]]> Smartphones are getting bigger, and so is the role they play in our lives. From making online payments to taking meetings on the go to staying connected to our loved ones, we rely on our phones for nearly everything. But a small ‘low battery’ icon puts all that in jeopardy. 

Whether you’re someone who stays glued to your smartphone or a frequent traveller with bare minimum access to charging sockets, a mobile power bank is your BFF. It’s a portable charger that can offer you peace of mind whenever wall outlets are out of reach (or too far from your bed). 

Here, we break down how to choose the best power bank for mobile in five easy steps. At the end, you’ll also find our top recommendations. 

How to Choose the Best Power Bank for Your Smartphone

1. First, Determine the Right Capacity (mAh)

One of the first things you’ll see mentioned about any power bank is its capacity, which is measured in milliamp-hours (mAh). Most power banks have a capacity ranging from 10,000mAh to 20,000mAh. And most smartphones have a 4,000-5,000mAh battery. 

A 10,000mAh power bank is ideal for daily use, while a power bank with 20000mah is suitable for heavy use or travelling. For extended trips or charging multiple devices, power banks like Energyshroom PB665 Turbo X with 30,000mAh capacity are the best. 

2. Look for a Power Bank with Fast Charging

Let’s be honest, we have all gotten used to fast charging our phones. And fortunately, many of the latest power banks also support fast charging. You can find out how quickly the power bank can charge your phone by looking at its output (measured in watts). It should offer at least 18W to take your phone from 0% to 50% within minutes. 

3. Don’t Overlook Size and Portability

When you’re charging your phone on the go, the weight and size of your power bank matter a lot. You wouldn’t want to carry even a kilo of extra weight while you’re scaling mountains (or even climbing a flight of stairs). 

The best power bank for mobile in these scenarios is one that you can easily slip into your cargo pants or backpack, without it weighing you down. So, going for the highest capacity may not be the best course of action, especially if you plan to use the power bank mainly for travelling. 

4. Prioritise Smart IC Protection

Capacity, charging speed, and portability are all important factors to consider when choosing a mobile power bank. But what about safety? Your phone can overcharge, overheat or even short-circuit if the power bank is made with cheap materials. So, look for the ones with smart IC protection, like the Energyshroom PB435 Turbo, which comes with 12-layer protection. 

5. Consider These Features for Convenience

Once you’ve nailed down these key features, you can look at these add-ons that make a power bank easier to use. We’re talking about multiple ports, wireless charging, and pass-through charging. Our Energyshroom PB330 Pro Magnacharge is one such wireless power bank that checks all these boxes.
