If you don't want your smartphone to suddenly die on you because it ran out of power, always ensure that you have a powerbank with you. This device is a real life saver as it allows you to keep your smartphone and other mobile devices powered up so you can use them for longer periods of time. In addition, power banks save you from the hassle of having to find an electrical outlet when you need to charge your electronic gadgets.
Use Your Powerbank to Its Full Potential
If you're considering buying a power bank or you currently have one, here are some pointers to help you take full advantage of its key features and capacities.
1. Determine the power bank's real capacity
One of the most important tips when using a power bank is to understand how it works. To get the most out of this device, therefore, you must know its real capacity. Basically, the rated capacity is the power bank's actual capacity after an energy loss due to power conversion. On average, it loses about 20% power during conversion and another 20% due to heat during the charging process. This means you'll get only 60% of your power bank's total advertised battery capacity. So if you have a 8,000mAh power bank for smart phone with a 1,560mAh battery capacity, you'll be able to fully charge the latter at least three times.
2. Know when to charge your power bank
Your portable power bank is useful only when it has a charge. Therefore, before you go out, make sure that it isn't empty. To enjoy the maximum convenience your power bank can provide, built a habit of charging it and knowing when the best time to charge is. Power banks have different capacities so their charging times will vary. However, there is a formula that you can use to determine how long it would take you to fully charge your power bank using input current.
Formula: Capacity/(input current x 80% energy efficiency)
So this means: 8,000mAh / (1000mA x 0.80) = at least 10 hours of charging
3. Always ensure your power bank is in good condition
Like all electronic devices, your 10000mAh powerbank can be more prone to wear and tear if you don't take care of it properly. To increase its life span, therefore, always ensure that it's in good condition. For instance, you should charge it with the input power specified in the user's manual. Also, you must never charge the power bank and your device at the same time because it can cause serious problems.
Follow the simple tips above to ensure that your battery charger will serve you to its full potential and for a very long time.
