How to choose power bank battery

The cell is the most important part of the mobile power supply. The quality of the cell basically represents the quality of the mobile power supply product.So this is the first choice. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries have the several on the market. Polymer batteries, batteries, aluminum shell, batteries, steel shell cylindrical metal case batteries (the most commonly used is 18650 cylindrical batteries).

Aluminum batteries are mainly used for mobile phone batteries.Bbatteries steel shell is too low-level basic need not, is mainly used as mobile power polymer batteries and cylindrical batteries, relatively speaking. Cylindrical cell price cost is lower, but the performance of polymer cell will be better, capacity and discharge platform and cycle times are better than cylindrical type, the most important is that the safety of polymer cell is significantly better than cylindrical cell, polymer cell is aluminum plastic film shell, no matter what the case will not explode, The cylindrical cell is a metal shell once abnormal charging and discharging may explode, causing physical injury to the user. Like exploding cell phone batteries, there is no way to prevent it, only to reduce the probability of it happening.

Therefore, the best choice of mobile power supply polymer cell. There is no need to take a mobile power supply to risk the explosion.

Large-shared charging station market

The leasing business of shared charging banks currently accounts for about 97.2 percent of the total transaction size, followed by advertising revenue. In 2019, the transaction scale of China’s shared charging bank leasing business reached 7.91 billion yuan, with a compound growth rate of about 44.9% in the next three years.The market scale of shared charging bank will further grow

How does the power bank enter the store

The first: free delivery
Get in touch with the local shared power bank brand through official website. Or contact the operation headquarters of the shared power bank brand to inform the merchant type, address, phone number, contact person and other information to apply for placement. Different merchant types can get different share ratios, generally between 30% and 50%. Merchants in this cooperation model do not need to pay any fees, but merchants have only one withdrawal entrance and no management authority.

The second: self-purchased equipment
In the early stage, many merchants used the operator to put in the equipment. But saw the income still considerable. And there was no after-sales problem. So they would buy the machine and do it by themselves, so that they could get all the income. The advantage of being an agent by yourself is that you have an independent management background, you can set the charging standard independently, and you can view the income data in real time. Generally, the cost can be recovered in one to two months. Of course, it will also be related to the type of merchant and the flow of people.

How to buy a power bank

Firstly, Battery. (Soft pack lithium batteries and 18650 )

Soft pack lithium batteries. Also known as a polymer cell. It is a paste-like battery that can be manufacture in a variety of shapes. The appearance of soft package on the market is more beautiful and rich in personality. Safety factor is higher, but go up the probability of bag, combustion is a bit bigger relatively.

18650.liquid lithium battery, 18 and 65 refers to the size of the cell, 0 refers to its cylindrical shape. Large capacity, up to 3000mAh but may explode, low safety factor. If the protective outer packing plate is attached, the probability of explosion will be greatly reduced.

Secondly, Protection plate.

The guard plate is design to automatically adjust when the power supply is overcharging or discharging. The charging function is automatically turne off after the battery is fully charged. The guard also improves the conversion rate and reduces the impact of resistance on charging.

Third, appearance.

I believe that the appearance is one of the primary factors when many friends buy mobile power supply. A stylish look can add a lot of fun. The higher the capacity in the same volume. The compact shape can highlight the portability of mobile power supply increase practicality.

Fourth, electrical parameters.

• Charging voltage and current: charging voltage generally requires 5V. Universal mobile phone adapter. The theory of charging current is that the bigger the better, the faster the charge. Pay attention to fever

• Cell capacity: general cell capacity is proportional to the volume. The larger the volume, the larger the capacity. Try to choose products with large capacity under the same volume.

• Output voltage, output current: the output voltage must require 5V. The discharging current theory is also to be the larger the better, the faster the charge. Be aware of heat issues and characteristics of digital products.
