Dos and Don’ts When You Use a Power Bank 
Like Us on Facebook
Modern gadgets are power hungry. Our increasingly busy lives mean a dead battery can leave you disconnected from life, work, and your daily routine. Portable chargers and power banks will keep you from getting stranded when you’re on the go and without a convenient charging source. They are ideal for recharging your smartphones and similar devices wherever you are when you find yourself low on power.


As with all electrical and electronic devices, it’s important to treat them with respect and care to ensure they continue to work properly and safely.

With this in mind, we advise you to think about some general Dos and Don’ts to help keep you safe when using power banks and portable chargers:





1. Do use the power pack only for its intended use. E.g. to recharge your mobile phone or other USB powered mobile devices.
2. Do keep away from heat sources and liquids - direct sunlight, humidity or water.
3. Do only use connecting cables provided with the battery pack and your mobile device.
4. Do supervise children using battery packs.





1. Don’t expose to extreme temperatures of hot or cold.  For example, do not leave it in a parked car where it could get very cold in winter or very hot in summer.
2. Don’t leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
3. Don’t store battery packs where they may short-circuit by conductive material - such as in your pocket or bag with coins or keys.
4. Don’t drop or roughly handle battery packs. They are robust but not indestructible.
5. Don't cover when charging. Charge in a well-ventilated environment.
6. Don't charge battery packs overnight or whilst you are out of the house. Most portable battery packs do not support charging and discharging at the same time.
7. Don’t dismantle or attempt to repair faulty battery packs.
In the event of a cell leaking, don't allow the liquid to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with water and seek medical advice.

Note: Most power banks and bars use lithium-Ion chemistry batteries that will naturally get warm due to high currents flowing during charge and discharge cycles.  It is normal for them to feel warm to touch, but if they are too hot to handle, do not use and seek advice from the manufacturer.

HOW TO FIX A PHONE THAT WON'T CHARGE PROPERLY(2)
A previous article is about the first 6 steps of How to fix a phone that won’t charge properly.
7. Charge from the right source Charging from a wall socket will always be faster than charging via PC or laptop, because computers' USB ports don't deliver very much power. A wall socket can deliver twice as much power as a USB port, and fast chargers it can deliver as much as five times the power – which means much, much faster charging. So if your phone is charging slowly and you're connected to a laptop: there's your problem.

If your wall charger doesn't appear to be delivering the goods, check that it's appropriate for your device. A charger from another phone might not deliver the right amount of juice — for example, a charger for a Bluetooth headset won't put out as much power as one designed specifically for smartphones. In the case of recent high-end phones, you might have a phone that supports fast charg…

Your buying guide for the best power banks in 2017

Your guide to the latest and best power banks of 2017. What is a best power bank? It should have some innovative function and it is just what you need. Phones get faster every year, but the more powerful they become the less their batteries can keep everything going. And, of course, all batteries will degrade over time. If you need extra battery power for your smartphone, tablet or other USB-powered device, you need a power bank. You might assume all power banks are much the same thing, but you would be wrong. You can get compact power banks that will charge your phone once, slightly larger portable chargers that might offer two or three charges, or high-capacity banks that can charge your phone in excess of 10 times! Working out how many times a power bank will charge your phone depends on more than the mAh rating on the packaging. No power bank is 100 percent energy-efficient, with every portable charger losing power through voltage c…
