So according to poweryourgadget.com, about ninety percent of all people who buy a Power Bank usually start with the capacity as the first and most important feature. Capacity basically means the amount of energy that can be stored into the power-bank, which also means the amount of energy you can use in order to fully charge your mobile devices while hiking, traveling or being anywhere where electricity sources are not available.

Obviously, different devices will require different amounts of energy in order to be completely charged. Which means that if you are someone who doesn’t worry as much about having their smartphone charged, but uses a lap-top really frequently either for work or something else, you might be in need for a much larger capacity Power Bank.

Next, choosing by the Input and Output options. Although almost all of the Power Banks today are really advanced and have tons of options for Input and Output, some of them might be lagging a few years behind, so always make sure that the Power Bank you’re purchasing has the adequate Input and Output method for your device.

Size matters. When purchasing a Power Bank, the size of it is really important, simply because you will most likely be taking this thing with you everywhere you go. The main idea of Power Banks in the first place was to be small, compact and extremely useful, so buying something that has the size of a generator is really contrary, right? Make sure to always choose smaller and more efficient ones.

Last but not least, the price and quality of a Power Bank. The price will always vary a lot due to the different brands and companies that manufacture them, but most of the times it will be determined by the capacity and a few other specifications like time required to fully charge, etc. Make sure that you choose something that seems most worth for your money.
