There are a lot of portable power stations on the market these days, but how do you know which one to buy? Before shopping, ensure you understand what makes a good power bank. Here are some things to consider:
• Battery life
The longer your battery lasts, the better. Look for a power bank that has at least 25 percent more capacity than what you need in your emergency kit. Some models have up to 50 percent more ability than others.
• Charging speed
You do not want to have to wait forever for your phone or tablet to charge when there is an emergency! A fast charger will only take about 2 hours to recharge this device fully.
• Size
The smaller this device is, the easier it will be for you to carry around with you anywhere! Make sure it fits comfortably in your pocket or purse.
