Want To Choose A Lipstick Power Bank? Here Are 7 Factors To Consider

By Johny Jacson


If your car stops functioning in an isolated place, you would probably use your device to contact someone for help. But what if your gadget doesn't have any remaining power? In times like this, you should have a lipstick power bank with you.

6 pros of a lipstick power bank:

The gadget's battery capacity should be equal to or less than the capacity of the lipstick power bank. For example, an iPhone has a battery capacity of 1,432 mAh.

These 4 batteries are the lead acid, the NiMH, the alkaline and the NiCd batteries.

The power bank's capacity must be lower than the gadget's battery capacity.

This is applicable only if you're willing to wait for your gadget to be fully charged for more than 4 hours. For fast charging time, the power bank's capacity should always be higher than or equivalent to the gadget's battery capacity

Type of Battery

Its physical dimensions are 4.3 inches, 0.9 inch and 0.9 inch. It has a weight of 68 grams and a square shape.

Lithium polymer is an expensive battery that's manufactured from aluminum. It sends 4.20-4.35 volts to fully charged devices and 2.7-3.0 volts to discharged gadgets. It typically charges only cell phones and can withstand a temperature of 0-60 degrees Fahrenheit.

A lipstick power bank without certifications is not safe to use. The certifications obtained from the CE (Conformit Europene), CC (Federal Communications Commission), and the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) are proof that the power bank contains important components.

These components are what prevent the power bank from short circuiting, which can lead to fire.

A lithium-ion battery is similar to the lithium ion polymer battery.

The lipstick power bank charges gadgets that need an input volt of 5-24 V. A laptop computer is an example of a gadget that requires an input volt of 12-24 V.

It can charge gadgets that can connect to a USB port and a mini-USB port.

Function of LED Indicator

A power bank can charge gadgets that need different input volts.

Yes, as long as it's compatible with the gadgets. But the gadgets' input volt and the input volt provided by the lipstick power bank can affect the charging time.

For instance, if a power bank delivers an input volt of 5 V to a laptop computer that needs to receive an input volt of 24V, the charging time may take longer. If a power bank delivers an input volt of 5 V to a smart phone that requires an input volt of 5V, the charging time will be lessened.

Additional Features

Lipstick power bank disadvantage:

This protector also cuts off electricity when the gadget is fully charged. The electricity cut-off prevents the power bank's life from decreasing because of overcharging.
