1. Power
• Is there
anything
more
frustrating
than this ?
Powerbanks are not all the same!!!
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium-Polymer Batteries
Pros …
• Standard Size, therefore cheaper
• Up to 2600mah only
• Short lead times due to ample supply
Pros …
• Can cut cells to fit custom sizes
• Any capacity available
• Heat resistant
• Less likely to explode
• Not many fakes in market
• Lighter than Lithium-Ion
Cons
• Common, so plenty of fake in market
• Not very heat resistant
• Heavy due to metal casing of liquid
compounds
• Can explode
•
(mostly our two entry-level models)
Cons
• More expensive
•
(Most of our other models)
What’s most important when assessing power banks?
1. Battery Capacity –
– How many times will it charge my phone before I have to recharge it? (see table)
– Will it charge my tablet?
2. Cycle Life of Battery –
– How many times will your power bank charge before its cycle life is over?
– How can you tell that yours won’t last just a few months ? <50 cycles.
3.
Is the promised capacity real?

4.
5.
6.
Have you purchased the power bank from someone reputable?
Is there a warranty?
How fast does the power bank charge your phone/tablet?
How quickly does it take your power bank take to charge when flat?
Always choose a safe product over a cheap product!!!

Need-To-Know
Charging devices
Capacity:
Unit of measure mAh
Cycle Life:
Indicates how many times a battery can be full recharged and discharged before the capacity is greatly
diminished to an unusable or worthless size
Efficiency:
Power banks vary in energy transfer efficiency, which can range from 50% to 82% of the rated capacity
Need-to-know
charging devices continued
Input Current:
Indicates the speed at which a charger recharges itself from a USB power source (such as a PC USB port or USB wall plug
adaptor)
Output Current:
Indicates the speed at which the charger charges a connected device.
Discharge Time:
Indicates the average time in which a charger can drain all of its energy to charge up an average mobile device. Note: Speed
varies depending on which mobile device you are charging hence the greater than or equal to symbols are used to represent a
variable figure.
Recharge Time:
Indicates the time required for the power bank to fully recharge itself from a USB power source (such as a PC USB port or a
USB wall plug adaptor)
2. Audio
Important to look out for before purchasing an
audio device:
Earphones and headphones:
Universal audio jacks – 3.5mm
Is it compatible with most audio devices?
Speakers:
Do you need batteries or does it include a
rechargeable battery?
Does it support playback from most audio
devices?
Universal audio Jacks – 3.5mm
Is it a Bluetooth speaker?
