With Black Friday coming and the hot shopping season, there will be many deals. One accessory that I highly recommend is an external battery pack. Asus sells the ZenPower which is just $19.99 for a 10050mAh portable battery. You can get smaller external battery packs which are lighter and more portable. In fact you can get an external battery charger that is the size of a lipstick! These types of accessories see huge discounts and sale prices. One issue to consider is how long these external batteries can hold their charge. If you go with the super small battery banks, it means they will drain while sitting around your house and if you grab it and head out, there is a chance that it may be at 50% charge or worse. It becomes a bit tricky. However if you go for a bigger capacity there is more room for error, or you can afford to lose some of the charge while it sits and you will still have enough charge left if you take it out with you. Most times when you grab the external battery you’re in a rush. If you end up out of battery on your device and plug into your external charger only to find that it’s dead too, imagine the frustration!
Here is a quick rundown and shopping guide:
Price wise you shouldn’t have to pay anything more than $30 and most of the 12000mAh battery banks should be around $20. It’s a wise investment because it’s useful for more than just your ZenPad. Smartphones also require constant charging especially if you’re pushing them with HD video and or video games.
