Tips for Choosing the Right Branded Power Bank

Not all power banks are created equal. When it comes to ensuring your custom promotional power banks connect with your audience in terms of design and convenience, there are a few things you’ll want to consider. 

First, you’ll want to think through how much charging capacity your power bank offers so it meets your audience’s needs. For example, a 10,000mAh charger can power most smartphones multiple times. 

Another thing you’ll want to consider is its compatibility with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Size and portability is another important feature and you’ll want to look for a compact design that’s easy to carry.

Look for power banks with built-in features or dual purpose designs, like stands, waterproof and dust-proof designs and more. The most important thing to look for when choosing a custom power bank is the quality. To help you find just the right charger, talk to your Gemnote rep.
