AUKEY Cable Review

More and more of the newest flagship Android cell phones are utilizing AUKEY Cable standard. And now the accessory manufacturers are now starting to catchup and making 3rd party adapters that now can quickly charge our phones. We all have a few spare charges...one for the house, one for the office, and one for traveling.

Aukey just released their Qualcomm 2.0 compatible quick charger. It is a super solid device. Well made, and aesthetically pleasing. It comes packed with the following specs: Qualcomm® Quick Charge 2.0 Technology. 5V/2.1A, 9V/1.8A, 12V/1.35A

UL Certified. This charger easily charged my device in about an hour from 1/4 power.

You *NEED* to make sure you are using a quality USB calbe with this!!! I used a "thin" USB cable, and I could not get my Note4 to register that it was charging with an "Adaptive Charging Device". When I switch to one

I used one of the Aukey supplied 3.9ft MicroUSB cable with the Quick Charger, and my phone loved it! The adaptive charging kicked in, and juiced right up.

Aukey sent me one of their 3 pack of Micro USB charging/sync cables. and I love them. You seriously can never have too many USB cables... and I right? These are really well made, and come with an 18 month warranty. So you can't lose.

Specs on these cables are: 480-Mbps transmission speed, error-free data transmission, and fast charging speed.

All Android phones are quickly making the switch to the fully reversible USB C standard. Not only is USB C reversible, but it can transfer data faster and more power than its predecessor, micro USB. Having manufacturers switch to USB C is a great thing, however you’re stuck replacing all of those cables. At your office, in your car or spares in your home, you simply need more cables.

Early in the development of USB C you saw quite a few faulty accessories that lead to damaged laptops and smartphones. Third-party manufacturers rushed to release charging cables, plugs and portable batteries in hopes of grabbing market share. While there are very few faulty cables, there’s some brands that are just worth sticking with. One of those brands is Aukey. It has been making accessories for several years, and is a major presence on Amazon.com. Wireless headphones and speakers, chargers, batteries, cables, cameras, mounts and other accessories from Aukey all come with high user review ratings. It’s a brand many savvy shoppers choose to go with instead of paying double or triple from OEM manufacturers. It’s also a brand I turn to for my use as well.

4 Business Ideas for Stay-at-Home Parents

College Application/Financial Aid Planning Consulting BusinessA financial aid planner helps parents get the lowest possible price for their child's college education, thus saving them money. Tapping into financial aid resources is not just about being smart. It is about being aware of the resources that are available. This business involves advising parents and high school students on selecting a college, filling out the application and financial aid forms, providing tips for writing the college essay, advising parents about tax implications on college savings plans, and negotiating the best possible financial aid package when a college offer is received. A sound knowledge about higher education institutions and a thorough understanding of financial aid options are important. Market your services in high schools, libraries, private tutorial centers and universities.
Consignment ShopTalking about wearing "pre-owned" clothing has never been a popular coffee table discussion. Times may be changing, though. Recycled clothes are back. The recession has led consumers to save their bucks by buying "gently used" items. As a consignment shop owner, you don't pay anything for your inventory until it is sold, which makes this business ideal for the startup entrepreneur. Take clean, well-cared-for items and display and merchandise them online or at a physical location for the owners, splitting the profits when you make a sale. Many times, the profit split is either 50/50 or 60/40, with the higher percentage going to the consignment shops.
