Do you carry a powerbank with you?

My husband brings his powerbank wherever he goes. It is something that he makes sure he has in his bag along with his phone and wallet, Some years ago, there were no powerbanks yet. But now, i can see the importance of it. It is an essesntial when we go to the beach and other places where charging a phone is something we cannot do conveniently. What about you? Do you also bring powerbanks?

There is a phone that does not need to be charged as it charges by itself,

I have a powerbank in hand always. But I just replaced my battery recently that’s why it is still quite strong and seldom so I need to recharge it. But I always see to it that I have it fully charged just in case.

@Janet357 Ever since I was able to replace my old battery with a new one my phone could last the whole day. Before I would have to charge it in the middle of the day but now it can last the whole day provided I do not use the data too much else it would drain fast and do not last the day.

@rsa101 maybe because the main thing you do is to call or message your friends only. When you surf the net, or watch youtube, it can drain your battery fast. In my case, youtube makes me carry a powerbank with me.

Yes, I always bring a fully charged powerbank with me always. It is so useful specially when your phone gets drained and you are in a long meeting or while you are travelling.

I only carry ours if we are going to be away for an extended period and charging might be an issue. If my phone runs out and I'll be home in an hour or two, I figure there was life before cell phones and I will survive. Powerbanks are a nice addition though...

Very much. But i just wish that the phone that charges by itself would be out on the market soon. Very sure, it would be very expensive.

Today I pay everything by my phone. So I need to have a power bank with me in case my phone runs out of power As you know, a phone without power means nothing at all.

@Janet357 In fact here we use the digital payment more often than Japan. When I was in Japan, some of the places still prefer to receive cash. Here even a street vendor will accept digital payment happily.

Yes, in china and Japan, everything is on their phones, they cannot work without their phones. They are very dependent on them.

I don´t use them at the moment but if you are on the phone a lot they are a must I would think.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about at first. I have two to three of those when I know where they are. I used to use them a lot when I had a game on my phone as it took the battery down fast. I've barely used it since taking that game off my phone. I need to find them and remember to charge them. I rarely go anywhere where there's no way to charge my phone, although sometimes at work it's a need and I'm not prepared. If that happens I'll just turn it off for a while.

@Janet357 It's not that I'm seldom here, but that I don't spend hours and hours here. Unless I'm home for a length of time, then I have more time to be here. I work full time as a cashier in a grocery store and I run the business in the warmer months of the year. I mylot in between playing my games or cleaning or organizing or scheduling, or whatever I'm doing at present. I did finish watching the previous season of Grey's Anatomy because I was thinking the currrennt season would be on soon, butt I may need tto waitt untyil the Fall.... My keyboard i is geetting carried away again, yikees

It depends how long we will be out and where will we be going. Sometimes, I purposely do not bring it so if the gadgets of my kids became low, they have no choice but to stop. lol

My husband has a power bank. But he never carried with him. When he is going to the official tour then he always carry his power bank. Its really useful. But I never carried it.
