Collection: Regular power banks

The charging time of a powerbank depends on its capacity and charging rate. A 5000mAh powerbank can typically take between 2 to 4 hours to fully charge, while larger powerbanks (for example, 10,000mAh) require 4 to 8 hours. Using a fast charger can shorten the charging time.

This depends on the capacity of both your smartphone and the power bank. If you have a 10,000mAh powerbank and your smartphone has a 3000mAh battery capacity, you can fully charge your phone about 2-3 times. Allow for some energy loss while charging.

Yes, you can just use your device while charging through a power bank. However, it may decrease the charging speed because the device also consumes power during use.

The life of a power bank is usually expressed in charging cycles (the number of times the power bank can be fully charged and discharged). Most powerbanks have a lifespan of 300 to 500 charging cycles. This means that your powerbank may become less efficient after a few years of heavy use.

In general, it is safe to charge a power bank and use it to charge your device at the same time. However, make sure you use a good quality power bank that is protected against overheating, overcharging and short circuits to avoid damage.
