Power banks

Buying a Powerbank?

Do you often find that your phone's battery runs out quickly? Or are you constantly stressed about whether you have enough battery percentage? Then it's time to get a powerbank. Powerbanks come in various sizes and shapes. There are powerbanks that easily fit in your pocket, allowing you to carry them around everywhere. With a powerbank, you can sometimes charge your phone up to 8 times.

Different Powerbanks

There are many different powerbanks, but essentially they all work the same way.

One of the most common powerbanks is the 20,000 mAh powerbank. This type is very popular because it can often charge your phone multiple times, up to 8 times for phones with smaller batteries. An example of a 20,000 mAh powerbank is our MOJOGEAR MINI XL 20,000 mAh EXTRA FAST powerbank. Another popular powerbank is the 10,000 mAh model. These powerbanks are often smaller, making them easier to carry.

In the MOJOGEAR range, we also have wireless powerbanks, which free you from needing a cable. These powerbanks are also suitable for wirelessly charging smartwatches. The downside of these powerbanks is that they charge much slower than those with a cable. An example of a wireless powerbank is the MOJOGEAR Wireless Phone+Watch 10,000mAh Powerbank.

We also have powerbanks integrated into tripods, like the Ulanzi BG-3. With this tripod, you can use your electronic device for an extended period while it's mounted on the tripod. This powerbank tripod works especially well with a Gimbal.

Finally, we have a powerbank with a capacity of 26,800 mAh. What's special about this powerbank is that it can provide a power output of 100W. This means that it can also quickly charge laptops. For example, it can charge a MacBook from 0 to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. This is ideal when you need to work for long periods on a laptop and don't have access to a power outlet.

Connectors on Powerbanks

All powerbanks come equipped with both a USB-C and a USB-A connection. This allows you to always charge your powerbank with the cables you have available. However, you should pay attention to the type of connection your phone has when charging with a powerbank. From now on, all Android phones and all iPhones newer than the iPhone 14 have a USB-C connection. All iPhones older than the iPhone 15 still have a lightning connection.

Tips on choosing the right power bank

• Capacity of the powerbank
• Use of the powerbank

• Which powerbank to choose

Which device(s) do you want to charge?

Each device has its own energy consumption, connections and supporting systems. There are many smartphones that support fast charging. We recommend that you check whether your smartphone supports Power Delivery (e.g. Apple) or Quick Charge (e.g. Android) so you will be sure you can fastcharge your smartphone or device with a power bank.

If you want to be able to charge multiple devices simultaneously, it is best to choose a power bank with multiple connections. This way, you can both charge your smartphone on a road trip for example. The MOJOGEAR power banks (except the MOJOGEAR MINI EVO) have 2 USB ports and 1 USB-C port so you can charge multiple devices at the same time.

What capacity powerbank do I need?

There is a big difference in energy consumption and charging time per device. Low-capacity power banks (up to 10,000 mAh) are more suitable for charging smartphones or action cameras (such as GoPro). If you want to charge a tablet or laptop, a power bank with a higher capacity (20,000 mAh or more) is required. A smartphone can be charged twice as often with a 20,000 mAh power bank compared to a 10,000 mAh power bank. A 20,000 mAh power bank, on the other hand, is heavier to carry.

What is the main use of the power bank?

To choose the right power bank, it is important to know why you need the power bank and when you will mainly use it. Do you want to be able to charge your smartphone during a festival or on holiday? Do you want to charge your devices on a shoot or while vlogging? Or do you want to be able to charge your tablet or laptop while working remotely?

In the overview above, you can see which power bank is best for different devices and situations. Make sure to keep the weight of the power bank in mind. The MOJOGEAR 20,000 mAh power banks has a large capacity, but is however heavier and larger than a 10,000 mAh power bank. The MOJOGEAR 10,000 mAh power banks easily fit in your pocket. Are you looking for a power bank to charge your laptop? Then we advise you to check out The MOJOGEAR 26.800 mAh Laptop power bank, which is specially designed for charging laptops.

Powerbank on an airplane

A power bank is essential to take with you on a trip. You will not have to worry about an empty battery, and you don’t have to depend on finding a socket. However, if you want to take a power bank with you on the plane, you are bound by a number of rules.

• Power banks are not allowed in the hold, only in hand luggage;
• You can bring a maximum of 27,000 mAh (100 watt hours);
• Maximum 2 power banks.

Tip: Make sure you have (the information on) the power bank with you at the airport. By doing so, you can prevent your power bank not being allowed on board and being confiscated by the security.

Which power bank should I choose?

You hopefully have a better idea which power bank is best for you. We understand that your choice also depends on price, quality and that you are curious about the opinion of others before making a purchase. You can read the reviews of others at the power banks in our webshop.
