Outdoor power supply is a portable energy storage device. It can provide stable power support for various electronic products such as our mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, cameras, drones, etc., so that we don't have to worry about insufficient power when traveling outdoors, camping, picnics, etc. However, outdoor power supply also has a disadvantage, that is, the charging speed is slow. If you don't pay attention to some details, it may take a long time to be fully charged. So, is there any way to increase the charging speed of outdoor power supply? Today, I will share some tips with you, I hope it will be helpful to you.
Choose the right charging method
Outdoor power supply usually has a variety of charging methods, such as AC charging, car charging, solar charging, etc. Different charging methods have different input power and efficiency, so choosing the right charging method is the key to improving the charging speed. Generally speaking, AC charging is the fastest charging method, because it can be charged directly using the socket of the home or hotel, with high input power and not too much loss. If you have the conditions, try to choose AC charging. In-car charging is the second fastest charging method because it can be charged using the car's cigarette lighter interface. The input power is generally around 100W, but in-car charging also has a disadvantage, which is that the car needs to be in the starting state, otherwise it will consume the car's battery. So if you choose in-car charging, it is best to do it while driving, or start the car regularly. Solar charging is the slowest charging method because it is affected by factors such as sunlight intensity, angle, and weather, the input power is unstable, and there is a large loss. Generally speaking, the output power of solar panels is between 20W and 300W, and it takes at least 4 hours to fully charge a slightly larger outdoor power supply. So if you choose solar charging, it is best to choose a high-efficiency solar panel, and try to keep the solar panel facing the sun, and avoid shadows and obstructions.
Choose the right charger
In addition to choosing the right charging method, you must also choose the right charger. Different outdoor power supplies have different input specifications and interfaces, so you should choose a matching charger according to your outdoor power supply. Generally speaking, outdoor power supplies come with an original AC adapter and a car adapter, both of which are optimized and tested to maximize input power and efficiency. So if you have the conditions, try to use the original adapter for charging. If you don't have the original adapter or want to charge the AC faster, you can choose an adapter of another brand or model, but pay attention to the following points:
The output power of the adapter must be greater than or equal to the input power of the outdoor power supply. This ensures that the charging speed will not be reduced, otherwise it will cause the charging time to be extended or unable to charge.
The output voltage of the adapter must match the input voltage of the outdoor power supply. This ensures safe and stable charging, otherwise it will cause damage or heating of the charger or outdoor power supply.
The output interface of the adapter must match the input interface of the outdoor power supply. This ensures that the charger and outdoor power supply can be connected normally, otherwise it will cause the charger or outdoor power supply to be unable to recognize or have poor contact.
