If you’ve been a visitor here for a while, you might remember Volta. They released the first version of their top-handle power bank in November 2019, but it wasn’t perfect. The idea was great.

It comes with a rather cool new charging “SnapCharger” station that doubles up as a V-Mount battery. It’s also stackable, letting you charge up to 8 batteries at once.
