Tablet

Tablets are ideal for on-the-go use: whether you're working, watching movies, or editing photos. A power bank offers the perfect solution. But how much capacity do you need to properly charge your tablet? Read more below.

How much mAh battery does my tablet have?

The power bank you need depends on the type of tablet you use. Tablet battery capacity varies between smaller models and larger tablets, such as premium Android tablets or Windows 2-in-1 models. Therefore, the required capacity varies by model.

How many times can I charge my tablet with a power bank?

Suppose you have a power bank with a 20,000 mAh capacity and your tablet has a 10,000 mAh battery. In theory, you'd expect two full charges. In practice, this is slightly lower due to efficiency loss. Power banks typically have an efficiency of 80-85%, meaning that with a 20,000 mAh power bank, you effectively have 16,000 to 17,000 mAh available.

Sample calculation:
16,000 mAh / 10,000 mAh = 1.6 charges

If you have a 26,800 mAh power bank, you can charge your tablet approximately 2.1 times:
(26,800 * 0.8) / 10,000 mAh = 2.1 times charging.
