For example, if your device’ built-in battery is 10,000 mAh, if you will purchase a Power Bank with the same milliamp hours, the effect is you are doubling your device’ battery life. Also, the higher mAh you have, the thicker and heavier it could be. However, it is also costly.

This case-specific Power Bank will allow you to charge only on specific devices. This is not recommended if you have other devices that needs recharging. While Encased battery units are more convenient to use since it allows you to charge different devices or charge two devices at the same time.
So to be able to choose the right battery life extenders, you need to check on your usage and how many devices you will use for this purpose. Always check on the compatibility of your devices on the Power Bank that you will purchase.
