Tips and Tricks

Remember what features of your future smartphone you paid attention to before buying it: type of operating system, screen resolution, camera. A whole list and not the last place of which was occupied by the capacity of the battery—in other words, how quickly your smartphone “will turn into a pumpkin,” at midnight or after six to seven hours of work. Yes, modern touchscreen phones are not the same as before. They work for a much longer time, but the struggle for battery life continues.

But you know, anything can happen.

You are going on a journey, and you will be away for a long time, or you wander around the city without a car all day, or maybe electricity is rare where you are. Yes, anything can happen, but “the battery in the smartphone died” is not an excuse!

Of course, you can go into the settings, disable a bunch of functions, and carve out another hour or two of work. But did you buy an expensive smartphone to turn it into a Nokia 2110?

The solution is the Power Bank.

What is Power Bank?

The Power Bank is an energy bank. That is an array of batteries assembled in one case. If you simplify it completely, then Power Bank is an electric socket in your pocket.

What is Power Bank made for?

The case of the external charger has a universal output (USB) and an input (most often micro USB). That means that with Power Bank you can charge everything that is connected via USB, starting from smartphones, tablets, and navigators ending with consoles.

On the market today there is a massive selection of Power Banks of different companies, capacities, designs, sizes, reliability. How to choose what you need for you? Also, some useful information about Power Banks you can find here WikiHow: 3 Ways to Choose a Power Bank.

How to choose Power Bank?

Just like before buying something, first ask yourself: “Why do I need Power Bank?”

  • If you are going on a long journey and you wouldn't see an electric socket for several days, then you should look at capacious batteries from 15,000 mAh to 20,000 mAh.
  • And perhaps you are wandering around the city all day, showing presentations from a tablet, have a million calls, and you don’t have time to sit in a cafe recharging your gadget. In this case, you need a more powerful Power Bank.
  • But not only power is worth paying attention to. Also, an important difference between external batteries is the number of USB outputs. Agree, there is a difference—either you charge one smartphone, or you charge both a smartphone and a tablet. And each of the gadgets is imbued with the energy of the force that is recommended to them. You should choose a different model that is capable of that.
  • You should also pay attention to the presence of a LED-flashlight. This nice bonus can be very useful to you. It is not just a flashlight, but a flashlight on powerful batteries, which means it will work for a long time.
  • The size and weight of a bank is proportional to its capacity. The larger the capacity of the batteries installed in the bank, the bigger its weight and size. Also, the type of batteries installed in it affects the weight and size of the bank, the lithium-ion battery will be slightly larger and slightly heavier than the lithium-polymer battery of similar capacity.
  • You should also consider the compliance of the declared capacity and weight of this device. That means that a Power Bank with a capacity of about 10,000 mAh will weigh 200-260g. And twice as bigger (20000mAh), respectively, will be about twice as heavy. So if the capacity that indicated on Power Bank is not corresponding to the weight - you should not buy it.
