    Whoohooo, that is awesome mannyg84. I suppose if you start your trip with a decent charge on your phone then "all" the battery/charger has to do is keep the phone topped off. Might not need to recharge the battery pack often then. I like it. Now all you need to do is figure out how to plug the battery pack into USB in a stealth way so that it remains fully charged.

    This is genius, thanks for sharing. I wonder if Velcro would work too? FYI for anyone else ordering it’s on sale for 50% off on Verizon with code HOL22SALE

    The car's wireless charger is charging the battery pack. No need to hide any USB

    I got mine today from Verizon and the Velcro I have was too thick but I used 3M clear adhesive tape and it works great, thanks for the tip @mannyg84!

    I am going to try some thinner Velcro and if it works I will let y’all know.
