Keeping devices fully charged on the go: It can be challenging.
But with this week’s featured gadget, as long as you have a 12V “lighter” socket available, you can keep that battery indicator pegged at 100%. Clean, simple, and compact, this mobile USB charger gets the job done, and done well – for less than five bucks.
Which means you can afford to keep one in each car, in the RV, in the boat, the corporate jet, the private ‘copter, or ‘off the grid’ in that solar-powered survivalist cabin nobody knows about. (Until now.)
Normally, we sell these for $19.99. For one-quarter that price, you can give this USB charger a good home – for the next week, anyway, and as long as our supply lasts.
So don’t miss out. Head on down and pick up one or more of these handy doodads. To find out more about our Deal of the Week, click here.

We know, we know. You already have way too many remotes.
Probably a whole drawer full. Or maybe yours bedeck the entire top surface of the coffee table. We get it, because these days, pretty much everyone has a lot of remotes.
But this week, you may want to make room for just one more. Because this one lets you control two different lights, tools, appliances – anything you can plug into a standard outlet. And control them from up to 100 feet away. Use it to activate lights on the front porch of your home, from your car. Or to turn on the heating pad in the doghouse. Fire up the coffeemaker before you even climb out of bed. Use it anywhere you wish you’d installed a switch, in seconds.
And setup could not be simpler:
- Plug each controller into an AC outlet.
- Plug whatever you want to control into their outlets.
- Done.
These two-packs are normally 30 bucks, but this week only you can pick them up for just $12.99. Find out more about our latest Deal of the Week here.

As the ancient proverb goes: It is better to plug a single LED light into a USB port than to curse the darkness.
Stop cursing that darkness already. Next time you find yourself on the red-eye in need of better illumination for your workspace than that which the puny overhead airline light can provide, this is your solution.
Five well-directed LEDs flood your tray table and notebook with pleasing white light – without waking passengers on either side. You can also use it at your desk, when wanting low-key, indirect lighting while you’re gaming or the like. And if you need to re-connect cables in the back of your desktop PC, slip this light into one of the USB ports on it case – and bam! All the light you need to see what you’re doing back there. To summarize: Its flexible eight-inch stalk offers precise directing of light where you need it, when you need it.
You don’t have to worry about batteries, AC adapters, or electrical outlets. Find an open USB port, and you are in business. For less than 10 bucks, it’ll be hard to find a more useful, affordable, portable light. But that’s all we’re charging for this week’s DOTW.

Open the junk drawer in your kitchen.
Go ahead – we’ll wait. We brought a magazine.
(If you’re reading this in your car – well, first, we hope you’re not actually driving, because whoa, dangerous. If you’re safely parked, pop open the glovebox.)
Chances are, you’ll find something in there that runs on batteries. And nine times out of 10, those batteries are AA alkalines. So many things run on AA’s: Flashlights, handheld devices, remotes, every children’s toy known to man – you name it. You’re always needing a fresh set of batteries. And now you can stock up, cheaply and reliably.
Because this week’s DOTW offers brand-name Maxell AA alkaline battery four packs for a low, low 99 cents (they normally sell for four bucks).

It’s a smudgy, smeary, grimy kind of world out there.
No, this isn’t a voiceover for a lost episode of “Law & Order: Cybercrime.” Instead, we’re talking about the myriad ways your smartphone, iPhone, iPad, iMac, computer monitor, and TV can have their beautiful color images refracted through… stuff.
This travel-size kit is intended to remove the bad stuff, so you can see all the good stuff. It comes with a compact-size spray pump of apple-scented, non-toxic, totally green appleJuce cleaning fluid, attached to a cloth to complete the cleaning process.
Since we’re selling the travel-size kit as our DOTW for a ridiculously low 99 cents (it normally sells for three bucks), you can toss one in your travel bag, your notebook carrying case, your car, and your desk drawer. And you’ll no longer have any excuse for dirty screens – and the surfaces of all your electronics. Yes, that’s right: It also works perfectly to clean your notebook or desktop all over.
