How Long Does a Power Bank Last? (Explained!)
On average a power bank will last between 3-5 years. The lifespan of a power bank depends on how often you use it, the quality of the device, and how use store it when not using it.
Most power banks last 3 to 5 years or 300 to 1000 charge cycles, depending on their battery type, quality, and usage habits. But what exactly does that mean? Charge cycles refer to the number of times your power bank can be charged and discharged before its battery capacity degrades significantly.
To prolong the lifespan of a power bank battery, follow these essential tips: Transitioning from these core suggestions, it is important to understand why each tip contributes to a longer battery life. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Avoiding extreme temperatures helps maintain the integrity of the power bank battery.
10,000 mAh Power Bank: This capacity often lasts longer and can typically support 2-3 years of moderate use. 20,000 mAh Power Bank: High-capacity power banks may support even longer use, often 3-4 years with average use due to fewer complete discharges per cycle. Several factors influence how long a power bank charger lasts.
A fundamental metric for how many cycles does a power bank have is its rated number of charge cycles. A charge cycle is defined as the process of using 100% of the battery's capacity, which can be accumulated over multiple uses. For example, using 50% of its capacity one day and 50% the next completes one full cycle.
