There is an intense competition in the market of portable charging devices, commonly known as "power banks." This is related to the current time when stores and e-commerce platforms are offering advertising promotions with discounts ranging from 10% to 50%, with prices starting from approximately 30 to over 300 dirhams.
Portable charging devices vary in form and function. There are compact devices that directly connect to phone charging ports, while others require cables for the charging process. Additionally, there are devices that support wireless charging upon contact with the phone, and magnetic types that allow charging through simple alignment with the phone's charging device.
An expert in electronics sales emphasized the importance of adhering to some recommendations before purchasing a portable charging device. He pointed out that capacity is one of the key aspects, which should be considered when choosing such a device. It is recommended to select devices with a capacity ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 milliamp-hours. If the capacity is larger, for example, 20,000 or 30,000 milliamp-hours or more, it will be better for satisfying the needs of users, frequently charging their devices.
Furthermore, it is important to ensure that the device contains various cables for charging different devices. If the phone supports wireless charging, it is recommended to choose a device that supports this function, as it simplifies the charging process if necessary. It is also important to consider the size of the device in relation to the user's needs. If a person travels a lot or is on the go, they should preferably choose a smaller size but with high capacity charging capability, easy to carry and use during transportation.
One of the recommendations when purchasing is also the preference for devices from well-known and reliable manufacturers to ensure compliance with quality and safety standards. It is also important to ensure that the device supports fast charging if it is compatible with the technology used by most phones, especially since the majority of them differ significantly in battery capacity up to 20,000 milliamp-hours.
To ensure safe use of power banks, it is advised to follow several recommendations: do not leave the device under direct sunlight or near heat sources, avoid leaving the device connected to the charger after the charging process is complete, and do not leave the device without a charge for long periods to prevent battery damage.
Overall, the market for portable charging devices offers a wide array of products with various functionalities and prices, starting from 30 dirhams and reaching over 300 dirhams. Some of these devices exceed a capacity of 30,000 milliamp-hours.
