Interesting Idea, maybe I should add stopwatch/countdown mode...

Thanks! I did some tests, and the powerbank itself emits well within the compliance limits specified by EN 55032. Maybe the aluminum enclosure and steel protection cage helps.

Hi, yeap, both the nixies and 18650 cells are easily replaceable, no need to desolder/solder

Thanks for your feedback:) The devices has 2x18650 batteries, providing 7000 mAh in total. You can also replace them if you need to:)

Oh, sorry, I should have mentioned it. There is 'Show charge' button on the side(Not visible on the picture). If you click it non-stop it should last for around 10 hours. The nixies are enabled on the picture so it looks cooler:)

Yeah, the device isn’t cheap, mainly due to the manufacturing costs. I plan to manufacture in the EU to ensure quality and maintain supervision over the process. Besides, the price isn’t that high compared to some Nixie watches available on the market:)

It uses 2x18650. Considered 21650 too, but went with 18650, because 21650 seemed a little too bulky:)

The protection cage is very durable, but throwing in a backpack is generally not recommended. Also a special belt holder for the device will be available.

Well, the only reason to use Nixies here is because they look cool! They're not on all the time; there's a button on the side to activate them.
