What is a Power Bank?

-

Running out of battery can be a big problem, especially if you may not be able to use the wall socket to charge your phone. Cue mobile power! Mobile power keeps your phone fully charged without an outlet, so you never miss a selfie opportunity or a call from mum.

It's time to charge up and learn all about mobile power from what they're used for, the different types and why you need a Power Bank

When was the first mobile power made?

The first portable mobile power supply was created in 2001 by a Chinese company called Pisen. The original design was two AA batteries cobbled together by circuitry! It was first publicly unveiled at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The first mobile power supply was bulky and had a short battery life. Today, there are more complex, compact designs with much longer battery life. Most modern mobile power supplies fit in the palm of your hand and charge your smartphone a few times before the battery runs out.

What is the purpose of a Power Bank?

The purpose of a mobile power is to charge your battery-powered electronic devices when you're on the go! Mobile power can be small enough to fit in your pocket, or larger in capacity.

Mobile power is used to charge mobile phones, tablets, speakers and even laptops! If you can plug it into the wall to charge it, then the mobile power will probably be able to charge it.

What Does mAh Mean?

mAh stands for milliampere hours. It is the unit of measurement used for electricity, especially batteries. A battery with a higher mAh will have a longer charge and battery life.

For rechargeable batteries in mobile power, mAh shows how much power the battery can hold and how long it can power another electronic device before it needs to be charged.

How do I know the capacity of my mobile power?

Before you invest in a mobile power supply, you need to know how long the battery will last. Knowing the capacity of your mobile power will help you ensure you get the right one for your needs. Use the formula below to find the approximate battery life of your mobile power.

The Bottom Line

A power bank can make a huge difference while camping, travelling, or attending a festival. You never know when you might be stuck without a wall outlet, so keeping a power bank nearby can save you in the long run.

Deep cycle batteries   are designed to provide a continuous flow of power over an extended period. Unlike starting batteries that deliver a quick burst of energy to start an engine, deep cycle batteries are built to withstand deep discharges and subsequent recharges. They are commonly used in car, marine, golf cart, and renewable energy applications. Steps to Charge a Deep Cycle Battery in a Car Step 1: Safety precautions Before attempting to charge a deep cycle battery, it's essential to take safety precautions. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area, wear protective gloves and safety goggles, and keep any open flames or sparks away from the battery. Step 2: Assess the battery condition Before charging, inspect the battery for any signs of damage or leaks. Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free from corrosion. If you notice any issues, it's advisable to address them before proceeding with the charging process. Step 3: Determine the battery's state of charge T...

Lithium batteries replacing sealed lead acid in float applications

  It is extremely typical for lithium batteries to be positioned in an application where a shantytown battery used to be maintained on a floating fee. There has been some problem, whether this is secure for lithium batteries. It is usually appropriate to make use of a basic continuous voltage SLA charger with our lithium batteries, as long as it abides by particular requirements. As a side note, some clever or multi-stage shanty town battery chargers have an attribute that detects an open-circuit voltage (OCV). An over-discharged lithium battery that is in defense mode will have an OCV of 0. This type of charger would presume this battery is dead as well as would not attempt to charge it. A battery charger with a lithium setup will attempt to recuperate or "awaken" an over-discharged lithium battery. Long term storage space If you need to maintain your batteries in storage for a prolonged duration, there are a few things to think about as the storage space needs are various f...

How Does Car Start/Stop Technology Work?

Starting a car eats up more fuel than letting it idle for an hour. While cold starts tend to suck down a fair amount of gas when you first turn the ignition key, it’s the exact opposite when the engine is at optimal running temperature. This is why so many new car manufacturers are incorporating start/stop technology into their automobiles. The Society of Automotive Engineers ran a study that found that modern stop/start systems actually help increase fuel economy by over eight percent when running in heavy traffic. Over time, this can add up to a tremendous amount of fuel—and money—savings. Read on to learn more about how to stop/start technology works and one critical component of that system that uses more power than you may realize.   Start/Stop Technology While each car manufacturer has its own proprietary system, they all work very similarly. When you apply the brakes, and your car comes to a complete stop, the ECU cuts both fuel and spark, thereby instantly shuttin...
