Havit H584 Slim Design Fast Charging PowerBank 10000mAh

Power bank battery technology

All power banks use rechargeable batteries based on lithium technology. Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries are most commonly used for power banks but don’t be surprised if other types start to hit the market before long. Battery technology is key to many new developments: everything from mobile phones to electric vehicles, and as a result, it is quite likely there will be some spin-offs into power banks.

The two technologies that are currently used have slightly different properties:

• Lithium-ion:   Lithium-Ion batteries have a higher energy density, i.e. they can store more electrical charge in a given size or volume, and are cheaper to manufacture, but they can have issues with aging.
• Lithium-polymer:   Lithium-polymer power banks do not suffer from aging to the same extent so are a better choice. However, they are more costly to manufacture and as a result, they may not suit all budgets. Sometimes it may be that it is best to spend less, especially if they are likely to be accidentally lost or left in places.

Both forms of power bank work well, but it is a balance between cost and performance.
