How can I keep my power bank cool?
You can keep your power bank cool in the following ways:

- Only charge it when it needs to be done, and never overnight (although overcharging is less of a problem with newer devices, but we’ll cover this later)
Why does my portable charger heat up?
Generally, when converting the alternating current to direct current, a normal battery charger is capable of transmitting around 70\% of electric current, while the other 30\% is converted to heat energy and is diffused. This is what causes the heating up of your battery charger when it’s charging your phone.
Why is my power bank not holding charge?
Check if the power cable is fully inserted or not- There is a possibility that you may not have fully inserted the power plug in the charging port that leads to a faulty connection. The output current from a computer or laptop USB port is around 0.5 A, which is not sufficient to charge a power bank.

How long does it take to charge a 20000mah power bank?
Some power banks take longer to charge because larger batteries have a bigger capacity to store energy. For example, a high capacity power bank with 20,000 mAh can take up to 40 hours to charge fully. Smaller power banks with 4,000 mAh may only take a couple hours to charge.
Why does my power bank get hot when charging?
Chances are your power bank is recharging at a lower current than when it itself is charging another device. All lithium-ion batteries will generate heat during charge and discharge – with most heat build-up at the end of the cycle. The more current you use to charge or discharge, the hotter the cell will get.
What should I do if my power bank does not charge?
