*What’s power bank?
Power bank serve as an ‘extra battery’ or external charger for your phone or other electronic devices.
* Where is power bank made from?
Majority of the power banks in the market are actually made in China.
* How do I charge the power bank?
You can charge your power bank via the charger that came with your phone, computer usb port or using other power bank
*How long do I need to charge the power bank?
It’s depending on the REAL CAPACITY of the power bank. The larger REAL CAPACITY, the longer charging time may required. Different charging methods may result different charging time as well. Charging with the original charger will be faster than charging with computer usb port.
* Why sometime I need longer time to charge the same power bank?
Even though using the same charging method, the charging time may be differ due to environment,temperature, power flow
*What is mAh?
-mAh is short for milliAmp/hours. It's a measurement of the amount of energy the battery can store. The one with 8400mAh can store double the amount of energy that the one with 4200mAh can store.
*If a smartphone cell is 1600mAh, does this means a 4800mAh power bank can charge it 3 times full charge?
-It depends actually, it v not translate directly into triple the usage time for the device with a ratio of 1:3. There is a calculation formula for the approx device charge per cycle for a single power bank charge. 4800mAh is only an indication on how long the device can power itself from the battery. All these factors will depend on the power bank cell quality, actual capacity, cell PCB board design and cell reliability.
*Why does a power bank take a longer period to charge in a computer USB port compare to a USB wall charger adapter even though both supply 5V?
-This is due to the USB Port (USB 2.0) in a computer/laptop only supplies 0.5Amp and a USB wall charger adapter supplies 1 Amp to 2.1Amp power supply. A power bank in general will require 5V/1A for optimum charging period
A 12000mAh REAL CAPACITY power bank, able to charge a 1500mAh capacity phone for 8 times full?
This is a common mistake make by most of the people. For rough calculation of the total charge time, kindly use this formula
REAL CAPACITY * conversion rate * phone battery health / phone capacity = total charge times
EXAMPLE: 12000 x 0.8 x 0.8 / 1500 = 5.12 charge times (0.5-1 times plus minus)
*What’s conversation rate?
Conversation rate is the remaining percentage of the battery after the battery lost in heat or PCB operation.
*What’s phone battery health?
In simple, it’s mean how‘healthy’ your phone battery is. Phone battery storage capacity will be lower and lower. That’s also the reason why our phone can last longer when it’s newly bought than after 3-6 months we used it. Different mobile phone models also will affect the calculation as some phone drain battery faster than the other.
*What’s PCB?
PCB means Printed Circuit Board,its control all the operation flow inside the power bank. A good quality PCB will allow the power bank to charge more and have better durability
*What’s the different between branded power bank and generic power bank?
Branded power bank mostly sell in REAL CAPACITY. Generic power bank mostly sell in MARKING CAPACITY. That’s the reason why you will never see any branded power bank (standard size) have anything as high as 30000mAh – 50000mAh. That’s also the reason why a good 12000-13000mAh power bank are able to charge more or about the same like the market 30000-50000mAh power bank
*Is it true branded power bank won’t explode and generic power bank will explode?
Anything to do with battery, will have chance to explode. No matter it’s branded power bank or generic power bank.But chances for both branded and generic power bank to explode are near to 0%.If power bank is easy to explode, everyone will use power bank in war instead.
