Portable battery packs are typically rated in milliamps (mAh), with most having the capacity to recharge a smartphone several times and to top up - though rarely fully charge - a tablet. As an example, the Apple iPhone 5S takes 1570mAh to fully charge; the iPad Mini 6471mAh and the iPad Air a mighty 8820mAh. If you plan to charge a higher-drain device - such as an iPad or other tablet - your charger will also need to output at 2.4 amp; smartphones only typically require an 1 amp supply. |
