Power Banks and their features
We can say that power banks are quite handy devices which help us recharge our phones, tablets, digital cameras, even laptops without AC power plugs and sockets. To illustrate the popularity of power banks today, we have to mention that almost all brands on the market today offer power banks to use with the devices they produce.

Simply speaking, the power bank stores energy from the power socket and later it transfers it to the mobile device when needed.
The power banks come in many different sizes and shapes, plus they all have some specific features which makes them stand out of the crowd. You are here to decide which features you really need when you decide to buy a power bank.
What types of power banks are there?

• Solar power bank – as the name says you can charge this power bank using sun light. However, you have to know that these power banks are no the fastest ones on the market.
Charging the Power Bank – How to
There are some important things you have to have in mind when you charge your power bank. Here are some ideas for you.
Your power bank has to be charged too and it is up to you whether you are going to use AC power plugs and sockets or the USB port on your computer.
At the same time the power bank can use the same port for input and output. So, before you use the power bank for the first time make sure to check the user’s manual and check this out.

When the charging process finishes, it is recommended to unplug the power bank from the socket in order to avoid overcharging and overheating.
Power Bank Buying Tips
If you plan to buy a power bank make sure to take the following points into account.
Generally, power banks are made of Lithium–ion or Lithium-polymer materials. You can be sure that these material will store electric energy in a most efficient way.

There are also some other important things which have to be considered when you are buying a power banks. These are:
• Capacity
• Number of output ports
• Output specifications
• Digital displays
