This iPhone can be charged by a power bank that has a capacity of 1,432 mAh or more. Power banks have a capacity that range from 800 mAh to 5,600 mAh.

The power bank's capacity must be lower than the gadget's battery capacity.

The lipstick power bank will turn on when you connect it to your gadget. It will turn off when you disconnect your gadget or when your gadget is completely charged.

Type of Battery

Lithium polymer and lithium ion are the two kinds of batteries that a lipstick power bank may contain. These batteries take 2-4 hours to charge a gadget and they typically cost around $100.

Lithium ion is a cheap battery that can withstand a temperature of 4-140 degrees Fahrenheit (-20-60 degrees Celsius). It sends 0.25-5.00 volts to devices.

These components are what prevent the power bank from short circuiting, which can lead to fire.

The switch at the other end of the lipstick power bank activates four LED lights. These lights detect your gadget's remaining power level.

The lipstick power bank charges gadgets that need an input volt of 5-24 V. A laptop computer is an example of a gadget that requires an input volt of 12-24 V.

Gadgets that need an input volt of 5 V are smart phones, digital cameras, iPods and PSPs. Tablets, SLR cameras and video cameras are examples of devices that need an input volt of 8-12 V.

Advantages of a lipstick power bank:

Some power banks use one LED color to determine the gadget's remaining power level, while some power banks use two LED colors. The most common LED colors that a lipstick power bank may use are blue, green, and red. The gadget is still charging when the LED indicator becomes red. The indicator becomes blue when the gadget is fully charged. The indicator turns green when the gadget has remaining power.

Yes, as long as it's compatible with the gadgets. But the gadgets' input volt and the input volt provided by the lipstick power bank can affect the charging time.

Google gadgets include the Google Nexus One, Google Nexus 7, Google Nexus S, Google Nexus 4 and the Google Nexus 5.

Additional Features

The lipstick power bank has short circuit protection and overcharge protection. The power bank has an IC protector that cuts the power supply to prevent short circuits.
