In today's digitally-driven world, we are always on our gadgets. Whether you are an adventurer exploring off-the-grid landscapes or a city dweller constantly on the move, the struggle to keep your smartphone, tablet, and other gadgets juiced up seems unending.
Fortunately, portable chargers have emerged as a simple solution, offering a lifeline of power wherever we may roam. Here are some of the essential factors you need to consider when choosing a power bank.
1. Pay attention to the mAh capacity
When it comes to choosing a portable charger that truly delivers a reliable and long-lasting power supply, the mAh capacity is one crucial factor that stands out among the rest. Short for Milliamp Hour, this term refers to the measurement of a portable charger's capacity to store electrical energy. In simpler terms, the higher the mAh number, the more power the charger can hold and subsequently provide to your devices.
It is vital to evaluate your specific needs — are you an avid traveller who spends days exploring remote locations or are you a busy professional who relies heavily on your smartphone for work throughout the day? Understanding your usage patterns and the power demands of your devices will help you determine the optimal mAh capacity required.
2. Consider the size and weight
While it may be tempting to gravitate towards the largest mAh capacity available, it is important to strike a balance between power and portability. The size and weight of portable chargers tend to increase with higher mAh capacities, making them bulkier and less convenient to carry around.
To find the optimal balance, consider your lifestyle. Look for compact models with moderate mAh capacities if you are frequently on the road. These power banks can easily slip into your bag or pocket, ensuring convenience without compromising on charging capability. But if you are primarily using the charger in fixed locations, the size and weight may be of lesser concern. You can opt for a portable charger with a higher mAh capacity to accommodate multiple device charges or longer periods between recharges.
3. Avoid oddly-shaped and bulky designs
Simplicity can be truly powerful, especially when it comes to portable chargers. After all, it should live up to its name and be genuinely portable. When searching for the perfect portable charger, prioritise slim designs that effortlessly fit into any bag, enabling you to keep it with you and bring it out whenever you need it.
And if you are looking for one that you can definitely take anywhere, there is the Fuele Mini, designed to fit easily into your pockets.

5. Look out for smart features
