Has me wondering if ever we'll reach a state where we just have battery packs like backpacks that we just wear as a daily habit, like putting a shirt on. It'll charge up overnight, then go in a sleeve that's machine washable (otherwise ew), and have a half dozen or so PD USB-C ports that we just tap into for phones, smart watches, laptops, etc
People definitely care battery chargers around and I've seen some that are integrated into backpacks already so it's kind of already started. I heard the chargeable backpacks are kinda meh though and you're pretty much better off just sticking some batteries in your pack.
I've had a backpack for years that has usb plugs for a battery pack sewn into it. It's been a thing for like a decade.
Longer I think
