How to choose a power bank that suits my needs?
Here are some criteria to consider:
- Capacity (mAh): For occasional use, a battery of 5,000 to 10,000 mAh is sufficient. For more intensive use or to charge multiple devices, opt for a battery of 20,000 mAh or more.
- Portability: If you need a lightweight and compact battery, choose a small capacity model. For more intensive use, choose a larger battery with multiple output ports.
- Number of ports: If you have multiple devices to charge at the same time, choose a battery with multiple USB ports.
- Fast charging compatibility if you want your devices to charge quickly.
How does a power bank work?
A power bank works like a rechargeable battery. You charge it in advance via a USB cable connected to an electrical outlet or computer. Once charged, it stores energy and you can use it to charge your devices by connecting them to the battery via a USB cable.
What capacity power bank should I choose?
The capacity of a power bank is measured in milliamp hours (mAh). The higher the number, the more times the power bank can charge a device before needing to be recharged. For example, a 10,000mAh battery can charge a standard smartphone about 2 to 3 times. If you often use multiple devices or travel often, opt for a higher capacity, such as 20,000mAh.
Are power banks compatible with all smartphones and tablets?
Yes, most power banks are compatible with any device that charges via a USB port, including Android smartphones, iPhones, iPads, and other electronics like wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and even some laptops.
How long does it take to charge a power bank?
The charging time of a power bank depends on its capacity and the power of the charger you are using. Typically, a 10,000mAh battery can take between 4 and 6 hours to be fully charged. For larger capacity batteries, it can take 8 to 12 hours. Using a fast charger can reduce this time.
How do you know if a power bank is good quality?
A quality power bank should offer several features, such as:
- Overcharge and overheat protection, to prevent damage to your devices.
- LED indicator to show you the remaining charge level.
- Compatibility with fast charging (Quick Charge or Power Delivery) for reduced charging time.
How long does a power bank last?
The lifespan of a power bank is typically 300 to 500 full charge cycles, meaning it can be fully charged and discharged about 500 times before its capacity starts to decrease. This equates to several years of normal use, depending on how often you use it.
Are power banks safe to use?
Yes, as long as you buy a certified and quality power bank. Our power banks are equipped with protections against overvoltage, overload, short circuit and overheating, which guarantees maximum safety during use.
Can I take a power bank on a plane?
Yes, power banks are allowed on planes, but they must be carried as hand luggage. According to IATA rules, power banks under 100 Wh (watt-hours) can be carried without restrictions. Always check the airline's rules before traveling with multiple batteries. This is not advice in any way. It is your responsibility to check.
How do I maintain my power bank to extend its life?
To extend the life of your power bank:
- Avoid leaving it fully discharged for long periods of time.
- Do not expose it to extreme temperatures (excessive heat or cold).
- Use good quality cables for charging.
- Recharge it regularly, even if you don't use it often.
What are the advantages of a power bank with fast charging?
A fast-charging power bank can charge your devices much faster than a standard power bank. If your smartphone or tablet supports Quick Charge or Power Delivery, you can get a 50% or more charge in less than 30 minutes. This is ideal for those times when you're in a hurry.
