The Ultimate Custom Power Bank Buying Guide

Custom Power Banks Graphic With iPromoHave you ever been out and about and desperately in need of your phone, only to have the device run out of power at the most important moment? This is unfortunately a common occurrence in today’s technology dominated lifestyle. Smartphones and tablets have become fully integrated into our daily routines.

They are more than just a means of communicating. You can use these devices to handle banking, help out with directions, run a business, and much more. Our devices are becoming increasingly useful with every passing day. However, there is one limitation to these amazing devices that still has a long way to go in terms of innovation – the battery life.

What is a Power Bank?

Most devices like smartphones and tablets are powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries which have a very finite lifespan. Limited battery life for our devices can be a real pain. Fortunately, there is a fantastic product available that can provide a much needed battery boost for all of your favorite devices.

Portable custom power banks are lightweight and easily transportable devices that allow you to charge your phone or tablet without needing a direct power outlet. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all of them function in a similar manner. Charge up the power bank prior to leaving the house, and you will have a mobile charging station for whenever you might be in need of a battery boost.

Things to Consider Before Selecting Your Power Bank

The first thing to ask yourself before deciding on a particular power bank what size of power bank fits your needs. Portability is obviously important, but you also want your power bank to be able to meet your specific charging requirements. mAh, or milliamp-hours, is a common way to measure the capacity level of a power bank. Sizes typically ranges from 2000mAh all the way up to 20,000mAh. The higher the mAh, the more power or charges that the power bank will be able to provide.

It’s also important to think about how many devices you will be using the power bank to charge. Some promotional power banks offer multiple USB ports to charge several devices at once. Additionally, take a look at the power bank’s certifications to make sure that it complies with all legal standards of safety. Buying the cheapest power bank on the market might mean you are sacrificing some valuable safety and quality standards.
