Same thing here with my S3.Ever since I started using power bank I've discovered that the battery doesn't last as it used to.I charge it every minute now.

Well one thing I know for sure is, Power bank is designed to charge your phone on the go and not designed to spoil it. I have being using a brand of power bank called "Solo" for over A year and I haven't had any issue with it. I use a blackberry z3, Samsung sduos and a blackberry bold 9780. I use the power bank to charge the 3 phones when the batteries are down and it does charge them perfectly

Please ensure that you buy an original power bank to avoid stress.

Guy u are complete Olodo. Where did you school. Who taught you this. Please stop spreading the virus in your brain. How much do u know about electronics and modern technology?
psucc:
Yes am sure.

Reason: Every phone charger has an inbuilt diodes that convert electric volts to the requirements of the phone components.

Whereas in the power bank this diodes are not there. Therefore, it can cause not only the battery to go bad but also may affect the phone itself in the long run.

Before using any backup battery, check voltage compatibility and the current rating of the batteries involved. imagine using a 5.7 unregulated voltage back up battery for 5v regulated battery, also forcing a 20a battery on 1500ma battery. guy! you are killing the lithium cells of ur battery. always ensure compatibility and avoid over charging. for me ooo, no to power banks cos. even phone engrs dont even no ratings talk less of the seller.

To whatever degree you may argue, remember that all phones do not carry the same charge volt and so their chargers are made to suit each requirement. Whereas the power bank is configured at a certain and constant voltage output.

Hence, it may either be higher or lesser than the phone requirement. Guess what the effect will be.
there is diode then, only constant.

Wow! shocked

"Using a phone while charging and on power bank mode destroys the battery"

Just hearing of that.

This is why I love NL cheesy

Does this mean I should ALWAYS switch off when charging my phone?
Cos sometimes unsolicited calls come in while charging the phone. undecided
Better.

Hi everyone....sorry I had to disturb u but I have to ask this o....I've been using power banks with my Samsung s3 just cause it's a work item for me and usually need it alive.

However I've noticed that am having to change batteries every month as often as I subscribe for data.

Please i need to know if the power bank is the one spoiling my batteries cause the batteries were actually bought in good conditions before it decides to charge backwards and gwt pregnant after....is someone experiencing this tooe


Yes!! As an insider. Fake low quality power banks can spoil your phone battery.

Because they don't have a logical chip that listens to your phone while it is charging it unlike a charger.

Many Chinese large MAH, cheap power banks using Chinese unbranded batteries and low quality circuits will kill your phone batteries or even cause them to blow.

Go for high quality power banks like;
1) Sony cycle energy
2) Original Xiaomi power banks.

These are internationally tested and approved.

Xiaomi power banks uses Texas Instrument chip that listens to your phone battery while charging it, with high quality LG or SAMSUNG batteries. Not unbranded Chinese batteries like some inferior power banks.

THIS IS WHY WE KEEP TELLING YOU PEOPLE TO BUY ORIGINAL QUALITY POWER BANKS LIKE XIAOMI, AND YOU PEOPLE KEEP RUNNING TO CHEAP CHINESE JUNKS THAT WILL CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD, BECAUSE THEY'RE CHEAP.

Contact Melon Technologies for original quality Xiaomi power banks.

call 08033689593 or whatsapp 08027147181.

God bless you as you hold on to truth, no matter the cost.

You cannot compare power bank charging with normal phone charging power bank is an emergency charger.

Power bank is good for phone batteries only that some batteries may not be compatible with some type of power banks.

Re: Does Power Bank Spoil Phones Battery by Anurugwo(m): 2:12pm On Feb 18, 2015
It has to do with the rated output voltage and current of the power bank and your phone battery. You can't be using rated output current of 2A when your phone accepts 1A. This will make your phone charge faster than normal and cause damage to battery/ decrease in lifespan.If your battery accepts 1A and you are charging with laptop/ a charger than gives a lower output say below 1A, then you are undercharging your battery and this also reduces the lifespan.
Always use the charger/power bank that gives or supplies the rated output that matches with your battery specifications

Power bank kills your phone battery gradually! In the long run....you battery life will start dropping gradually. You may not notice because you may just get used to it.
Re: Does Power Bank Spoil Phones Battery by Elkrypto(m): 2:46pm On Feb 18, 2015
No. The actual phone charger is in your phone. It
doesn't matter where the power comes from,
charging is always the same. Modern Lithium Ion and Lithium Poly cells do
benefit from being "topped off". There is no
lifetime penalty for charging before they're
depleted. In fact, letting a battery get too low
will reduce its lifetime. You count on the
phone's software to prevent the most extreme form of this, but it's far better to charge before
the battery dies. A typical Lithium battery will have between 300
and 500 full charge cycles. So if you let your
phone die every day, you could need a new
battery in less than a year. Most people don't do
that, and so it's more common to get two or so
years out of that cell. Hybrid ccars don't have dramatically different
batteries, but they only run through a fraction if
the battery's capacity. If you had a charger that
would only charge to about 80% of the battery's
capacity, and the phone cut off at 20% or so, the
battery might last a decade (assuming that power cycling is the only aging mechanism...
sone Lithium chemistries don't last more than
3-5 years even without any use). Of course,
you'd hate the battery life, and the phone
makers would eliminate one reason people
upgrade to new phones, so this is unlikely to happen.

power banks don't spoil phones. if your phone uses a 1A charger and you are using a power bank with 2A output, you are killing your battery. use the current ouput that's suitable for your battery.
