Review: Coleman Twist+ 300 lantern (productReview)
When not in use, the lantern can be charged via a USB lead, which means you can recharge or top up the battery on car journeys. When fully charged, the leads can be stored in a compartment in the base of the lantern. The 3.7V lithium-ion battery provides up to nine hours of life when the maximum brightness setting is selected, but this will drop by up to a third if you start using the lantern to charge up electrical devices. -
Review: Tile Mate review (productReview)
Better yet, its thickness means it has a hole in the corner allowing it to be attached via a strap or a keychain, unlike the Slim which has to be inserted in a pocket or stuck on with optional mounts instead. In 2018, the battery system was upgraded to give the Mate, as well as the Pro, replaceable batteries. The replacement battery, which can be changed via a sliding door, means the reTile programme - which lets you return your old Tile and get a 40 per cent discount on a new one - is no more. -
Review: Nonda Zus smart car charger (productReview)
It's handy but nothing you couldn't do using the clock/alarm on your phone. The ZUS also acts as a car battery meter, and although we found that less useful, it will tell you if the performance of your car battery is failing. The app has several extra functions - like a tyre pressure monitor - but you have to pay for the hardware. -
Review: Dyson V10 Total Clean vacuum cleaner (productReview)
The battery sits at the bottom of the handle and can't be removed. And, to fully charge the V10, we had to leave it for three and a half hours, which wasn't ideal when we were trying to spend the morning cleaning before we had some friends over for a BBQ. -

When temperatures drop, not only are more cranking amps required to start our motor, but we also ask our batteries to work harder for heating, headlights etc. This DBPower jump pack is able to jump-start 12V vehicles ( up to 4.0-litre petrol or 2.5-litre diesel engines) in seconds with 400A peak current and 12000mAh battery capacity. -

Review: Michelin Fit2Go Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (productReview)
The sensors themselves have an IP67 waterproof rating - which means the unit can be dropped into water up to a meter deep for half an hour - and replacement sensors are available from Michelin too. Each TPMS sensor has a built-in battery projected to last three to five years, depending on vehicle use and applications, while an accelerometer in each sensor allows it to sleep when stationary for a period, only waking up once the journey starts – to maximise battery conservation. -
Review: Zenbre Z8Plus bluetooth speaker (productReview)
Listening to music at a high volume on Bluetooth is likely to shorten battery life to significantly less than the 20 hours it's advertised to last. Unfortunately, a few weeks after writing this review, the speaker packed up and refused to charge anymore - rendering it useless. -

Headphones of the Year shortlist (Article)
Bluetooth connectivity is another plus in our book, although things like touch-activated voice assistance seems a touch gimmicky. Battery life is very good, too, so if you're looking for substance over style then these are a great option. But, they really aren't comfortable for us, so we'd recommend trying some on before you buy if you can. -
Review: Philips DVT4010 VoiceTracer (productReview)
The microphones (usually the most vulnerable part of a dictaphone) are protected by two additional metal caps. The built-in battery is recharged via a supplied micro USB lead that also makes it easy to connect the unit to a computer so you can boost the battery and transfer audio files for transcription. With 8GB of built-in memory, it's unlikely that anyone will run out of storage with this device capable of recording 88 days of audio. -
