Want To Choose A Lipstick Power Bank? Here Are 7 Factors To Consider

By Johny Jacson


Lipstick power banks have overtaken electricity outlets due to their added convenience. Let's clear up the following misconceptions that revolve around power banks:

Capacity of the Power Bank

The gadget's battery capacity should be equal to or less than the capacity of the lipstick power bank. For example, an iPhone has a battery capacity of 1,432 mAh.

The microchip controls how much power will be delivered from the power bank to your gadget.

Automatic on/off mode

The lipstick power bank will turn on when you connect it to your gadget. It will turn off when you disconnect your gadget or when your gadget is completely charged.

If the LED indicator does not light up, the power bank isn't charging the gadget.

Lithium polymer and lithium ion are the two kinds of batteries that a lipstick power bank may contain. These batteries take 2-4 hours to charge a gadget and they typically cost around $100.

Lithium polymer is an expensive battery that's manufactured from aluminum. It sends 4.20-4.35 volts to fully charged devices and 2.7-3.0 volts to discharged gadgets. It typically charges only cell phones and can withstand a temperature of 0-60 degrees Fahrenheit.

The cells lessen the charging time once you connect your gadget to the power bank.

LED power switch

The switch at the other end of the lipstick power bank activates four LED lights. These lights detect your gadget's remaining power level.

They do not have similar qualities. The lithium-ion battery produces a temperature of -20-60 degrees Celsius, whereas the lithium ion polymer battery produces a temperature of 0-60 degrees Fahrenheit. It's difficult to differentiate an original power bank from a counterfeit one.

Gadgets that need an input volt of 5 V are smart phones, digital cameras, iPods and PSPs. Tablets, SLR cameras and video cameras are examples of devices that need an input volt of 8-12 V.

Function of LED Indicator

It gives your gadget more than 90 hours of audio playback by overcharging. You will have more time to listen to music for more than 9 or 10 hours. Its power will turn off after 3 to 4 hours if your gadget is fully charged. You can carry it with you because it fits in your bag or pocket. Unlike other power banks, it does not roll off from an inclined table because of its square shape.

Your gadget will take 2 to 3 hours for it to be fully charged if it has over 25% remaining power. If your gadget has 10% remaining power, it will take 45 minutes for it to be fully charged. Its four LEDs will light up depending on your gadget's remaining power level. For example, if your gadget has a remaining power level of 25%, one LED will light up. Two LEDs will light up if your gadget has 50% remaining power. If your gadget has 75% remaining power, three LEDs will light up. All four LEDs will light up if your gadget is completely charged. It is compatible with gadgets like the Music player, Windows smart phone, battery cases, Android smart phone, Sony PSP, Amazon Kindle Fire, GPS, Bluetooth speaker, Blackberry smart phone and the Bluetooth headset. It is also compatible with devices that are manufactured by Apple, Google, and Samsung. Apple gadgets include the Apple iPhone 5S, Apple iPod, Apple iPhone 3GS, Apple iPhone 5C, Apple iPhone 4, Apple iPhone 4S and the Apple iPhone 5.

Google gadgets include the Google Nexus One, Google Nexus 7, Google Nexus S, Google Nexus 4 and the Google Nexus 5.

The charging time may also be shortened if the lipstick power bank delivers an input volt of 24 V to a smart phone that needs an input volt of 5 V.

The lipstick power bank has short circuit protection and overcharge protection. The power bank has an IC protector that cuts the power supply to prevent short circuits.

This protector also cuts off electricity when the gadget is fully charged. The electricity cut-off prevents the power bank's life from decreasing because of overcharging.
