How long does a power bank last?
How long can your power bank last? It often depends on the battery life of the power bank. A durable power bank can be used for 3-5 years if it is well maintained. Of course, the more times it is used, the shorter the battery life may be. Different types of batteries will also affect the service life. There are many factors that affect the use of power banks. In this section, we will explore in detail the key points that affect the life of power banks to ensure the sustainable use of your electronic products.
Why is my portable charger dying so fast?
There is a very nightmare scenario. When your mobile phone has less than 20% power left, you want to take out the mobile power bank that has been fully charged two days ago to recharge your mobile phone, but you find that the mobile power bank is out of power. At that moment, you literally want to die. Why does my mobile power bank consume power so quickly? Who stole my power bank? In fact, there is no one, but there are several reasons that affect your mobile power bank.
Battery type matters
Among the batteries used in power bank, lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used. As long as they are properly maintained, they can be used for several years without any problems. In addition, they are cheap, so they are widely used by many people.
Compared with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is much more durable and can even be used for 10 years. Especially for people who are in harsh environments on a daily basis, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is definitely the best choice. But the price will also be more expensive.
Factors that affect the battery life of a portable charger
Extreme Use：
Is there anyone like me who is full of OCD and will not charge until the last minute, and will only charge when the power bank is below 5%. But this behavior actually harms the battery of the power bank. For the health of the power bank, please keep the power between 20%-80%.
Too frequently:
Allowing your power bank to die fully might shorten its life. Plug it in for a recharge when it falls below 20%.
Extreme temperatures:
Extreme temperatures are also an important factor affecting the life of mobile power batteries. Not to mention batteries, even people will feel uncomfortable if they live in overheated or overcooled areas. The same is true for batteries.
Fast charging frenzy:
While handy, frequently using high-speed charging options will stress the battery, thereby shortening its lifespan over time. Consider the difference between taking the stairs and the elevator: both will get you there, but the steps are easier on your body (or in this case, the battery).
Ways to extend the lifespan of a portable charger
Become a charging chill master:
Avoid recharging the battery once it has been fully utilized. When the battery level falls below 20%, recharge it. Charging can be completed when the battery exceeds 80%.
Choosing the right cable:
Different power banks may have different cables. Different brands of power banks may require different charging cables. When you buy a power bank, it is best to use cables from the same brand to reduce the burden on the battery.
Temperature matters:
Try to store the power bank in a dry place, such as a drawer or cabinet. Try to avoid placing it in direct sunlight.
Give it a charging break:
While it may be tempting to have fully charged at all times, it is actually preferable for the battery to deplete on sometimes. Consider letting your phone rest every now and again. Aim for a full discharge every few months to keep the battery in good condition.
Upgrade wisely:
If your power bank has been used for several years and has been damaged, you can consider upgrading the battery version. Some batteries can support upgraded versions to obtain a longer service life. Don‘t almost forgot to consider the local recycling regulations for the disposal of used power banks.
By following these easy guidelines, you can turn your it from a potential drain on your day to a dependable charging companion for years to come!
