How to choose the right portable charger?
In order to support the “life” of your mobile gadget and increase the time between its charges, you can use a wonderful accessory - a portable charger. Today in specialized stores you can find PowerBank of various shapes, colors, sizes and of course characteristics. In this article, we will talk about how to choose a model suitable for your requests?
Navigation
When choosing an external battery, it is important to find a compromise between the capacity of such a device and its size. You need to understand that this gadget is primarily a portable device and its size should be small. It is unlikely that you will want to wear a ROM that can completely charge your smartphone many times, but which at the same time has bulky dimensions uncomfortable for you.
Of course, for tourists, avid fishermen (especially those who get to the reservoirs for a long time) and other people who spend the time for a long time from electricity, it is best to buy a fairly capacious charger.
Battery capacity
The battery capacity is one of the most important characteristics of any mobile device. This expression means for how long a completely charged battery can completely discharge. The battery capacity is expressed in milliamps per hour or mash. In the flagship smartphones, the battery has a container of 1400 mAh to 5000 mAh. For example, the Samsung S7 Edge battery has a capacity of 3600 mAh.
When choosing a ROM, correlate the container of portable charging and your devices. Popular model PowerBank Deppa NRG AlumA capacity of 18000 mAh, is able to charge your devices several times.
Current strength
Now it is important to understand for which gadgets you purchase a portable charger. For old button phones, there is enough current strength B0.5 amperes, and for modern devices you need at least 1 ampere. And if your gadget supports the fast charging function ( Quick Charge), then charging will suit him, giving “at the exit” 2 A.
Tip: you should not save on ROM. Even if your smartphones do not yet support the Quick Charge function, this does not mean that the next gadget you bought will not maintain quick charging. Therefore, buy a portable charger with such a function. Soon all manufacturers will switch to it.
additional characteristics
In principle, all the most important characteristics of the ROM are listed above. But, for the convenience of using such devices, you need to pay attention to such characteristics.
The quantity and quality of USB partitions
Choose a ROM in which at least two USB-shares. This means that two gadgets can be connected to such a portable charger. This will help to save time on the road and restore the performance of your devices faster.
The second USB connector does not greatly increase the cost of ROM, but makes the operation of this device more comfortable.
But, you need to understand that the connectors should be of high quality. It is their breakdown that most often disables the portable charger. Famous manufacturers of such devices do not save on components. Therefore, it is best to choose a ROM of already proven models and firms. By the way, some of them will be listed below.
Indicators
On the buildings of portable chargers, manufacturers place 3-4 LEDs that show the battery charge. Unfortunately, the older the ROM, the less you need to trust such indicators. If you can afford to “overpay” for such a charger, then it is best to purchase a PowerBank with a digital charge indicator. They usually “deceive” less even after several years of using such a device.
Important: unfortunately, only for a digital indicator in the ROM you will have to overpay for such a device up to 30% of its cost.
Automatic shutdown after charging
A very important additional function is the automatic shutdown of ROM after charging the device. We very often leave our smartphones, tablets and other devices at night. In order to prevent electricity from the external charger, after complete charging the device, it must be disconnected independently. If this is not done, devices that consume more electricity when charging than in normal work will quickly “de -energize” PowerBank.
Turning/off button
Inspect the portable device that you liked. Pay special attention to the buttons of turning on and off the device. It must be drowned into the case in order to minimize the risk of randomly turning on the device and its discharge.
2- and 3 in one
Today in specialized stores you can purchase multifunctional models of portable chargers. Very often they are equipped with a flashlight. It is very convenient to use such ROMs on night fishing or tourist campaign.
You can also purchase portable chargers with a built-in Wi-Fi router. But, the best of these devices are those that are equipped with a solar panel and can be charged without the use of electricity.
