Every year, we are seeing more pixels on smartphones
displays, more powerful SoCs, and other elements which increases energy
consumption. On the other hand, companies are struggling to make lithium
batteries provide a sufficient battery life, especially on flagship devices.
This is why power banks come in handy in order to keep our phones charged,
especially when there aren’t any sockets around. Haier, the Chinese consumer
electronics company, has just announced a new power bank which is one of the
most innovative ones. It is an innovative white power bank which houses its
cable, so you won’t have to carry it separately.
The new power bank by Haier is not so small (neither
so big if we consider its capacity), but it offers a high capacity of 20,000
mAh and a power input / output of 18W. The new external battery has a micro USB
input port, a USB Type-C bi-directional (it is an input and output port) and
two USB Type-A output ports. It supports a two-way fast charging technology
i.e. you can charge the power bank with fast charging technology as well.
The micro USB port supports 5V / 2A – 9V / 2A – 12V
/ 1.5A input standards, while the Type-C port supports 5V / 3A, 9V / 2A, 12V /
1.5A standards (input). Talking about the output USB-A and USB-C ports, they
support 5V / 3A, 9V / 2A and 12V / 1.5A input types. The power bank is
compatible with several fast charging technologies: among these, there are
Apple 2.4A, USB DCP, Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and 2.0, Samsung Adaptive Fast
Charging, Huawei FCP. Unfortunately, we still do not have any info about the
price of the new Haier power bank, neither about when it will be launched in
the market or its availability.
