What is a Power Bank?

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

What is a power bank? Why should you have one? A power bank is a portable battery source, that is typically rechargeable, for use camping, long car trips, even for use in natural disasters to charge a phone, a light, a radio, or some of the larger ones can run a coffee maker. Typical power banks are charged by a wall outlet, of a phone charger, but there are some that use solar or even a crank handle. Power banks can be stand alone packs, or incorporated in other objects like flashlight, and some emergency radios, like my Midland er210. Now the 3 that I mainly show in this video are older micro-USB charged versions, which are no longer available on Amazon, or atleast I could not find them, I will leave a link below to a general search for a power bank, if you should choose to look.
