Power Bank & Charging Writers

What We Cover

Power banks, USB-C chargers, cables and portable power stations — how they behave on a commute, a flight or a three-day trip, not just on the spec sheet.

How We Read Specs

We convert mAh to watt-hours and explain why a 20,000 mAh power bank usually puts only about 12,000–13,000 mAh into a phone battery.

Key Features

Real-World Capacity

What part of the printed capacity actually reaches your device, and which losses (voltage conversion, heat, cable) eat the rest.

Charging Standards Explained

USB-C Power Delivery, PPS and Quick Charge in plain words: which one your phone, tablet or laptop can really use.

Buying Checklists

Pick a power bank by device, trip length and airline rules — including the 100 Wh carry-on limit most airlines apply.

Safety First

How to recognise swelling, overheating and inflated capacity claims before they damage a phone or a bag.

Kept Up to Date

We revisit guides when models, prices or charging standards change, and note what changed.

Honest Trade-offs

Every product has limits. We list them next to the strengths — including for products we link to.

The People Behind the Guides

Meet Our Authors

Danilo Santos

Power Stations & Laptops

IT specialist from Manila who has spent most of his career keeping office laptops and networks running. Covers portable power stations, 20,000 mAh+ power banks and USB-C laptop charging — and whether a 100 W port really carries a work laptop through a three-hour brownout.

Mark Dela Cruz

Phones, Wearables & Fast Charging

Software developer from Quezon City who works from co-working spaces with a phone, smartwatch, earbuds and laptop on one charger. Writes about multi-port power banks, GaN chargers and why a phone may pull only 18 W from a “65 W” power bank.

Grace Mendoza

Value & Everyday Picks

Office manager from Cebu who buys power banks for a whole team and a family of four. Compares price per watt-hour, warranty terms and which extras are worth paying for, so a power bank lasts longer than one rainy season.

Lara Reyes

Student & Travel Gear

University student in Manila who keeps a phone, tablet and earbuds alive between classes and on long commutes. Covers compact power banks under 10,000 mAh, budget picks and airline power bank rules for students flying home.
