Rechargeable portable batteries provide an extra source of power for your smartphone's battery while traveling or working, which is especially useful if you find yourself with only 20% charge in the early afternoon while running errands.
Hence, it's important to know how to choose the right power bank for your daily or weekly needs, whether you want a power bank for your mobile phone or a desktop tablet.
So, in this comprehensive guide from Newtech, we present to you the most important things you need to know when purchasing a portable power bank. Follow along to learn more!
How to choose a power bank that suits your needs?!
To choose a power bank that suits your needs, first make sure it supports fast charging technology to ensure faster charging in a shorter time. Then, select the type of charging you want (wired or wireless), in addition to choosing a capacity that suits your mobile phone's battery. It is preferable that the power bank has a capacity capable of fully charging your mobile phone at least once before recharging it.
Two additional factors to consider are the number of charging ports and the portability of the power bank, which provides flexibility and the ability to charge more than one device at the same time.
Let's get to know each factor in more detail:
1- Support fast charging technology
Make sure the power bank supports fast charging (in watts). For example, a 45W power bank is twice as fast as a 25W power bank, and it also supports Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge technologies, which significantly reduce charging time.
Two features to look for in fast-charging power banks:
-
Power Delivery PD: A technology that supports USB-C ports and provides up to 3 times faster charging compared to traditional chargers. Many modern phones, such as the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy, support this technology, making it a must-have feature.
-
Qualcomm Quick Charge QC: Another fast charging standard, found in many devices based on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, so look for a Quick Charge 3.0 or 4.0 power bank for the best performance.
✅ Anker 25000mAh portable battery From the Newtech store, the best power bank provides fast charging for up to 4 devices simultaneously. It supports Power Delivery and Qualcomm Quick Charge with a charging capacity of up to 165 watts, with built-in, retractable cables that enable you to charge your device up to 30% in just 20 minutes.

2- Wired vs. wireless charging: Which do you prefer?
Portable batteries are available in two types: wired (USB-A, USB-C) and wireless (magnetic chargers). Choosing the right type depends on your preference for convenience and flexibility. Wireless charging offers great convenience by charging without the need for cables, and is ideal for MagSafe devices like the iPhone 15.
Wired power banks offer faster charging speeds and support more diverse devices thanks to multiple ports such as USB-C and USB-A, making them the best choice for those looking for a simple and effective solution that can charge multiple devices at the same time.
✅ The Anker MagGo 10K Magnetic Wireless Charger from NewTech combines both wired and wireless charging, providing 15W magnetic wireless charging twice as fast as regular chargers, plus a USB-C port for fast 27W wired charging when needed.
3- Power bank capacity that matches your device’s battery
Choose a portable battery with a capacity that suits your daily use and your mobile phone battery. For example, if your mobile phone battery is 3000 mAh, then choose a power bank with a capacity of 10000 mAh. It charges it fully about 3 times, and it is preferable to choose a power bank with a capacity that allows you to charge your phone at least twice before recharging the power bank.
4- The number of ports is sufficient to charge all your devices.
If you need to charge more than one device at once, a power bank with multiple USB ports is the perfect choice. Whether you're charging a phone, tablet, smartwatch, or wireless earbuds, having the ability to charge multiple devices at the same time saves time and effort.
But there are points to consider when charging multiple devices:
-
Port Types: Make sure there are USB-A, USB-C, and Lightning ports for greater compatibility with various devices.
-
Total Charging Capacity: Keep in mind that the total charging capacity (mAh) is divided between the ports, so it's best to choose a larger capacity when charging multiple times.
-
Wireless Charging Support: Some power banks support wireless charging for multiple devices at the same time, which is an excellent feature for devices like the iPhone or AirPods.
✅ The best multi-port power bank is the Anker 347 Power Bank 40000mAh From Newtech, it provides a large charging capacity of up to 30W PD, enough to charge your mobile phone, tablet, laptop, and even Airpods. At the same time, it has two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports with Power Delivery technology for faster charging.
5- Portability: Is the power bank portable and easy to carry?
When choosing your power bank, it's important to consider how often you'll carry it with you and how much space it will take up in your pocket or bag. There are two types of power banks based on their size: a compact, easy-to-carry model and a larger model with higher capacities, faster charging speeds, and multiple ports.
Available in our New Tech store:
✅ 10,000mAh portable power bank with a lightweight and slim design that you can put in your pocket or bag, so you can enjoy fast charging wherever you are at work or on the road.
