How To Choose A Portable Power Bank?

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:

A power bank only uses two kinds of batteries. Aside from the lithium-ion battery and the lithium ion polymer battery, there are 4 other types of batteries that a lipstick power bank can use. These 4 batteries are the lead acid, the NiMH, the alkaline and the NiCd batteries.

Back in the days, power banks used to be very expensive when it wasn't widely used yet. Today, you can purchase one even at an affordable price. The Lipstick power bank from Vority, for instance, can be bought at a 56% discount in Amazon.

Power banks come in various forms. Some only have single port, while some feature multiple charging ports for simultaneous use. Some chargers are used for mobile phones and some can support tablets. Generally, power banks differ according to their type of battery component. The Lithium-Polymer type of cell would usually cost a lot than the Lithium-Ion because of production costs. Despite that, most users still prefer the latter since it pretty much provides satisfactory charging speed at less price.

A lot of users tend to charge their devices overnight. This can be very dangerous if the charging tool is substandard. You should always treat your gadgets as an investment and use only high end devices to keep them working.

The Vority Vigor 3S lipstick power bank has a feature that automatically stops its charging when the device is full. Overcharging can also damage your gadget so this feature serves an important purpose.

It's difficult to differentiate an original power bank from a counterfeit one. You won't find it tough to determine a fake lipstick power bank if you can spot the differences. For example, if you own a real power bank and have been seeing its micro-USB port for a long time, you're more likely to identify that a fake power bank has a micro-USB that has a white inner port.

A power bank can charge gadgets that need different input volts. Yes, as long as it's compatible with the gadgets. But the gadgets' input volt and the input volt provided by the lipstick power bank can affect the charging time.

As you might often read in labels, mAh stands for milliamp per hour. This measures the capacity of the battery to store power. The Vority lipstick power bank works on a 3000mAh that can support iPhone models, Google Nexus, HTC, Blackberry and even Samsung Galaxy Note.

However, be wary that a higher mAh would not literally result to double or triple speed for charging. This still varies from the printed circuit board, the device that you're charging, the type of power bank and even the quality of the cable.

Vority is a trusted name when it comes to device chargers. Its lipstick power bank comes in red, blue and black and is very handy. You can stash it even in the smallest bag and even in your pocket. It weighs about 68 grams so it's not much of an inconvenience to carry around. It even has a square shaped form that holds it in place on a leaning table.
