We can always charge our smartphones at home, in our car, or in our workplaces. Sometimes we may even ask if we can charge when our phones are ready to go dead wherever we are, in the restaurant or other public places. It can really be so disappointing to have you smartphone out of battery when you are expecting an important call. This is one of the reasons to buy a quality power bank.

With a power bank, you will never again experience battery shortage with your mobile phone as you can carry it everywhere. It is portable so you can insert it in your bag so you can charge when the need arises. This small wonder are especially recommended for those who travel a lot or those who work outdoors.

The batteries of our mobiles may last for a day, but it can drain faster with constant use or when you use it for gaming, listening to music, or other things. You should also have a power bank when you go out on a picnic outdoors. You can be sure that you are connected to family and friends while away in the woods or any remote area.

When choosing a power bank, always check out the following. You will never go wrong with choice if you do so.

Charging Capacity

You should always pay attention to the power bank’s charging capacity. It is measured in milliampere (mAh). The higher the milliampere, the more it can charge your cellphone. Mobile phones usually can be charged at 2,500 mAh. So if you buy a power bank with 10,000 mAh, then, you can fully charge your smartphone four times.

Tablets and laptops can also be charged using power banks. A 10,000 mAh may be able to charge them but can de drained faster as these devices need more milliamperes before they get fully charged.

Portability

The smaller a power bank is, its charging capacity also is lower. The more portable models may be suitable for those who still go home after work or those working inside buildings. These models are easy to carry everywhere you go.

The bigger-sized power banks have more charging capacity and may be more suited for a weekend picnic in the great outdoors with you family or friends. It can power all your mobiles without fail.

Charging Input and Output

The charging output of a power bank determines how fast your mobile phone or any device for that matter to be charged using the power bank. The charging input is how fast the power bank will recharge. In both cases, the higher the milliampere, the faster the charging will be.

For safety, you should also check on certifications from consumer safety organizations and check for overcharge, and overheating protection. It may be best to go for known brands.
