How long does it take to charge?

The charging time of a power bank or smartphone depends on several factors, such as the capacity, the maximum charging power, and the charger or cable used.

How long does it take to charge a power bank?

On average, it takes 3 to 8 hours to fully charge a power bank. Smaller models (e.g., 5,000 mAh) are fully charged in 2-3 hours, while larger models of 20,000 mAh or more often need 6 hours or longer. Fast charging (e.g., USB-C, Power Delivery, or Quick Charge) can speed things up considerably, provided the power bank and charger support it.

How long does it take to charge a smartphone using a power bank?

Most smartphones charge within 1 to 2 hours using a power bank, depending on the charging capacity. If you use a power bank with fast-charging technology like Power Delivery or Quick Charge, your smartphone can be largely charged within 30 to 60 minutes.
