Do not use your gadget while charging it with a power bank. It will ruin both.

I have two powerbanks and I use them during emergency situations only such as sudden power outages, etc

[darrensurrey]

I've got 6.

1: I usually have one in my work bag to charge up when I'm running a tai chi or mindfulness class.
2: One in my overnight bag fully charged in case.
3 and 4: In my car, charging on a spare power outlet, a spare one ready to swap out. When it's full, it replaces (2)
5: A powerful one to boost a car battery if my battery is flat.
6: Spare for who knows.

I probably need help.

Powebanks are always our help whenever we cannot access electricity at that very moment but I think they do destroy the phone batteries considering the pace at which they charge and in case we charge our phones oftenly using power banks. Would you recommend the use of power banks.

I am using Redmi power bank. I use this power bank also for my electronic projects, it's handy and very easy to use.

I have one power bank to stand by all the time but I prefer in-car charger which able to re-charge my handpone when I am driving.

Power banks are manufactured to aid the user of his dying phone due to lack of power and there is no available source on hand to charge the said phone. In any way, they are very useful in times of dire needs and in emergency cases.

But my concern, why is it this power said to destroy the phone when using it? Is it true? Or is it just a presumption? In my own point of view, charging a dead phone or dying phone to power bank won't practically overcharge it. And the power stored in the said gadget is not as powerful as in the direct current. Therefore, in any manner, it won't affect the life of the mobile phone. Am I not right?

[Tracy04]

I have powerbanks but now I don't really use it since my smartphone usage are not that much too.

[Katriona_22]

I always see to it that it is always fully charge as we were living in a place where brown out always takes place.

[ceci]

I had a power bank that claimed can be re-charged via sun light...just put under the sun during hot days, but the power bank doesn't function well, headache!

They're crap unless you have a massive panel. The only thing they're good at is not losing charge over time but that was never much of an issue anyway with my other powerbanks. Fortunately, I got this solar charger bank for just £5.

[SUPERSINGH]

I would love to buy one and looking for a great deal, a few weeks ago I missed a deal wherein I would have purchased the power bank in 99 INR whose original price is 599 INR

[iamdahmmy]

I have never used one before.. But its a necessity especially in a country where their is epileptic power supply

That's an impressive discount. What was the charge "size"?

[MABEL]

I'm planning to have one. I think it's important during emergencies. It's designed for traveling.

[anilmr]

I usually carry power bank with me only when I embark on some long travel, but only as back-up source for my phone. I rarely had to use it, since my phone battery easily lasts more than a day when it is fully charged. But I am not sure whether using it causes any harm to the mobile phone.

[darrensurrey]

I've just learnt about the Oukitel K6000 Plus mobile phone - it has a 6000mAh battery and can be used to charge other phones!

[MuhammadZ]

I believe that they do absolutely no harm to the phones battery, provided that it was manufactured by a reputable company. Always check the company before purchasing electronic equipment.

[rakski]

Power banks are very useful. It is like a pocket size generators.
