the main reason why people opt to buy a powerbank
and it has certainly grown a following in the past few years. Digital devices
are quite notorious for having low battery lives, which is why having one at
your disposal is like having a power plug wherever you go. Like all device, it
needs to be properly maintained so here’s how you should do it.

Powerbank Maintenance Tips
No. 1: Power Banks should not be exposed to
too much heat and humidity. It is common knowledge that electronic devices have
low waterproofing qualities. Humidity could damage the internal processors of
your power bank if it comes to contact with moisture.
It is also advised to
expose it to heat because it could lead to burnouts and electrical accidents.
Also it can shorten the life span of your power bank and can even cause
discoloration on plastic casing. So it is highly advised that you place your
power bank in a cool and relatively low humidity.
No. 2: Be careful how you
handle your device. This one is pretty obvious, but a lot of people still
forget that these devices are malleable. Yes, there are powerbanks that are
designed to handle drops and some extent of extrusion but you still need to
take the necessary precautions to avoid these situations.
Do not sit on it or put
too much weight on it because it could drastically damage the power of the
batteries. The internal components cannot withstand the rough handling, which
could destroy the internal circuit board.
No. 3: Avoid contact with
corrosive chemicals. It is only recommended by experts to clean your power
banks with an anti-static brush. Never use cleaning solvents or powerful
detergents because it could lead to corrosion and later on internal damages. If
you must clean your power bank because of grime or dirt, try using a cotton
swab dipped in anhydrous alcohol and scrub it all away.
A mobile battery charger is a device on its own, so it is vital that
you take good care of it so that it’ll have a longer lifespan and maintain the
quality of its performance.
