Draadloze vs bekabelde powerbanks: Wat werkt beter

Nowadays, a power bank is indispensable as a gadget for your smartphone, smartwatch or other device. Power banks offer the solution for this, but with the arrival of wireless charging, a new option has been added. So the question is: do I go for a wireless or wired power bank? In this blog we explain the differences between these two types of power banks, how they work and what the pros and cons are, so that you can make the right choice.

What is a wireless power bank?

A wireless power bank is a portable charger that allows you to charge your smartphone or smartwatch without a cable. You simply place your device on the surface of the power bank and the charging starts automatically via induction in the power bank. Ideal for those who want to charge quickly and without the hassle of cables. The device that you want to charge wirelessly must support this. Not all smartphones or smartwatches can be charged wirelessly.

What is a wired power bank?

A wired power bank is the regular portable charger where you use a cable to charge your device. You connect your smartphone, tablet or other device via USB and start charging. These power banks are reliable, fast and suitable for almost any device.

What is the difference?

The difference is in the way you charge your device. A wireless power bank uses induction technology to transfer power without the need for a cable.

A wired power bank works with a physical connection via a USB cable. You plug in your device and the power bank delivers power immediately. This method is also faster and more efficient than wireless charging, because more heat is lost with wireless charging.
