4 Tips when Buying an iPhone 6 Battery Pack

Smartphones today are effective pocket computers but being multi-talented comes with a cost of significant battery drain. Until the next battery innovation, people today opt to carry battery packs also known as power banks with them to be able to recharge their battery when away from the power outlets. When it comes to buying battery pack for iPhone 6, the capacity is not everything, here are tips on how to go about choosing one.

The capacity vs. portability

The capacity of the battery pack is one of the main aspect that you should look for when buying a battery pack. It is measured in mAh (milliampere-hour). The capacity of your iPhone 6 is also measured in mAh. The higher the capacity of the battery pack the better as you will be able to recharge the phone multiple times but this also means that it is pricier, bigger and heavier.

The input current of the battery pack

iPhone battery pack designed for smart phones output at most 1A (at 5V) over a USB port. This works fine but the phone takes longer to recharge compared to when charging it through a wall charger. This is because iPhone 6 is able to accept higher current, they can draw as much as 2A. Therefore, when buying a battery pack for iPhone 6, choose one that can output higher than 1A. Also, there is no harm in buying a battery pack with a higher powered port as the phone only draws what it requires and it will charge faster.

The number of ports

Most iPhone 6 battery packs have an inbuilt USB cable to save you the trouble of having to carry yours others have an inbuilt lightning cable instead to cater for iOS users. The battery packs with a lightning connector cost more than those with USB because they are specifically made for iPhones, iPod and iPad.

The higher capacity battery packs have multiple USB charging ports which means they cost more money. The advantage of having a battery pack with multiple ports is that you can charge many devices simultaneously.

The price vs. quality

Battery packs explode and the only way to prevent such an incidence is to only purchase from reputable dealers. Also, do not compromise on the quality to get a cheaper power bank, most dealers who sell their power banks at lower prices have cut corners on over charging, over heating or even the temperature protection to achieve the low price.
