Costco Run: DURACELL POWERBLOCK 500

I was at Costco and found this DURACELL PowerBlock 500. There are other similar sized 500Wh power stations online ( https://amzn.to/3EKdEQL ). This is the first time I seen a Duracell Power Block 500 in a Li-Ion format, as this one compact and only 10.6 lbs in weight. Before the Duracell PowerSource 660 ( https://amzn.to/3k7lZVm ) was sealed lead acid batteries and it was much heavier and larger.

DURACELL PowerBlock 500 also has 110v/500W pure sine inverters with 3 outlets, USB A and C charging and a 12v power out. I got and reviewed a Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) in the past with a 240Wh Backup Lithium Battery power station with 110V/200W Pure Sine Wave AC inverter Outlet Solar Generator. This battery allows me to play my Xbox One S console game while traveling for up to 3.5 hours. I expect this Duracell 500 unit should last me about 6 hours or so.
In the video I got images of the stats for comparison and detailing.

Portable External Travel Monitors ( https://amzn.to/3oPRlmI )

I travel and work remotely almost every day. I have 3 different external monitors ready for my laptop, smart phone, and Xbox, depending on location of work. These are all 1080P IPS Full HD external monitors with USB C and HDMI inputs and work with Windows, iOS, and Android USBC devices and my Xbox game console.

They have have stands and a protective cover. They are all very light weight and are powered by USB C external power 5 volts (under 3A) and can be powered by an external power bank. I do not like having a battery built into the screen as batteries don’t travel well on with air travel, and the lifespan of the rechargeable batteries are limited.

I use my NIUTO to Portable Touch Monitor 14 inch ( https://amzn.to/3mETz5U ) if I need touch screen. This is my primary monitor when traveling and using Samsung DEX on my Samsung Note 20 Ultra ( https://amzn.to/3Dq7xPK ). There is a USB C and USB A port for connecting a use hub for to make this my portable work station from a powerful smart phone. This follows me with my backpack.

I use my Kogoda 13.3 Inch External Monitor ( https://amzn.to/3iLEpuA ) primarily in my car while working on my laptop or playing Xbox or Nintendo switch on the road. It does not have touchscreen, however the small size, bright screen, and durable 1080P screen is all I need. This either stays in the car on a iPad holder or tucked away under the car seat or trunk storage.

I use my 15 inch large 15.6″ IPS HDR 1920X1080 FHD ( https://amzn.to/3Duzgic ) when I travel with my for video editing or with my large 17 inch gaming laptop. It adds lots of desk real estate and matches the size of my larger laptop for extended work sessions. Normally this travels with the laptop in a large roller suit case luggage.

Overall all three of these external monitors are very useful for my daily commute or a road trip in the car and have their purpose.

REVIEW: KOGODA 13.3 Inch Portable Monitor – USB-C and HDMI

If you need more desktop space with traveling, and dont want to haul a large monitor then this video is for you. I am reviewing a KOGODA 13.3 inch 1080P Monitor with USB C and HDMI ( https://amzn.to/3kakZAG ) for my travels and remote working. This is also good for in car entertainment. There are larger sizes displays ini 15 and 16 inches ( https://amzn.to/3lmzKj1 ) however I prefer the 13 is a good compact size can be placed in my laptop bag with my laptop as an external monitor when traveling.

The 13.3 Inch External Monitor is an IPS Full HD 1080P external laptop monitor. It has USB C inputs for late model smart phones and laptops to use as an external monitor. It has a mini HDMI input. Connection is fast and easy and starts up in less a few seconds. Simply connect the USB power and one of the signal cables.

Its powered by USB C 5 volt at 1.5 – 2A. It comes with a wall power supply, but many USB chargers can output 2A now and so can my car’s built in USB charge port. Getting a 12v socket charge port is easy I use a Anker car charger ( https://amzn.to/3CaPkVS ).

It comes with a plastic cover and fold out stand. The cover is held by magnets so you may want to be careful when handling magnetic hard drives, credit cards, and other sensitive items.

I normally work in my car with my laptop or smart phone so if you are planning to use a bigger screen this is also helpful. You can of course watch movies with this display. It is bright enough to use when the car is parked in the shade or in the sun.

You can use it with your smart phone, laptop, or portable video game system with USB-C output or such as Xbox, or with HDMI out. It is extremely compact so you can take it with you as you travel!

Overall it has been a great addition to my mobile work space with my smart phone and laptop. It is also a very good entertainment while parked for watching movies or playing video games on a larger display. I just set it on my dash board and play a movie while waiting an hour for my car to charge or when waiting in the car. It doesnt require taking apart the car or voiding any warranties. It also uses very little energy so it doesnt impact my car battery much.
