Comparison BASEUS Amblight 65W 30000 vs BASEUS Bipow 20W 30000

The total number of USB-A ports for charging connected gadgets. This type is gradually being replaced by USB type C, however, most models still use USB-A as the main output. This is also indicated by the number of corresponding ports. Classic are 2 USB-A outputs. However, there are also compact models for 1 output, and more impressive ones with 3 and 4 USB-A(even more).

The maximum power that the power bank, theoretically, is capable of delivering to one rechargeable device. Usually, this power is achieved under the condition that no other device is connected to the battery (although exceptions to this rule are possible). And if you have ports with different charging currents or support multiple fast charging technologies, this information is given for the most powerful output or technology.

For modern power banks, a power of 10 watts or less is considered quite low; among other things, it usually means that the device does not support fast charging. Nevertheless, such devices are inexpensive and often turn out to be quite sufficient for simple tasks; Therefore, there are many models with similar specs on the market. The power of 12 – 15 W is also relatively small, 18 W can be called the average level, 20 – 25 W and 30 – 50 W is already considered an advanced level and in some solutions this parameter may exceed 60 W.

In general, higher power output has a positive effect on charging speed, but in fact there are a number of nuances associated with this parameter. Firstly, not only the power bank, but also the gadget being charged should support the appropriate power — otherwise the speed of the process will be limited...by the specs of the gadget. Secondly, in order to use the full capabilities of the power bank, it may be necessary for it to be compatible with certain fast charging technologies (see "Fast Charging").

The total charge power provided by the power bank on all connectors overnight - when devices are connected simultaneously to all charging ports.

This parameter is given due to the fact that the total charge power does not always correspond to the sum of the maximum powers of all available ports. The built-in battery of a power bank often has its own limitation on the output power. Therefore, for example, in a model with two 18 W USB ports, each total charge power can be the same 18 W. Note that the distribution of power among the connectors may be different: in some models it is divided equally, in others it is divided in proportion to the maximum current strength (if it differs on different ports). These nuances should be clarified using the detailed characteristics of the charging connectors.

If you plan to regularly use all power bank connectors at once, you should pay attention to this indicator.

USB type C is a popular type of USB connector characterized by its small size, reversible design, and fairly advanced (in theory) capabilities. If there are several connectors of this type, the first one is considered to be capable of delivering more power.

It is characterized by the rated power supplied by the power bank when a load is connected to the first or only USB type C output and the current strength. The speed of the charging process directly depends on the power. It is traditionally calculated by multiplying the current by the voltage; However, the standard voltage for USB power is 5 V, so current is considered to be the main indicator of power.

The magnitude of the charging current directly determines the power supplied to the device being charged - and, accordingly, the maximum speed of the process (in practice, it may be lower if the device being charged has strict restrictions on the charge current). Power is also determined by the supply voltage (the number of watts is calculated by multiplying amperes by volts); While the standard USB output voltage is 5V, many fast charging technologies (see below) use higher voltages. Therefore, in the notes to this paragraph, the maximum power on the USB type C connector is also indicated.

As for specific values, the most popular option for USB type C outputs in modern power banks is 3 A. There are also other values - both sma...ller ( 2.4 A, 2.1 A and 2 A) and larger ones - but noticeably less frequently.

A standard USB A port is characterized by the rated power supplied by the power bank when a load is connected to the first or only USB A output and the current strength. If there are several connectors of this type, the first one is considered to be capable of delivering more power.

The speed of the charging process directly depends on this indicator. Power is traditionally calculated by multiplying current by voltage; However, the standard voltage for USB power is 5 V, so current is considered to be the main indicator of power.

The charging power and, accordingly, the speed of the process depend on the current strength. Nowadays, on USB ports, a current of 2 A or 2.1 A is considered basic and quite modest, 2.4 A and 2.5 A are average, 3 A and more are noticeably above average, and certain fast charging technologies allow you to achieve values of 4 A. 4.5 A and 5 A. However, it is worth considering that to operate at high current, such an opportunity must be provided not only in the power bank, but also in the gadget being charged. So when purchasing a model, it doesn’t hurt to check whether the devices being charged suppo...rt high charge currents.

It is also worth noting two nuances associated with the presence of multiple USB charging ports. Firstly, they may differ in the current they produce. This allows you to select the optimal connector for each device: for example, to quickly charge a tablet with a capacious battery, it is desirable to have a higher current, and a device with a low charging current can be connected to a “weaker” port, so as not to create unnecessary load on the battery and controller. The second caveat is that if all USB connectors are used simultaneously, the current supplied by each of these connectors may be lower than the maximum; in other words, not all power banks allow you to simultaneously use USB ports at the maximum possible power. You can understand whether such a possibility exists by looking at the charge power (see below); if the charge power is not indicated, you should refer to detailed documentation from the manufacturer.
