12 Best Power Banks To Charge Your Phone ASAP When It’s Running Out Of Juice

Best power banks in Singapore


It goes without saying that all of us here in Singapore heavily rely on our mobile phones to function daily. When you’re on the go, heading from meeting to meeting, nothing’s more annoying than suddenly running out of battery just as you need to call that Grab. That’s where power banks become our unsung heroes.

Since our lives are now highly digital, it makes sense that every Singaporean needs to have one on hand at all times. And this list of the best power banks to suit your budget and your needs will help with just that.


How to choose a power bank

Since there are thousands of power banks you can get at both physical and online gadget stores, choosing the right power bank can be a little bit of a headache. But you just need to remember the three most important things to look out for: size, battery capacity and wattage.

  • Battery capacity: as its name suggests, a power bank’s battery capacity – measured in mAh – determines how much it can charge before it runs out of juice. On average, smartphones these days have battery capacities around 4500mAh. This means that a power bank with 10,000mAh should last you about 2 charges if you’re just using it for your phone.
  • Wattage: this relates to how fast your power bank can charge your device. If you’re looking to fast-charge your smartphone, looking for a power bank with ports that are rated 18W and above should suffice. In contrast, the wattage needed to charge multiple or larger devices like laptops and tablets can range from 30W to 100W and beyond, so do check the rating on your own devices.
  • Size: as you might expect, the more powerful a power bank is, the bulkier it’ll probably be. Depending on your own needs, you can decide whether to fit a heavy-duty power bank into your everyday carry or keep it lightweight.
