Power Bank buying guide

No matter how much technology has improved over time, the battery has not yet been born to keep customers satisfied with smartphone battery backups. The need to use the phone is more in places where there is no charge system when traveling or traveling.

The power bank has been invented to solve this problem of charging the phone from time to time. It is basically a battery pack made up of some rechargeable batteries, which can be charged in advance and then charged from the accumulated charge to the battery of the mobile. There are many types of power banks available in the market at present. But which one should you buy? In this post, we will see how to buy the right power bank.

If you want to buy the right power bank, you have to keep the following things in mind.

1. Capacity, price

When buying a power bank, the most important thing is to pay attention to its capacity or charge capacity. You need a power bank with a capacity of at least 10,000 mAh to get a good experience. But since there is no end to the 'good', you can also take a 20,000 mAh (or more) power bank if you want.

If the battery of your phone is 3000 mAh, then your phone can be fully charged at least 3 times by a 10 thousand mAh power bank. The price of a 20,000 mAh mobile power bank is around 80$ to 90$. To adjust between your budget and needs.

2. Time required to take and give charge

Exactly how long a power bank will take to take full charge depends on its own capacity and the capacity of the charger. However, on average, power banks take two and a half to four and a half hours. Usually, power bank charges are made with the charger of the mobile phone. 

Mobile chargers output at a rate of 5 volts and 2 amperes. With such a charger, take at least 4.5 hours to charge the 10,000 mAh power bank. Many power banks have two output options (2A / 1A) that can promise to charge faster than a normal charger.

But your expectation from the power bank does not need to be "quick charge". Rather, it is enough to charge at normal times. If you buy a good brand power bank, you do not have to worry about charging time.

3. Size and shape

Since the function of a power bank is to be portable, it is important to consider their size and shape when buying them. There are many power banks that are round, which cannot be carried in the pocket. It is best if you can buy a rectangular shaped power bank like a phone. If necessary, you can carry it in your pocket. And the weight of the power bank is not too much. You can still find options when buying.

4. Additional features

Additional features of the power bank may include a charge indicator, an additional output port, torch, etc. The charge indicator light / LCD display will show you how much charge is left or how much has been charged. 

If there is an additional output port, you can charge more than one device at a time. Also, some power banks may have solar chargers, although it takes much longer to be charged by such solar chargers.
