There are quite a few things that you should consider when it comes to purchasing a portable charger for a tablet. That’s mostly because they’re a larger device that has quite a few more aspects to them that require you to know more about what you need to look for when it comes picking a charger for your tablet. In general, tablets are larger smartphones and that means that they have much larger batteries resulting in higher power capacities for longer battery life. That said, when it does come time to charge your tablet, then you’re going to want a charger that has a fast charging speed and one that has multiple USB ports.

Focus on Charging Speed

That’s because a portable battery charger with more than just a single USB port will allow you to charge your tablet and also your smartphone while you’re on the go. Of course, the charging speed as I just mentioned matters too and that’s because if you’re charging a tablet such as a 12.1 inch iPad with a slow 5V/1.0A charging speed, then it’s going to charge very slowly as the largest iPad that Apple owns has a 10,000mAh power capacity. The brand that you purchase your portable charger from is also important, and according to ChargerHarbor.com, Anker is one of the best brands that sells portable chargers on the market.

Power Capacity to give a few Full Charges

As a result of tablets having such high power capacities, you also want to get a power bank that has a high power capacity too so you’re able to charge your tablet to its full power. Some of the ranges of power capacities to own are 10,000mAh, 20,000mAh and the highest range to stop at should be 30,000mAh. A 10,000mAh power capacity portable charger is quite good for charging a tablet to its full power at least once. That said, it’s not really enough to charge a tablet to its full power and also charge smartphones to full power too.That is why 20,000mAh power banks are more helpful when it does come to charging the tablet and also if you want to charge a smartphone at the same time.

Special Charging Tech

The level beyond the 20,000mAh threshold is a portable charger that has 30,000mAh power capacities and these are absolute beasts. That’s because they have more than enough power to be able to charge a tablet to its full power about two times while still having enough power to charge smartphones a few times too. In addition to having a higher power capacity in this range, these types of portable chargers usually feature charging tech such as Quick Charge and also have USB Type-C which a few tablets feature and you’re also able to charge a Nintendo Switch with many of the portable chargers at this level because they use Type-C.

Other Charging Solutions

With all that said, as useful as portable chargers are when it comes to charging tablets and other devices, there are the other types of chargers that you should consider as well. Of course, there are USB wall chargers which are the most used and the best thing about wall chargers is that most of them are very powerful and you’re able to go into the USB charging station level where those chargers have lots more ports and some of them even use two Quick Charge ports. One of the least popular charging methods on the market are car chargers, however, car charging can be very useful if you’re going from using your tablet and still need it at the location that you’re driving to; so you’re able to have a powered up tablet or other devices when you use a car charger.
