Key Terms

MAGSAFE

Description: MagSafe is a technology used for magnetic attachment of accessories to a smartphone. It provides a fast and reliable connection for charging.

Usage: In the context of power banks, this means that the power bank can magnetically attach to the back of a compatible device for convenient cable-free charging.

GaN

Description: GaN stands for Gallium Nitride, a material used in the latest generation of chargers. GaN chargers are more efficient, produce less heat, and can deliver more power compared to traditional silicon chargers.

Usage: Ideal for travelers and individuals who need fast, efficient charging options.

AUX

Description: AUX stands for auxiliary, which is a standard type of audio connection used to transfer sound between devices.

Usage: For example, a USB-C to AUX cable is used to connect smartphones without headphone jacks to devices with an AUX input for audio.

mAh

Description: Milliampere-hour is a unit used to indicate the energy capacity of batteries. It shows how much current a battery can deliver over a specific period.

Usage: For power banks, the mAh value indicates how much charge the power bank can store, which translates into how many times a device can be fully charged before the power bank itself needs to be recharged.

AMPERE (A)

Description: Ampere is a unit of electric current. It represents the amount of electric charge that flows through a conductor per second.

Usage: In the context of chargers and car chargers, the ampere value indicates how quickly a device can be charged; the higher the number of amperes, the faster the charging capacity.

WATT (W)

Description: Watt is a unit of power that indicates the rate of energy transfer. It is calculated by multiplying voltage by ampere (V x A = W).

Usage: When choosing chargers, it is important to know how many watts a charger can deliver, as this affects how quickly a device can be charged.

VOLTAGE (V)

Description: Voltage is a measure of electrical potential and drives the electrical current through a circuit.

Usage: The correct voltage is important to ensure that devices are charged safely and effectively without causing damage.

POWER DELIVERY (PD)

Description: Power Delivery is a fast charging technology used in USB-C chargers, allowing devices to be charged more quickly and safely by dynamically providing the optimal power the device can handle.

Usage: Very useful for rapidly charging various devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, especially when users want to charge multiple devices with a single charger.
