Battery packs will be vital for wearables for quite some time

While power pack technology is continually improving, it won’t be for a long while before it makes it to devices.

There is no doubt that wearables are going to continue to be produced and are evolving very rapidly, but the one thing that doesn’t seem to be changing is their need for backup battery packs.

Because of that, many in the industry say the value of the devices will need to improve significantly.

The short lifespan of the built-in batteries means that regular users of devices such as smartwatches will need to get used to carrying portable battery packs with them in order to ensure that they don’t run out of juice before the end of the day. For that reason, the device makers behind wearables like that will need to step up their game and prove to users that the gadgets are well worth the extra effort.

Fortunately, innovation is far from running dry in wearables, so battery packs are likely here to stay.

Battery Packs - Wearable Technology NewsBattery life is one of the main concerns of the wearable technology industry at the moment. While designers and manufacturers are attempting to be able to create products that will impress, they’re also trying to do so in a way that will last for a reasonable amount of time.

Unfortunately, the current market appears to be swamped with devices that run slowly, that contain software that doesn’t have much of a “wow” factor, and that aren’t all that attractive as something to be worn on the body. This is improving, but battery power isn’t.

Since the technology for making sure wearables last longer between charges doesn’t seem to be getting better at much of an impressive rate, many in the industry are recommending that the companies behind these wearable technology devices focus on different features. The improvements to the lifespan will happen, but that looks like it will be a long way off. Therefore, the key to success at the moment seems to be in making sure the devices themselves are worth the added effort of charging more frequently.

By making wearable technology as important to users as their smartphones, they will be certain to think that carrying battery packs and connecting to them now and again will be well worth keeping the smartwatches on their wrists.

Mogix portable battery charger scores huge applause in Craving Tech review

The external power bank has received yet another rave review as tech experts love its dual USB ports.

The Mogix portable battery charger is making tech news once again as it has received another fantastic review, this time from Craving Tech (cravingtech.com), which was taken by the dual USB ports that allow for 2.5A and 2.1A simultaneous device charging.

Craving Tech underscored the fact that many of us depend on multiple gadgets on any given day.

As a result, the review showed that running out of battery has become a problem that is faced from multiple directions instead of only one. It’s not just a matter of running out of juice in a smartphone anymore. Now people are watching the batteries drain in their smartphones (sometimes more than one of them), tablets and even wearables. Therefore, while many people have started carrying a portable battery charger to help to keep their tech gadgets up and running, the Mogix 10,400mAh power bank provides an added advantage by allowing two devices to charge at once.

With the Mogix portable battery charger, two phones or a smartphone and a tablet can charge at the same time.

It was also careful to point out that the typical charger output is usually around 2.1A or even 1A, which means that the Mogix external battery charger is faster than most comparable devices when using its main USB port and it will at least match them when using its secondary port.

The Craving Tech reviewer, Michael Aulia, was able to charge his iPhone 6S and iPad Air at the same time. He was also able to recharge his Huawei Smart Band and his Huawei P8 Lite simultaneously.

Aulia pointed out that the portable battery charger has an automatic shut-off feature, which is handy in saving power when the device is not in use but when it has been accidentally left on. Moreover, it also has LED lights that were found to be useful in knowing just how much charge was actually left within the power bank. That said, with 10,400mAh available, “When I tested the portable charger to charge my devices, I realised that this charger could go on and on without emptying its juice out,” said Aulia.
