I'm always shocked by how unimaginative this tech-centric community acts. OK, so this version is silly for YOU. Are you the whole world? Are you the future? Stuff like this is typically a bulky demo unit in need of further development. Fringe case devices are also that - fringe case solutions. This isn't for the person sitting at home with a dormant phone. This probably has an application in medical and scientific fields where mobility is critical, staying in one device is necessary, avoiding a tangled external battery pack is preferred, and automation prevent human error like not plugging in the dead pack fully kor at all). Could have larger applications for swapping vehicle batteries, as well.
So don't buy it.
Aren't battery packs really bad for your phone tho? Keeping it at 100% constantly until it runs out
The article says the app can be used to limit your charging to 80%.
Still pretty batshit. Swapping external batteries yourself would be too hard?
