  • Learn about the LED lights that power banks have and what they mean. The blinking lights signify different charging stages, depending on how many LEDs there are.
    The standard setup is 4 lights, each of them signifying 25% of charge. But some power banks can have 3 or 5 lights instead of 4. Regardless of the number of lights, they all have a very similar purpose.
    Sometimes, portable charges can also have lights of different colors: blue, green, and red being the most common.

    Thank you for explaining the 'blinking' lights - very good. As you said, light number 4 blinking (of four) only means 75% plus.
    I recently bought the Energizer 20,000 mAh which has a percentage LED display. I like it a lot and am very pleased with the product.

      ME TOO! I also got Energizer specifically because of it's handy LED display. I don't get why all powerbanks can't have that, just a simple tiny display, that would tell me clearly, how many percents of power I still have 🙄

    If it’s less than 25% remaining then does that mean it won’t blink at all? Because mine doesn’t blink but I’m assuming it’s because i have less than 25% remaining

    Does anybody know what it means on Anker when only one light blinks when you push the button? When hooked up to a charger it shows it is at about 75% charger right now but when it's unplugged only one light blinks. When it first started doing this it wouldn't charge itself or devices at all but now it will charge but still only one light blinks even though it is charged up.

    I connected the output to my power bank to the power source (plug). Thinking that is the way to charge it instead of connecting it to input port. Would this have damaged the power bank?

    • @PowerBankExpert
      @PowerBankExpert  9 месяцев назад

      No. Power banks have internal safety circuits preventing damage in these types of situations.

    Thanx for explaining about the 4 LED lights. I thought they were a flashlight.
    My question is about another light. The word "powerbank" lights up & changes colors. I have to push the button a couple times til it turns on. Does that mean the unit is on?

    • @PowerBankExpert
      @PowerBankExpert  2 года назад

      I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but generally, most power banks automatically get turned on once you connect them to a device you want to charge, such as a phone, for example.

    • @susanivy3619
      @susanivy3619 Год назад

      Really, it changes color? I've never seen one like that (not that I know much about them, hence me being here lol). If you don't mind sharing, what kind of power bank are you referring to? My niece wants one for her b-day at the end of March and her soon to be 12 yr. old self would love one like that.

    Please reply What's the problem, I bought it yesterday Redmi 20000mah power bank...

    • @PowerBankExpert
      @PowerBankExpert  Год назад

      It likely means that the power bank is charged between 75% and 100%. In this case, it will have 3 LEDs while charging itself, and 4 LEDs while charging a different device. For more info, check out this page: manuals.plus/redmi/20000mah-18w-fast-charge-power-bank-manual#axzz7yshuYV1s

    Hello
    I bought a powerbank yesterday, i need to charge it to full before i can use it, when i bought it just 2 lights out of 4 were charged, i have successfully charged one makinb it 3 charged now, the fourth light has been blinking which shows still charging even after charging for a long time. But when i disconnect it from socket and put it on, all 4 lights come on, what does that mean? Is it fully charged?

    • @PowerBankExpert
      @PowerBankExpert  7 месяцев назад

      It might be fully charged, yes. The charging pattern can vary slightly according to the power bank model. The best interpretation you can get is the one from the user manual.

    I have a power add and it only has two lights on one side of the power on a button and one flashing light on the other side not 4 lights
    So this one was one that wasn't charged for quite a while so I let it sit for quite a long time.
    I actually did charged it before I started charging it at least I think I did because it was sitting so long not being charged and then finally the lights came on but only two and the third one keeps flashing so I don't know where they should leave it on for a longer time to see if it will stop flashing and hold or whether it's supposed to be flashing and letting us know that it's still charging.
    You know anything about the power add charger?

    • @PowerBankExpert
      @PowerBankExpert  9 месяцев назад

      I'm not sure what's the exact power bank model you have. I'd advise you to look for the user manual. They should clearly explain there what the blinking pattern is for your power bank. If you don't have the manual anymore, try searching for it online. You should be able to find it.

    • @bondjane007
      @bondjane007 9 месяцев назад

      @@PowerBankExpert Thank you for getting back to me but my mistake was that I didn’t let the charger charge long enough to see that it has four lights I only saw the third one flashing I never seen the fourth one. I always took it off when the third would start the flash. This time I let it sit longer and I saw that the third one lit up and stood still and then it went to the fourth one and it was flashing and then I’ll far stop flashing and then I realized I didn’t read it correctly. So it has four lights not three. It’s a power ad. It’s a strong one. It has two charging ports one is Speedy with two lightning bolts and the other one is regular with one lightning bolt. Sorry for not being on my toes about my charger. I didn’t have a manual and I didn’t look one up. But I did discover that if a charger hasn’t been charged in a while and you let it sit for a while it will eventually light up or you can do charge it and then it’ll charge. I learned that from somebody who had a charger they hadn’t used in a while like mine and they let it sit for two weeks I didn’t do that long but mine finally charged after a day. Thanks a lot

      Most likely it still has enough power for the torch. If you leave it on for a long enough time, the torch will go out as well. Try using another charger and charging cable and see if that works.

    I have an Urbn 27000mAH UPR 302 PD with 65W max power output. I have purchased it from Amazon in the month of Mar 2023. I have only been able to charge my iPhone 14 Plus 3 times with the Power bank and after that whenever I have put the Power bank for charging, initially the LED lights up one by one and on completion of the 4th LED lighting up, all 4 LED lights keep constantly blinking while it is connected to the wall charger. The moment I disconnect it from the wall charger, the Power bank is unable to charge anything. I have tried different Charging cables(USB A to C), Micro USB cable, cable provided along with the Power bank, but to no avail. Moreover, I have tried 30W WARP wall charger also, but no luck. Please advise what does all LED lights blinking at once indicate and what is the solution. Thanks in anticipation

    • @PowerBankExpert
      @PowerBankExpert  Год назад

      The LED blinking patterns are not the same on all power banks. So it isn't easy to know exactly what it means in your case. The best way is to check the user manual that came with your power bank. You should have the explanation there. Usually speaking, when all 4 LED lights are lit constantly (not blinking), it means that the power bank is fully charged. But if they are blinking it might also signify a charging error.
