Power Banks: Why they are more useful than battery cases and car chargers?

The more we buy communication devices, the more we need external battery backup. This fact has given birth to an entire range of power banks that are now available in different size, design and battery capacity. Power banks have carved a niche in smartphone accessories market.

However, these power banks have to face stiff competition from battery cases and car chargers. If you wonder how battery cases and car chargers can be a challenge for power banks? Well, both serve the same purpose: they charge your iPhones and Samsung Galaxy smartphones while you are travelling.

If you check the list of battery cases and car chargers, you will realize that none of the battery cases boasts battery capacity of more than 5000mAh. While car chargers are not supposed to have battery capacity, they constantly siphon power off your car battery, shortening its life.

Thus power banks are the obvious winner in the race of external battery backup. Remember this: the smarter the mobile phone, the more battery it consumes. Hence, your latest iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus require frequent charging as you are using features like 3D Touch, Apple Music, YouTube and more. In the Android world, there are Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, which consume battery with its extraordinary features.

This has called for stronger power banks for iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Make a note that some power banks are so powerful (2000mAh) that they can give 3-4 charges to your iPad. People are consuming a lot of audio/video content on their smart devices; watching movie is a common thing among youth. As a result, battery runs slow on their smartphones. To keep devices charged, they need power banks. In addition to media consumption, users frequently log on to social media apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google Plus from their mobile phones. This also burns battery of communication devices.

If you are a digital marketing professional, who has to stay online all the time, you are recommended to use a power bank that has more than 20000mAh battery capacity. Power banks are also useful for adventurous souls, when they hit the unexplored lands. Since there is no power source available outdoors, power banks are the only reliable source to charge mobile phones.

Before you choose any power bank for yourself, don’t fall for the external beauty of power bank. Rather go for its features like battery capacity and sturdy material that goes into making of a solid power bank. Another feature to look for is USB port; many power banks offer two or more USB ports. This enables users to charge more than one device simultaneously. Also check how many charges a power bank offers. For this, you need to check the battery capacity of your mobile and then check the battery capacity of power bank. Read the product description carefully before you place an order.

Size of the power banks also matter as they should not look clunky. A small but strong power bank is always the first choice of mobile users. If you are a frequent traveller, make sure that the power bank doesn’t occupy much space in your travel bag. Aside from size and strength, you need to check how much time a power bank takes to charge your device. The best power bank is one that doesn’t take much time to charge device; at the same time, it should not take much time to recharge itself.
