Episode 4385
Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Daniel wants to charge his phone, power bank, and flashlight right on his ToughBuilt tool belt with a single cable to the wall. But multi-port chargers can't deliver the exact voltage each device needs. We explore why USB-C Power Delivery makes this tricky, the risks of trigger boards, and whether a DIY solution with programmable PD controllers is actually practical. Plus: the dock vs. belt-worn tradeoff and how PPS changes the game.
