10 Power Banks That Won't Let You Down: The Best External Batteries Of 2018
Before buying a Power Bank we have to think about the use that we are going to give it. If we have a smartphone with a lot of battery, or devices that require a lot of charge, it is advisable to look for a powerful charger in order to hold several recharges. The last thing we want is to go on a trip for several days and that we can only charge the phone a couple of times. That would be impractical!
On the contrary, if we are going to carry the charger in the backpack for the day to day, we can get a lighter one and avoid carrying more weight than desired.
Usually we can find 5,000mAh, 10,000mAh, 20,000mAh and the most powerful 25,000mAh portable batteries. To get an idea: with the former, we could charge a mobile once or twice. With the most powerful, about 7 or 8 times.
