Power banks are back ups for charging smartphones. This is very important for those who are usually lazy to charger their phones directly or those who are living in places where electricity isn't stable.

Do you own a power bank? What's the power capacity of your power bank?
 
I have 2 power banks, but I have never had to use them because my phone is always charged. But I had tested them to make sure they work and they both work really well,

That's nice. Which company's brand are you making use of? I have been using Oraimo product for a while now. Their power bank is very good.

Yes, it's called Anker Power Bank and it is good enough to charge 4 phones before it needs to be charged.

I've never owned power bank before. I don't have any use for it because there's constant power which I use to charge my smartphone whenever I want.

I have one and am also planning to get a new one because of power outages here, especially during rainy seasons. It is never as easy as anyone would look at it.

Anker Power Bank? I haven't heard about it yet but I'm just going to check it just to know if I can find it here. If it's that good I might pick up one.

I bought mine on Amazon, I think it was around $50. But it's been so long that I can not remember. It still works fine though. 😀

What is the reason why you want to get another power bank when youhalready ave one or is it that the one you have is not serving you well currently or it is not a good quality one that you're using?

If it is an Amazon that you purchase it, I believe that there is a highly good chance that it will still be available on the website. So, I'll probably have it checked out and see if I can get one.

I've seen this Oraimo products ads a few times. The power bank looks very heavy, maybe it's because that was the 30,000 mAh capacity I saw.

I'm currently making use of the 27,000 mAh capacity. It was very strong when I got it about 3 years ago but right now, it is no longer that effective.

Why isn't it no longer effective? What happened to it? 3 years for a 27,000 mAh capacity of a power bank to start having issues is too early.
 
I rarely travel and always keep my phone charged, so I have no need for a power bank.

If you have a constant power supply and don't make trips. Then, I agree with you on the idea that you don't need a power bank. Wasn't the goal of a power back not to have a fully charged mobile device?

I've had a Samsung fast charge 10k bank for almost 5 years now. I probably will need to replace it soon. But I don't use it too often, only if I'm gonna be gone all day and won't be home till late, or weekend trips, vacations mostly.
 
I don't have a power bank. I always have my phone charged before going out. I only need to charge it once every two to three days. But if I'm planning to travel, I would consider getting a power bank. Might make use of it.

If you only need to charge your phone once every two to three days, it means that you're not doing much with your smartphone that is draining the battery because that is never going to be possible with me and my smartphone.

I do too, but what if your power goes out? Then what are you going to do? I don't have a car charger so I couldn't go charge it in the car. I guess I could go to the library and charge it. But who wants to do that lol.

I usually charge my phone to max before a storm hits and if we lose power for a good long while, tending to my phone is the least of my worries.

That is true, my power has only been out overnight. I have never had power out for longer than that.

P.S. When my power goes out I use my phone a lot more which makes a power bank useful.

Yep, that's the true essence of having a power bank. Although I have seen people who usually don't charge their phone but make use of their power bank when they are not even having any light issues. They are just lazy to charge.
 
I don't have a power bank before because where I was living we have steady light and my phone battery is also strong. What's the need of power bank when there's light from morning till night. But since I relocated to this other state, I started feeling sick because we don't have light at all. The reason why I start telling myself and screaming it loud that it's time to buy power bank or else I will be running helter skelter looking for where to charge my phone before it trip off.

Anyone who is living where there is constant electricity will never understand what it means to have a power bank because since there is constant power, there wouldn't be any need to be in a hurry to charge your phone or even laptop.
 
I used to have a power bank and used to use it a lot when me and my family were on days out. We used to play a lot of Pokemon Go back then and that was battery hungry so carrying a power bank always helped.

I have not used a power bank in a long time now though.

We have always had light issues! My current power bank is already giving me issues. I need to change it as soon as possible. Once it's down to 30%, it's going to switch off.

Yes, it's the need for having a reliable power bank. When there's no need for power bank because you have constant electricity, it defeats the purpose of getting one.

I'm currently using my power bank right now to charge my second smartphone. It's a Huawei phone but it seems to have developed battery issues.
