Panic has been given a new meaning and powerbanks are our source of relief nowadays when our lives are surrounded with power-driven geargets and gadgets. How do you choose one that’s sufficient for your needs or even exceed what you require for it to juice up? A smartphone nowadays has at least a 3,500mAh built-in battery whilst some of the top end phones such as the Samsung S23+ and S23 Ultra have 4,700mAh and 5,000mAh respectively. The power-hungry apps within may maximise your pleasure but it also maximises your pressure wondering if you have enough juice to last you throughout your day. Your smartphone may be your means of staying connected with the outside world being the source of news, entertainment, education, amusement but also the annoyance when it prematurely dies on you. Powerbanks to the rescue but there are a million and one out there, which one to choose?
Don’t fall for the sheer size or large number of mAH because in today’s world, that won’t do the job for the higher tech batteries that require higher power delivery (PD). Today’s standard is using USB-C PD 3.0, which allows for 100W transfers from a single, rated cable.
My recent acquisition of the GaN charger as I’ve detailed all about it here, got me to inspect my old powerbanks that have lasted me for years. I’ve to say, they will now serve me when I go camping, to power up fairy lights and lanterns for the atmosphere at night! None of them are able to efficiently recharge my Note 10+ 4,300mAh battery that’s rated to 45W PD 3.0!
These specs are what’s needed today. I’ve done the research so you don’t have to sweat to find which one to go for. As long as your powerbank operate in these conditions, your phone will be recharged faster. Look also for the Quick Charge 3.0 (QC). Your devices could be either or these standards to quickly recharge a depleted battery.
The Romoss SW20PF 20000mAh has the requirements to support bigger capacity batteries in the later generation smartphones. Imagine charging your tablet and phone with 5A of delivery while on the move!
Output :
5V 3A or 9V 2A or 12V 1.5A (For Type-C)
What the above means is, the recharge rate for batteries that charge on 5V is 3Amp, 9V at 2Amp, 12V at 1.5A, if all 3 used together, would be 5V 3A.
If a single device is being charged, 4.5V 5A or 5V 4.5A or 9V 2A or 12V 1.5A (USB-A/22.5W MAX)
Input or recharging of powerbank:
5V 3A or 9V 2A (for Type-C)
5V 2A or 9V 2A (for Lightning)
5V 2A or 9V 2A (for Micro USB)
This is where the GaN charger comes in. When you need to recharge your powerbank for the next day where you will be away from charging outlets, this 140W charger will do the job in record time.
Remember to always buy from official stores on these platforms!
