> Insanely easy to believe. The role of UPS is to prevent data loss when power fails. If something is powered by USB-C it almost always already have its own battery preventing from that.

That's a moot point though, IMO. Like if you're travelling, wouldn't it be nice if your charger and your battery bank were the same device? Just because it doesn't have the same specific utility as a UPS, doesn't mean that it's not useful in other ways.

There’s a lot of these devices. “Wall plug power bank” worked as good keywords for me on Amazon.

These could still be different in operation than a UPS though


I tried this it does provide power like a ups but it cuts out for a moment and restarts the device.


ZMI Plugornot did the same thing
