What Size Power Bank Do I Need?

When you are looking to buy a branded power bank, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of choice there is in the promotional product market, especially when it comes to the range of styles, shapes and battery sizes available.

So what battery size do you or your client actually need your branded power bank to be?

In our handy infographic below, we’ve summarised roughly how much charge the popular sizes of branded power bank will give the average smartphone.

What size power bank do I need?

• 2200mAh - 2500mAh power banks will "top up" the charge level on an average smartphone once. 2200mAh is the most popular battery size for promotional power banks used as giveaways at events, and the Edge  fit the bill perfectly. The ever popular Credit Card Power Bank boasts a generous print area and a slightly larger 2500mAh battery, giving you a bit more for your money, However, if you're looking to fully charge one of the latest smartphones, be aware that modern phones have battery sizes from around 4000-5000mAh, so a 2200mAh or 2500mAh power bank will only provide a boost rather than fully charging your phone.

• 4000mAh - 5000mAh power banks will charge the average smartphone fully 1 - 1.5 times. Obviously, it depends on the size of the battery in the device itself (some newer smartphones such as the latest iPhone have larger, more powerful screens demanding more battery power to keep them running!) However, the Mono 4000 or the Pocket Pro 5000 power banks offer a generous battery size whilst still being incredibly good value for money, so you know they will be treasured by the end user to keep their latest smartphone fully charged.

• 8000mah – 10,000mAh power banks will charge the average smart phone up to 3 times, as well as charging larger devices such as iPads and other tablets at least once. With bigger battery sizes comes bigger costs, but if you’re looking for a premium product that your customer won’t ever want to leave the house without, then the Eco Pro 10000 power banks are the one for you. The Eco Pro 1000 Power Bank is made from recycled plastic and has two USB ports to charge two devices simultaneously. Both of these larger capacity power banks have their advantages but to help you choose, why not request a free mock up with your own or your client's logo to see how these may look.

When you are purchasing branded power banks as a promotional giveaway, it may feel hard to stretch the budget past the entry level battery sizes, but when someone is going to be carrying your logo around in their pocket all day long and hopefully for months or years to come, you want to make sure your promotional power bank is useful and has enough juice to make sure they will never want to throw it away.

Save the day with a branded power bank and your customers will never forget your brand and who gave them a boost when they needed it the most!
