External batteries have become extremely popular in recent years, and the reason for that is not far to look. Many of us don't even leave home without one of these. Being able to charge any smart device anywhere is a really good thing, especially since batteries are probably the fastest-wearing and most annoying part of any device. It's good when there's a power plug nearby, but that's not always the case, so external batteries, also popularly called powerbanks, usually come to the rescue
Advantages
Quality body
Large capacity
Wireless charging option
Compatibility with all types of devices
Disadvantages
Large weight and dimensions
The battery itself charges slowly
All of them are different, each of them has its own pluses and minuses, which is best reflected in their price. Some of them will charge a phone just once, while others will even recharge a small laptop several times. Personally, I mostly use them to charge console consoles, because every time the battery runs out, carrying it to the other end of the room and connecting it to the computer is really boring, and after connecting the console to the console itself, you have to be close to the TV by a meter, which is also not convenient.
This and other problems were solved by perhaps the best product of its kind that I have ever owned - the Trust Wireless Charging external battery, which I would like to tell our readers about today.
Design
Trust Wireless Charging doesn't look too fancy and looks exactly how many of us imagine a traditional external battery. Even the color chosen is black, which does not distinguish it from other similar devices. The body itself is made really solid and it feels great in the hand, and there is really no fear that it will stop working if you accidentally drop it on the ground. I would also like to mention the texture of the case, which is cross-scratched, which will not allow it to easily slip out of the palm. Overall, when you pick up the battery, it feels like you're holding a really high-quality item.
There's a plus sign carved into the top, which lets you know that there's a wireless charging port. There are three connectors on the back of the battery - USB Type-C, traditional USB Type-A and micro USB, which allow you to charge and discharge the battery through any of them. On one side there is a power button, and on the opposite side - lights that allow you to easily find out how much juice is still left in it and decide how many times you will be able to charge the smartphone's battery.
This battery really feels in the hand and not only because it is solid, but also because its weight reaches almost half a kilogram, that is 440 grams. Of course, we have no right to be angry with the manufacturers - how to achieve an impressive 20000mAh capacity.
Performance
Moving on to the technical parameters of this battery, it seems that the huge order will ensure that every device is saturated and even more than once. According to the manufacturers, such a power reserve will allow you to add up to 92 hours of operation to any smartphone. This fact is further sweetened by the fact that it can charge phones that support Qi charging. In short, if you have a newer, higher-end Samsung, Xiaomi, Apple, Huawei or OnePlus device, just place it on top of the Trust Wireless Charging, marked with a giant indented plus sign. This is definitely good news for those who have forgotten, lost or damaged their micro-USB, Type-C, Lightning or any other cable. For this, you won't even need to remove the smartphone from the case, if it is not thicker than 3 mm. in a word.
Trust Wireless Charging also features USB-A and USB-C ports, meaning it can charge other devices such as wireless headphones, tablets or even laptops (of course, this depends on the computer model and the subtleties of its charging). Those two connectors also offer fast charging, with USB-C up to 15 watts and USB-A up to 12 watts, respectively. Perhaps there are similar products on the market that offer higher power, but for external batteries, extremely fast charging is not a big plus - during it, more energy will be wasted in the form of heat, which will reduce the size of the energy reserve for charging.
It all sounds nice on paper , but how is it in reality? First of all, the external battery itself takes a really long time to charge, but once charged, you can really forget about connecting it to a socket again for a long time. First of all, it allows you to revive the smartphone more than once, for example, the iPhone 8 was able to be charged about 8 times, and the Nintendo Switch from 0 to 100% - even 3 times, and there was still about 20 percent left in the external battery itself. Admittedly, there were some issues with the latter, as the feature didn't work with a regular Type-C cable, but the cable included by Trust coped well. All other smaller devices, like wireless headphones or smart watches, didn't break a sweat at all and could be charged multiple times.
The main problem is that, like all external batteries, Trust Wireless Charging takes a really long time to charge to 100 percent. Perhaps the manufacturers could have added a more powerful block, because with the standard charger that most of us have, it will take more than one or even a couple of hours. Be that as it may, since this product will not need to be charged often, it can be tolerated to top up its energy reserves at night. In addition, slower charging is known to increase battery life.
