How many years have you shaved off your life from the stress of losing your keys or having your phone die on you at the worst possible time? If those things happen to you often, get it together. Or, you can look into the CoalBit. It’s a tiny keychain gadget that packs a power bank, Bluetooth tracker, and mini flashlight into what looks like a lump of coal from the future (but way more useful). While its 560 mAh capacity isn’t exactly a full tank, it’s enough to bring a dead phone back to life in a pinch. The CoalBit also houses an integrated micro USB or Lightning cable and an LED battery indicator that doubles as a mini flashlight. Lastly, its Bluetooth locator capability syncs with your phone so you can keep tabs on both devices. The CoalBit project is still seeking funds on Kickstarter, so back it at the link below to turn this diamond in the rough into your next keychain staple.
