Re: Accessible Portable Power Bank
I guess my power bank's an antique! Four years ago, The Harbolt Company briefly carried a power bank that beeped or vibrated to indicate battery levels. I got one of them, and it still works. Unfortunately, the company that made them wanted too much money. So Brent Harbold was forced to discontinue carrying them. To my knowledge, no other such accessible "juicebox" has ever been made. I guess that when I no longer have this one, I'll have to rely on sighted help or just guess when it's time to charge the box. Peace & Blessings, Pastor Duane L.

RE: Accessible Portable Power Bank
I know there used to be one, I think it was called Summit or something, which could speak how much charge was left, but for thew most part there isn't much to be accessible on an external battery apart from that. I really don't worry too much about it, if I use it to charge my phone a couple of times I plug it in and charge it and I guess you could always call Aira or Be My Eyes to get them to check how many LED's are on or, if it's a fancier model with an LCD screen to read that; Seeing AI may even be able to help there if it can scan what's on the screen. Anyways, most models just have 3 or 4 LED's which indicate how much charge is left.
