB in and out at the bottom, which is also where the display is, so you can see your battery.
Like the Swiss Army knife of charging for the longest time until this came out. I was always like, Man, why don't any of my power banks that I've had charge a watch? That was the big thing for me, right? Because you could you could plug your anything into a power bank and it'll charge your phone or whatever, it's fine. But this one will literally is the only thing you need to bring, which is sick. You don't need to bring your little watch dongle charger. You don't need to bring if you bring this with you. And like a a thing to plug it into the wall, it'll charge all your shit. Literally all of it.
That is so compact. We still have one of those old chargers that like is actually like holding a brick and you have to bring your own cable. So this thing is that small and has two wires in it.
How do the hosts introduce the episode and set the tone for a ‘sad‑but‑hopeful’ discussion?
Yeah, it the reason it is, and this is getting into the technical parameters of it, is most every power bank that you can get off the shelf has those panasonic cylindrical cells, and they're made up of those. This actually has their own designed flat like like you see in phones and laptops, they have flat pack uh lithium batteries in here. That's why it's it's designed specifically to be, you know, compact and better.
I'm glad you two were in on this ad and I was not because I think it worked and I'm gonna go buy one because that's so depressed compared to what I use. What the heck?
It's my favorite power bank I've ever owned. Uh Mark and I are both huge tech guys and I it's like the only thing you need. It's crazy.
Oh, it's got a kickstand too.
Yeah, it so it attaches to the back of your phone if your phone has mag safe. So it literally you can use it to like sit your phone up to watch a thing while it charge it. It does everything.
That beats this thing I've been carrying around everywhere.
I honestly even use mine around the house because like we have phone chargers around, but sometimes you're in that one spot on the couch where it's like, well not none of the phone chargers reach over here or whatever. Power bank, don't matter.
And it's built by Ridge, which means that it comes with free shipping, 99-day risk-free trial, and a lifetime warranty. When's the last time you saw a lifetime warranty on anything? Whose lifetime? Like ours? It's lifetime.
As long as it's alive, you have a warranty on it. Don't worry, everybody. It's definitely longer than Wade's lifetime. Oh. I'm going to Ridge.com right now. One thing to pack: five ways to power.
