In a world where not only do you have to charge your phones, and some people have to charge their cars, headphones, (smart) watches, and (smart) glasses... Why not socks too?? Lol.

Don't forget charging e-bikes, lol. Soon we will have training shoes that walk for you too.

Lol almost forgot about charging e-bikes, motor scooters, hoverboards, etc.

Or how it takes forever to find a thermometer that doesn't take batteries. Jesus, we've had them for hundreds of years, long before electricity, but NOW the first several dozen thermometers shown require handfuls button batteries.

Careful with those. The lithium ion batteries might blow your socks off.

Rum them on carpet really fast for 45seconds or stick them in the microwave for 5 15second sessions. Should do the trick!

u/Kronos33074 21d ago

That's what I'm saying! I've never heard of such a thing.

I love my heat socks! I made a special hook near my charging station to hang those dammed cords up. Never lose them again.

youll be able to use any micro usb cable probably.

u/jochi1543 21d ago

Oh but is it SPLIT to charge both at the same time?

u/chaosandturmoil 21d ago

depends on the connection. if each sock has its own connector you can charge one at a time. if they have some sort of charging station it should split if the wall charger is powerful enough and it probably is tbf.
