Glossary

Battery capacity

The capacity of a powerbank indicates the amount of energy it can store and is usually specified in two formats in the specifications — mAh and Wh. The mAh value is more familiar to most buyers and helps quickly understand the class of the model, while Wh more accurately reflects the total energy reserve and is more convenient for a more accurate comparison of devices. For example, a powerbank with 10000 mAh usually has about 37 Wh, a model with 20000 mAh — approximately 74 Wh, and a version with 30000 mAh — about 111 Wh. The higher these values, the more charges for a smartphone, headphones, watch, or other devices can be expected, but the larger, heavier, and usually more expensive the device becomes. At the same time, it is important to remember that the actual output is always lower than the nominal figures due to energy conversion losses. Therefore, capacity is one of the main parameters that immediately shows whether the powerbank is suitable for a day's backup or for more serious autonomous use.

Full charge time

The time required to fully charge a battery discharged “to zero”. Features of the charging process in different models may be different, respectively, and the time required for this may differ markedly even with the same capacity.

Fast-charging batteries tend to be more expensive. Therefore, choosing this option makes sense if you do not have much time to replenish your energy supply — for example, for hiking. However, keep in mind that charging at full speed may require a charger that supports certain fast charging technologies (see below).

It must also be said that in most modern batteries, the charging speed is uneven — it is highest at the several first percent from zero, then gradually decreases. Therefore, the time required to replenish the energy supply by a certain percentage will not be strictly proportional to the total claimed charge time; moreover, this time will depend on how much the battery is already charged at the time the procedure starts. For example, charging from 0 to 50% will take less time than from 50 to 100%, although both there and there we are talking about half the capacity.
