Power Banks

September 16, 2015   |  APPA Industry Information


There is a growing demand for power banks today, but there are differences!
When it comes to electronic devices, the absolute first priority is safety. Power banks differ from one another predominantly on the quality of the battery. This quality relates to the type of Lithium battery, cell grade, true capacity, regulated output voltage/current, and protection circuitry. In fact, 70% of the price can be related to the quality of the
battery.

POWER BANK NEEDS
WHY IS POWER BANK PRICING SO VARIED?
A full range of knockoff power banks without proper labelling or certification have now flooded the market. With the frequency of mobile power bank accidents increasing every day, and with ever-increasing demands being placed on them, power bank safety has become the number one factor in buying them.
Of course, poor performance and unhappy customers are just as much a risk for your business.
There have been cases of dishonest manufacturers using recycled batteries rather than new batteries, and even one where the units contained only a single battery, together with two bags of sand for weight!
Reliable importers of electronic equipment know the technical specifications, product standards,
and transportation restrictions for their products. Unfortunately, many Chinese suppliers are selling power banks originally made for the domestic Chinese market, which are rarely compliant with Australian and New Zealand safety
standards. Some lack overheating and overcharge protection – both of which are part of the regulatory scope in the
Australian and New Zealand market.
