How to choose a powerful power bank?
Models with a capacity of 50,000 mAh and above are designed for large families and active gadget users. Everyone has probably experienced the fact that children want to charge their tablets, parents need to charge their smartphones, and sometimes even a toothbrush in the bathroom may need power. Powerful models with a good supply of both energy and ports are the right choice for all tasks and family members.
To ensure that everyone connects their appliances and is satisfied, you should pay attention to a set of parameters:
- Dimensions. This is a minor detail if the device will be used at home, but note that large capacities add weight. Models with 50 thousand mAh are not suitable for constant carrying or frequent traveling, but they will perfectly serve as a backup power source at home or in the office.
Power bank charging speed. A super important parameter that is often forgotten. Due to their large capacity, such power banks take a lot of time to charge. It is better to pay attention to models that support fast charging technology both for output and input (for example, Power Delivery or QC 3.0). - Support for different interfaces. Larger power banks often have multiple ports, allowing you to charge different devices at the same time. Look for USB-C, microUSB, and DC outputs.
- Current and power output. For charging powerful devices such as a laptop, the power bank should provide an output power of 18W or more and a rated current of 2A. It’s also helpful to have a charge level indicator to gauge the remaining power.
- Protection against overvoltage and overheating. Powerful power banks have built-in protection systems that prevent overheating or short circuits. This is important if you leave your device charging overnight.
