The numbers for Nintendo’s Pokémon Go app have been nothing short of phenomenal. Your smartphone’s battery life, on the other hand, is taking the beating of its lifetime. That’s because Nintendo’s record-breaking app is a power-hungry monster that not only relies on augmented reality and your phone’s GPS, but also requires that your smartphone’s screen — one of the biggest battery drainers — remain on the entire time.

If you want to catch ’em all without having to desperately look for the nearest wall outlet, our DT Shop currently offers the LinearFlux PokeCharger Portable Battery for $40, a savings of $40.

This pocket-sized battery was built for Pokémon trainers who spend most of their time patrolling neighborhoods in search of new Pokémon. Designed to look like a rectangular version of the tri-colored PokéBalls used in the game, it features an LED battery indicator, which displays the battery’s charging process.

More importantly, the LinearFlux PokeCharger uses the company’s 3.0 Amp HyperCharging technology, which provides the maximum amount of power — up to 3 amps — that your iPhone can handle. (It works with iPhone models 5 and up.)

According to LinearFlux, that means the 3,300mAh battery inside the PokeCharger can revive your iPhone at twice the speed of a traditional wall charger (though we can’t verify that). Moreover, it includes a built-in Lightning cable that conveniently tucks into the device when not in use, so you don’t have to worry about carrying one when you’re out hunting Pokémon.

Not an iPhone user? The PokeCharger also houses a USB type-A port that lets you charge Android smartphones, an Apple Watch, or any other USB-connected gadgets. (You’ll need to provide your own cable).

The LinearFlux PokeCharger Portable Battery is currently $40 off and includes free shipping across the continental United States. It can’t guarantee you’ll catch ’em all, but it can guarantee that your next Pokémon expedition will last much longer.

iPhone SE 2nd Gen deals

The second generation of the iPhone SE was initially launched in 2020, but it still manages to keep up with the needs of many phone users today. It utilizes the body of the Apple iPhone 8, which means it will have a home button and fingerprint ID instead of the Face ID technology in current iPhone models. That’s not much to give up, however, as the second generation iPhone SE still has a great display, a 12-megapixel camera with the ability to shoot 4K video, and wireless charging capability.

htc vive vs pro headphones

While VR may not be as big as was predicted back in the early 2000s when the original Oculus Go was released, there is still a considerable market these days, and some great VR games like Half-Life: Alyx that you can have fun with. Of course, VR headsets remain expensive, and while options like the Meta Quest don't necessarily require a high-end gaming PC, they can still be a bit pricey for those who just want to put a foot in the hobby. Luckily, there are some good deals you can take advantage of, even on some of the best VR headsets, so be sure to check out all your options below.
Meta Quest 2 -- $199, was $200

Even though the Meta Quest 3 came out quite recently, the Meta Quest 2 is still a pretty powerful contender, especially since it has a wider library and app support than the Quest 3 currently has. Even more so, the Quest 2 is a lot cheaper than the Quest 3, and with the latest permanent discount down to just $200, that's a whole $300 or so difference from the Quest 3. Of course, the Quest 3 does have more advanced AR and slightly better performance with software and Wi-Fi, but that may not be worth the extra cost for some. Either way, be sure to check out the breakdown between Quest 2 and Quest 3 to get a better sense of what you should pick up.

Razer - Iskur Gaming Chair.

Sitting down to play video games for hours and hours can be a lot of fun, but it can also be pretty bad for your health. Beyond just the lack of circulation, most modern chairs are not really made to have us sit in them for long periods, and so they don't offer things like lumbar support or breath to help keep us cool. Luckily, gaming chairs have come to the rescue, and if you're looking to at least help keep your body safe and healthy, going for a gaming chair can make a big difference. That said, gaming chairs can be quite expensive, which is why we've gone out and found some of our favorite gaming chair deals for you to pick from.
