Main characteristics of batteries: 

Capacity	An important characteristic is that the higher the capacity, the greater the amount of charge you can get;
Input/output current	Current strength when connecting the device (optimally 2-3 A);
Dimensions and weight	Weight and size mainly depend on the capacity, the higher it is, the larger and heavier the battery;
Batteries used	Two types are used: lithium-ion and lithium-polymer. The second has more advantages, the disadvantage is the risk of fire when overheated.

How to choose an external battery

When choosing an external battery, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:

Battery capacity 

The most important characteristic when choosing such a device. It should be based on user requests. The most optimal value is 5,000-6,000 mAh (you should choose a battery capacity that is 2-2.5 times larger than that of the device being charged). 

Current strength 

An indicator that reflects the efficiency of an external battery – that is, it shows how quickly the device will charge. For iPhone, the optimal value would be 2 A. 

Number of outputs 

When choosing a Power Bank for iPhone, you need to pay attention to the presence of a Lightning connector if there is no wireless charging. If you need to simultaneously charge several devices, you should look for a gadget with two or more outputs.
