What are the Best Types of Power Banks

A power bank that has a very high power capacity isn't too popular among the mainstream crowd in society and for good reasons too. This is because when a power bank has a high power capacity, it also means that it's going to be quite large. So the power capacity and size of a portable charger are going to be directly related. However, it's also important to know that even though these power banks with high capacities are generally heavier and larger, the portability aspect is still there and you can take them anywhere you want. It's just that they're not really meant to carry in your hand for long periods of time.

Additionally. these types of power banks are very helpful with the power that they provide because a high power capacity of, say, 20,000mAh or beyond is going to be able to charge lots of devices multiple times; so you can use the power bank numerous times before it needs to recharge.

On the other end of the spectrum, low power capacity power banks are among the most used types of portable chargers. This is because they're very portable since they come in small 4-5 inch cylindrical or flat/thin designs that make it easy to place the power bank into your pocket. Or you can just hold the charger.

With that said, a small power bank also means that it's going to have a low power capacity and these usually have just a single charging port. The usual power capacities of these power banks are 3,000mAh - 5,000mAh of power to use. That's enough power capacity to charge most smartphones only once and possibly twice depending on what smartphone that you have; multiple uses isn't a promise here.

Nearly every charging electronic on the market requires a cable, even if a device is wireless, it's most likely going to need to be recharged eventually. With that said, this can be a hassle because you're always going to need to have a charging cable on hand at all times. There is a solution for this when it comes to charging electronics and the most useful solution happens when it's used with power banks.

This is because there are power banks that use built-in Lighting, Micro-USB and even USB-C charging cables; all you have to do is just choose what cable you use the most often, and then you'll always have a cable to use. In addition, to having a charging cable to charge your device with, there are also power banks that have built-In USB cables that can be used to recharge the power bank AND also share files when devices are charging with their built-in charging cables.

Most electronics on the market are fragile and aren't able to withstand the ruggedness of falling onto hard flooring or getting water on them. We're just now stepping into a generation when smartphones are able to be water resistant with devices like the Samsung Galaxy S7, iPhone 7 and other smartphones as well. Although the safety of those smartphones are quite negligible because they can't be immersed in water or drop without getting damaged.

At least there are power banks that are built to certain specifications to withstand things that would normally destroy power banks that aren't built to a certain standard. These Rugged power banks have a built strength that can take falls onto the hard ground and some them can be immersed into the water without getting damaged. Most of the time, these portable chargers are thought to be useful only in a wilderness setting such as when you're hiking, camping or biking since there's more of a chance of an electronic device getting damaged. That makes sense.
