11 Powerful power banks you can buy right now
From work to social media to gaming to finances - we’re on our devices a lot. With limitations in battery size, you can either cut down on your usage or grab a great power bank to see you through the day (we like the latter).
- How often do we check our phones a day? Millennials are the most guilty with over 70 checks per day.
- Which smartphone lasts the longest? The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus runs a whopping 17 hours, although the new Galaxy Note 9 is supposed to last even longer.
- How can I conserve battery life? Make sure to set apps to not run in the background. Many smartphones also have low battery mode to help save battery life.
The original iPhone was released in 2007 and it set the bar for smartphones. Since then, our devices have only become thinner with better specs and more apps than you can imagine. That means one thing: we want to be on our devices more than ever.
As a result, our smartphones die faster than if we let them be. Unfortunately, we have yet to see a smartphone that can truly last all day with intense use, although the latest Samsung Unpacked event promised a lot with the new Galaxy Note 9. Instead, we’re left relying on power banks to see us through the day (and sometimes just the lunch hour).
But, don’t worry. We’ve got this list of the best power banks you can find, no matter your needs. Whatever your day brings, there’s a power bank for you.
