Tired of Load Shedding? Power Your Day with the Right Power Bank

When the power goes out in Mauritius, being prepared isn't just about candles and flashlights—it's about staying connected. The right power bank can keep your phone, internet router, and even laptop running during extended outages. This guide will help you choose the perfect power backup solution for your needs and budget.

Understanding Power Bank Capacity: What mAh Really Means

A 20,000mAh power bank doesn't give you 20,000mAh of usable power. Due to energy conversion losses and device efficiency, expect about 60-70% of the rated capacity in real-world use.

Here's a quick capacity translation guide:
- 10,000mAh: "2-3 full smartphone charges"
- 20,000mAh: "4-6 smartphone charges or 1-2 tablet charges"
- 30,000mAh+: "Multiple device charges including some laptop support"

Fast Charging Technology: Why It Matters During Outages

When power returns are unpredictable, fast charging means you can quickly top up devices between outages. Look for Power Delivery (PD) and Quick Charge (QC) support.

Here are some TechVibe fast charging picks:

- Tranyoo T-F26 Power Bank: "20,000mAh with 18W fast charging"
- Tranyoo T-K14 Power Bank: "10,000mAh with LED display for precise battery monitoring"

Choosing the Right Size for Your Lifestyle

The Pocket Powerhouse (Under 10,000mAh): Perfect for daily carry, ensuring your phone never dies during commutes or short outages.

The Backup Beast (20,000mAh+): Ideal for load shedding preparation, capable of powering multiple devices through extended outages.

TechVibe Size Recommendations:

- Students: "Tranyoo T-K14 for campus and library use"
- Professionals: "Tranyoo T-F26 for all-day meetings and remote work"
- Families: "Multiple power banks of different capacities"

Powering More Than Just Phones

Tablet and Laptop Charging: Higher-capacity power banks with Power Delivery can charge some laptops and most tablets. Check your device's power requirements first.

Router and Essential Device Backup: Keep your internet connection alive during outages by powering your Wi-Fi router with a power bank using appropriate cables or adapters.

The Load Shedding Power Bank Calculator

Calculate Your Needs: Add up the battery capacities of all devices you need to power, then multiply by 1.5 to account for efficiency losses.

Example Calculation:
- Smartphone: 4,000mAh
- Tablet: 7,000mAh
- Total: 11,000mAh × 1.5 = 16,500mAh minimum power bank

Maximizing Power Bank Lifespan:
- Avoid complete discharges
- Store at room temperature
- Use certified cables
- Don't leave charging unattended for long periods

Load Shedding Specific Tips:
