Keep Connect with ASUS Powerbank - Powerbank 101

Yay! Another 101 post, I miss doing this post! 101 post is talking about something deeply with all needed information I wanna share. Be a smart buyer and user of course.

Yay! Postingan 101, aku kangen membuatnya. Postingan 101 adalah postingan yang membicarakan sesuatu hal secara mendalam dengan semua informasi yang akan aku bagikan. Jadilah pembeli dan pemakai yang pintar.

I always prioritize my phone first than my wallet, quite weird huh? Lol. I can't go out without my phone, but sometimes I forget to bring my wallet - though wallet is far more important than phone?

Aku selalu mementingkan hp ku daripada dompet, aneh ya? Lol. Aku gak bisa keluar rumah tanpa hp, tapi kadang lupa bawa dompet - padahal dompet jauh lebih penting ya dari hp?

But my phone is not as nice as I treat it! The battery drop off every 5 hours ... -_- and then I think we need battery machine in mall like bank ATM which is easy to find and can easily charge there quickly! But thanks God there is POWERBANK! A new technology for battery-craving-people (including me) :p

Tapi hp ku tidak sebaik aku memperlakukan dia! Batere nya drop setiap 5 jam ... -_- dan aku pikir kita butuh mesin penjual batere seperti ATM di mall gitu yang gampang dicari dan cepat dipakai. Tapi thanks God ada POWERBANK! Teknologi baru untuk orang-orang yang haus batere (termasuk aku) :p

Now let's talk Powerbank 101 first. Let's be smart user and buyer by knowing it deeply.

Mari bicara tentang Powerbank 101 dulu yuk. Mari menjadi pembeli dan pengguna yang pintar dengan mengetahui cara kerjanya.

WHAT IS POWERBANK?

Power bank serve as an ‘extra battery’ or external charger for your phone or other electronic devices. The  average size is medium to small so it can fit into your handbag.

APA ITU POWERBANK?
Adalah batere ekstra yang didapat dari charger eksternal untuk gadget. Ukurannya rata-rata sedang dan kecil sehingga masuk ke tas tangan.

WHERE IS POWERBANK MADE FROM?

Majority of the power banks in the market are actually made in China (everything does lol).

Darimana Powerbank dibuat?
Mayoritas sih dari Tiongkok.

HOW DO I CHARGE POWERBANK?

You can charge your power bank via the charger that came with your phone, computer usb port or using other power bank - of course to the electricity plug.

Bagaimana cara mencharge powerbank?
Bisa dengan mencolok menggunakan kabel dari hp, usb, atau dari powerbank itu sendiri ke stop kontak.

HOW LONG I DO NEED TO CHARGE MY POWERBANK?

It’s depending on the REAL CAPACITY of the power bank. The larger REAL CAPACITY, the longer charging time may required. Different charging methods may result different charging time as well. Charging with the original charger will be faster than charging with computer usb port.

Berapa lama saya harus mencharge powerbank?
Tergantung dari kapasitas asli powerbank. Semakin besar maka semakin lama waktunya. Cara charge yang berbeda juga menghasilkan waktu yang berbeda. Mencharge menggunakan charger asli akan mempercepat tentunya daripada menggunakan kabel usb biasa.

WHAT IS mAh?

mAh means milli Ampere Hour, the capacity of the power bank is measure with mAh.

Apa itu mAh?
mAh itu ukuran powerbank singkatannya milli Ampere hour.

How to choose the right output to my phone?

The only way is by seeing your ORIGINAL charger, it would be written there: 1A or 0.5A or even bigger like 2A. Match the number with powerbank's output for best charging procedure.
Usually Blackberry has 0.5A, Iphone has 1A, and Pad has 2A.

Bagaimana memilih keluaran terbaik untuk hp?
Caranya adalah dengan melihat tulisan di charger asli, akan ada tulisan: 1A atau 0.5A atau bahkan 2A. Cocokkan nomor tersebut dengan keluaran powerbank untuk hasil terbaik.
Biasanya Blackberry itu 0.5A, Iphone itu 1A, dan Pad itu 2A.

What would happen if I charge it differently?

~ If your phone says 1A and you charge in 2A powerbank output: it can slowly damage the phone's battery and broke it faster - too much electricity that feed the battery.

~ If your phone says 1A and you charge in 0.5A powerbank output: there is two options (1) cannot charge at all (2) it can charging but very sloooowwww - too little electricity that feed the battery.

Apa yang akan terjadi jika di charge berbeda?
~ Jika hp tertulis 1A dan di charge di 2A: perlahan akan merusak batere hp - terlalu banyak arus listrik yang masuk ke batere.
~ Jika hp tertulis 1A dan di charge di 0.5A: ada dua kemungkinan (1) tidak bisa ngangkat (2) bisa ngecharge tapi lamaaaaa banget - terlalu sedikit arus listrik yang masuk ke batere.

WHAT IS PHONE BATTERY HEALTH?

In simple, it’s mean how‘healthy’ your phone battery is. Phone battery storage capacity will be lower and lower. That’s also the reason why our phone can last longer when it’s newly bought than after 3-6 months we used it. Different mobile phone models also will affect the calculation as some phone drain battery faster than the other.

Apa itu kesehatan batere hp?
Simpelnya, artinya itu kesehatan batere. Kapasitas batere hp akan menjadi semakin rendah, itulah alasan kenapa hp baru akan lebih tahan batere daripada yang sudah dipakai 3-6 bulan apalagi tahunan. Hp yang berbeda dan model berbeda juga akan memiliki kalkulasi ketahanan batere yang berbeda.

What’s the different between branded power bank and generic power bank?

Branded power bank mostly sell in REAL CAPACITY. Generic power bank mostly sell in MARKING CAPACITY. That’s the reason why you will never see any branded power bank (standard size) have anything as high as 30000mAh – 50000mAh. That’s also the reason why a good 12000-13000mAh power bank are able to charge more or about the same like the market 30000-50000mAh power bank

Apa bedanya antara powerbank bermerk terkenal dan yang tanpa merk?
Powerbank bermerk biasanya selalu menjual dengan kejujuran kapasitas. Powerbank tanpa merk biasanya membohongi kapasitas kepada publik. Inilah alasan kita tidak pernah menemukan powerbank bermerk yang punya kapasitas tinggi seperti 30.000mAh - 50.000mAh. Ini juga alasan kenapa yang 12.000-13.000mAh lebih bisa charge banyak hp daripada yang 30.000-50.000mAh tapi yang palsu.

Annnnddddd the most frequent and important question is:

Dannnnn yang paling sering ditanya adalah:

Is it true branded power bank won’t explode and generic power bank will explode?

Anything to do with battery, will have chance to explode. No matter it’s branded power bank or generic power bank. But chances for both branded and generic power bank to explode are near to 0%. If power bank is easy to explode, everyone will use power bank in war instead of bomb. The most safe thing to keep it calm is: never use them while charging/connected to the electricity plug. AND NEVER OVERCHARGE YOUR GADGET!

Apa benar kalau charge denga powerbank tak bermerk bisa meledak?
Segala sesuatu yang memiliki batere, sangat punya kesempatan untuk meledak. Tidak peduli merk atau tidak. Tapi kemungkinan powerbank untuk meledak adalah dekat dengan 0%. Kalau mudah meledak, akan digunakan untuk perang sebagai bom. Cara menjaga paling aman adalah dengan: tidak menggunakannya selagi dicharge. DAN JANGAN PERNAH OVERCHARGE YA.

That's all the lesson about electric and powerbank, I hope it can change the way we treat our gadget, so it can last longer :)

Anyway, I got myself ASUS Powerbank 10500 mAh!! Thankyou ASUS Indonesia!

The most cool thing about this powerbank is: small (as small as credit card) and light-weighted!! Super happy! No big space and weight in my bag *dancing*

It needs around 6-8 hours to fully charged, so I charged it at night while sleeping. I also love the simple design which is so great to grab in my little hands :p

And one more important thing is: it never go overheat and I never feel the heat from this Asus Powerbank! SUPERCOOL *literally and not literally*
