Comparison Konfulon A25Q vs Choetech B653

The power capacity of the main USB-C port, which among USB-C connectors is typically the most powerful. This specification is especially important for smartphones with fast charging, tablets, portable consoles, and laptops that require increased power supply.

Values around 18 – 30 W are usually sufficient for fast charging smartphones, 45 – 65 W are suitable for portable consoles, some ultrabooks, and other more demanding devices, and 100 W and above are even designed for powerful laptops and heavy loads.

The power on USB-A1 port shows the maximum output power of the main USB-A port, which among USB-A connectors is usually the most powerful. Values around 10 – 18 W are typically sufficient for regular or fast charging of smartphones, 22.5 – 33 W are already interesting for faster charging of compatible models, while higher values for USB-A are significantly rarer than for USB-C. Compared to USB-A2, USB-A3, or USB-A4, it often makes more sense to connect the most demanding device to USB-A1 if maximum speed from this type of port is needed.

However, the USB-A format itself is already less promising today than USB-C, so such a port is more often used for smartphones, headphones, watches, speakers, and other mobile devices rather than heavy-duty applications like laptops.

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.

The power in watts at which the power bank is charged under normal conditions.

The higher the charging power, the less time it takes to charge (given the same battery capacity). For example, fast charging of a power bank typically means a charging power of 30W or more. However, this parameter does not directly affect compatibility with charging devices: modern portable batteries can work with chargers of both higher and lower power. In the first case, the battery controller will automatically limit the charging current, while in the second case, charging will simply take more time.

The time required to fully charge a battery discharged “to zero”. Features of the charging process in different models may be different, respectively, and the time required for this may differ markedly even with the same capacity.

Fast-charging batteries tend to be more expensive. Therefore, choosing this option makes sense if you do not have much time to replenish your energy supply — for example, for hiking. However, keep in mind that charging at full speed may require a charger that supports certain fast charging technologies (see below).

It must also be said that in most modern batteries, the charging speed is uneven — it is highest at the several first percent from zero, then gradually decreases. Therefore, the time required to replenish the energy supply by a certain percentage will not be strictly proportional to the total claimed charge time; moreover, this time will depend on how much the battery is already charged at the time the procedure starts. For example, charging from 0 to 50% will take less time than from 50 to 100%, although both there and there we are talking about half the capacity.
