In keeping with Rolling Sq., Tau is the smallest energy financial institution on this planet. I am unable to affirm this, nevertheless it actually is small and lightweight, and it is no larger than a automobile key fob.
The 1400mAh battery is not going to be sufficient to completely cost a contemporary smartphone, and the 1A charging energy is not going to be quick, however it would get you out of a low battery jam, for positive.
On the underside of the important thing fob is a magnetic charging port that hooks in with the dock. The dock itself may be hooked up to a wall utilizing the offered screws of a nano suction pad.
On the opposite finish are the 2 charging cables, one for USB-C, the opposite for Lightning and microUSB.

Tau is all the things I anticipate from Rolling Sq. — a top quality product that truly solves an actual drawback. A tiny energy financial institution disguised as a key fob and a well-mounted charging dock turns this from what may be thought-about a gimmick into a useful gizmo.
That is excellent for individuals who neglect the place they’ve put their keys and run out of the home within the morning with a smartphone that is nearly useless.
