How to Choose the Right Power Bank for Your Phone

Finding the perfect power bank can feel overwhelming — here’s what really matters.

Power banks come in all shapes, sizes, and capacities. But choosing one isn’t just about going for the highest number. Let’s break it down.

Capacity: How Much Juice Do You Need?

Measured in mAh (milliamp-hours), higher capacity means more charges.

• 5,000–10,000mAh: Lightweight, pocket-friendly, 1–2 phone charges

• 20,000mAh+: Ideal for long trips or multiple devices

Port Types & Output Speeds:

Modern power banks feature USB-A, USB-C, or even wireless.

• Look for Power Delivery (PD) for ultra-fast charging

• Check wattage (18W, 30W, etc.) to match your device’s speed

Design & Safety Features:

Compact designs with durable materials last longer. Premium models also offer overcharge and short-circuit protection.

Takeaway:

Choose one that matches your phone’s fast-charging standard for the best experience. A good power bank keeps you going, anytime, anywhere.
