Types of Power Banks

Power Banks are batteries that store electrical energy. They can be used to power up various appliances and equipments, including your laptop, electronic gadgets, GPS devices, and other electronic devices. But they can also be used to charge your own batteries!

A battery, or rechargeable power bank, is simply a device which supplies power directly from the battery pack to convert directly to stored chemical energy for subsequent storage in a battery cell. These kinds of power banks come with both AC and DC adapter interfaces. The adapter connects the AC outlet to the DC outlet of the battery pack. These batteries can be recharged both at home and in the office as long as you possess an appropriate recharging device and connections.

Most modern household gadgets use AC adapters and so require the use of a power bank. Some popular brands like Dell, HP, Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Motorola and others have built-in power banks. Most modern wall adapters connect to the wall power supply via 12 VAC or D.C. power outlets. A wireless charging apparatus comes with its own power banks that can be charged by your notebook or other portable electronics device. Some brands like Panasonic Voltage, Power Banks Mobile, Power Banks Polestar and others manufacture rechargeable batteries.

Each and every brand has a unique maximum capacity of charge that it can provide while others can give you as much as ten times more capacity. It all depends upon the size, weight, battery type (rechargeable or not), power supplied to the device and its overall weight and size. These power banks can be classified into several types such as NiMH, nickel metal hydride, lithium ion, etc. Let us see the different categories so that you can choose the best one according to your personal need and budget.

Nickel metal hydride is one of the most common and popular power banks that can power any electronic device including laptops and mp3 players. This type of rechargeable battery can be used to power most hand held electronic gadgets. These are usually built-in and can be plugged in any suitable outlet. They also come with an adapter that can be used to recharge the battery as well. The disadvantages of this type are that they are very heavy and do not have long life.

Lithium ion and nickel metal hydride power banks come loaded with high capacity lithium batteries that can support high volume charging of portable devices. They do not have a built-in rechargeable feature and must be plugged in from the main electric power source. These can be used to power hand held and compact devices like cameras, video recorders, mobile phones, mp3 players and others.

There are portable chargers that come in different sizes and types. They are generally made out of either plastic or stainless steel in various colors. They can be purchased from most electronic stores or from reputed online sources at attractive prices. Portable chargers are known to be efficient and can charge a wide variety of devices comfortably. They are designed to conveniently charge the batteries in minutes.

Each manufacturer produces a different style of portable charger. Some of these chargers come in packs that hold many different types of batteries. Some of them have one single outlet whereas others can support multiple devices simultaneously. Portability of these batteries has been a major factor that has contributed to their popularity. A wide range of brands is available in the market to choose from and you can select the one that best suits your personal needs.
