Mobile makers have over committed and under-delivered on battery back-up, which is why power banks have become the new fad.Genius buys it like: I don’t subscribe to the `I’ll buy anything that’s cheap and Chinese’ school of thought because I want more than just the basics. My power bank should charge multiple devices simultaneously, not waste energy while charging the plugged-in device, and quickly charge itself and the devices. Then, it should automatically turn itself off when idle, should be certified for safety by safety certifications like EEE, 6 Way Circuit Protection or any other popular safety standard agency.
Techxpert: Sudip De, vice-president, Adata, says, “Unlike the power bank, your mobile device is not cheap, so, if you buy a faulty product, it will damage your device.”
