Many charging options have been created for mobile phones in recent decades. Previously, the battery could be removed from most mobile phones and charged independently. Thus, users normally prepare extra portable batteries when they travel. Accordingly, when one of the batteries went out of power, users just needed to replace the battery easily. However, the battery is not removable anymore after several years because mobile phone manufacturers have changed their designs (the battery is embedded completely), and then, extra options come out: power banks, fast chargers, and even wireless battery chargers. In this article, we will explore more about these charging options.
Power Banks
At present, the sales of power banks are still maintaining at a high level, indicating a huge demand. But why do mobile phone users love to keep a power bank? Firstly, carrying a power bank is easy (it is normally smaller than your mobile phone). Instead of bringing a wallet, carrying a power bank seems more useful. In addition, some power banks come with their own charging cables, so users don’t need to carry extra cables in this way. However, a power bank won’t solve all your problems. It is small and easy to carry, meaning that the capacity will not be significantly huge, and some power banks made of low-quality materials may even explode. Another drawback is that the power bank will charge your mobile phone very slowly, and you need to wait for a longer time compared to charging the mobile phone with a charger. Furthermore, power banks are not always safe. Unlike the famous brands, some other small manufacturers use lower-quality materials to save cost, and the power banks could explode in a hot environment.
Fast Chargers
Due to the slow development of mobile phone battery technology, extending the usage time has become a new innovation topic. So, shortening the charging time is also vital, and manufacturers started to aim at fast chargers. To achieve better a outcome for fast charging, the coordination of the chip, cable, and charger is essential and necessary. Normally, there are two solutions to reach a fast charging process: High Voltage Low Current and Low Voltage High Current. Therefore, it is also essential to pick the right fast charger to meet the charging requirements of your mobile phone.
Wirless Battery Chargers
Sometimes, it is not convenient to plug in our mobile phones when we need to charge (the charging port may be occupied by earphones or others). Then, a wireless battery charger may be a suitable option. For instance, the iphone wireless charger supports fast charging (no explosion is reported although the heating issue persists), which has contributed to the growing sales volume in recent periods. Moreover, another advantage to using a wireless battery charger is the low price. Since all wireless battery chargers are compatible with qi standards, there tends to be little variation, which has resulted in a plunge in the cost. Therefore, users could prepare extra charging pads at an affordable price.
Conclusion
In conclusion, many charging options for mobile phones have been developed. First of all, carrying a power bank is a flexible way to charge mobile phones when traveling. Meanwhile, fast chargers are available to meet the market demands by shortening the charging time. Finally, the wireless battery charger offers great convenience when the charging port is occupied by earphones or others. Since the cost of the charging pad is cheap, adding extra charging ports is affordable to most users.
