Want To Choose A Lipstick Power Bank? Here Are 7 Factors To Consider

By Johny Jacson


Lipstick power banks have overtaken electricity outlets due to their added convenience. Let's clear up the following misconceptions that revolve around power banks:

Capacity of the Power Bank

The gadget's battery capacity should be equal to or less than the capacity of the lipstick power bank. For example, an iPhone has a battery capacity of 1,432 mAh.

This iPhone can be charged by a power bank that has a capacity of 1,432 mAh or more. Power banks have a capacity that range from 800 mAh to 5,600 mAh.

Type of Connector

Some power banks come with additional connectors for different gadgets. These connectors are the USB and the micro-USB.

If the LED indicator does not light up, the power bank isn't charging the gadget.

Lithium polymer and lithium ion are the two kinds of batteries that a lipstick power bank may contain. These batteries take 2-4 hours to charge a gadget and they typically cost around $100.

Lithium polymer is an expensive battery that's manufactured from aluminum. It sends 4.20-4.35 volts to fully charged devices and 2.7-3.0 volts to discharged gadgets. It typically charges only cell phones and can withstand a temperature of 0-60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lithium ion is a cheap battery that can withstand a temperature of 4-140 degrees Fahrenheit (-20-60 degrees Celsius). It sends 0.25-5.00 volts to devices.

When not in use for a long time, the lithium ion battery suffers damage that's caused by aging. Lithium ion battery requires minimum maintenance. It usually charges notebook laptops, tablets, and mobile phones.

Type of Volt

They do not have similar qualities. The lithium-ion battery produces a temperature of -20-60 degrees Celsius, whereas the lithium ion polymer battery produces a temperature of 0-60 degrees Fahrenheit. It's difficult to differentiate an original power bank from a counterfeit one.

Gadgets that need an input volt of 5 V are smart phones, digital cameras, iPods and PSPs. Tablets, SLR cameras and video cameras are examples of devices that need an input volt of 8-12 V.

Function of LED Indicator

Some power banks use one LED color to determine the gadget's remaining power level, while some power banks use two LED colors. The most common LED colors that a lipstick power bank may use are blue, green, and red. The gadget is still charging when the LED indicator becomes red. The indicator becomes blue when the gadget is fully charged. The indicator turns green when the gadget has remaining power.

Valid Certifications

A lipstick power bank is an authentic one if it comes with FCC (Federal Communications Commission), CE (Conformit Europene), UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) certificates. It must also have a minimum warranty of 1 year.

The charging time may also be shortened if the lipstick power bank delivers an input volt of 24 V to a smart phone that needs an input volt of 5 V.

The lipstick power bank has short circuit protection and overcharge protection. The power bank has an IC protector that cuts the power supply to prevent short circuits.

This protector also cuts off electricity when the gadget is fully charged. The electricity cut-off prevents the power bank's life from decreasing because of overcharging.
