You can get FuelRods at a big discount during Amazon Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is here again, so it’s a great time to snag a discount on things that you’ll use throughout the year.

Sure, it’s a good idea to purchase big-ticket items like luggage and tech, but you don’t want to overlook small, easy-to-forget items like FuelRods portable chargers. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World or Disneyland (or a variety of other spots where it’s easy to swap them out, including airports), you might want to snag a FuelRod.

FuelRods are certainly not the best external power sources out there, but they are compact and really easy to use in places where you can swap them for free, like Disney.

In the parks, FuelRods are $30 each, but right now, you can get a pack of two for $27.99 thanks to the Amazon Prime Day sale. Paying about $14 for each (instead of $30 each in the park) is not a bad deal at all.

FuelRods come in very handy when visiting theme parks — you’ll need a power source to recharge your phone, check ride wait times, order food and book your Lightning Lanes. There are tons of power banks on the market you can buy and bring, but while at Disney, a FuelRod is an easy solution that doesn’t require much preparation or add extra weight to carry around.

You can exchange these pocket-size battery boosters at machines all around the parks. Once you buy a FuelRod, you can exchange it for free at Disney as often as you wish. Drop your drained one in the machine, and a fully charged one ready to go will pop out.

Each FuelRod usually provides a few hours of charging time. So, a pack of two is perfect for buying and tossing in your bag as a backup option, just in case you forget to bring a more robust external battery, or if it runs out of juice.

While it’s free to exchange your FuelRods at the machines located throughout the Disney parks, it’ll cost you $3 at Universal Studios. That makes them slightly less attractive to use there. However, it’s still a better deal to buy the FuelRods for less in advance than pay the in-park, $30 fee if you think you’ll be using them during your vacation.
