You Can Buy FuelRods at a Huge Discount During Amazon Prime Day


Amazon Prime Day It’s that time of year again, and it’s a great time to hunt for discounts on things you’ll use throughout the year.

Sure, buying big-ticket items like luggage and tech gadgets is a great idea, but you don’t want to overlook small, easily forgotten items like FuelRods portable chargers. If you planning a trip to Disney World or Disneyland (or many other places where you can easily change them, including airports), you might want to buy a FuelRod.

FuelRods certainly aren’t the best external power source, but they’re compact and really easy to use in places where you can swap them for free, like Disney.

FuelRods cost $30 each in the park, but right now you can get a two-pack for $27.99 thanks to Amazon Prime Day. Paying around $14 each (instead of $30 each in the park) isn’t exactly a bargain.

While you can redeem FuelRods for free at machines throughout the Disney parks, they cost $3 at Universal Studios. That makes them a little less appealing to use there. Still, it’s a better deal to buy FuelRods at the lower price up front than to pay the $30 in-park fee if you think you’ll use them during your vacation.
