VIII - Related questions
How do you choose an external battery? First, take stock of your needs. Does the power bank need to be compact enough to fit in your pocket, or does capacity matter more than size? How many times do you want to recharge your smartphone (check its capacity in mAh)? Do you need fast charging? Finally, factor in your budget, and with our help you'll know which external battery to choose.
All external batteries recharge via a simple USB port. Whether it uses a micro-USB cable or a USB-C cable (rarer), any power bank can be recharged on the same wall charger as your smartphone, or on any device with a USB port, such as your computer. This simplicity explains the great success of this type of battery.
External batteries are most often made up of one or more cells (often 18650-type cells) wired in parallel, with a sophisticated electronic circuit (managing charge and discharge, with integrated protection circuits), all enclosed in a protective shell. Their characteristics generally depend on the number of cells and the electronic circuit.
