INTRODUCTION

   I really can't speak about all of you reading these lines right now but i grew up in the 80's and even up to the mid 90's there was no such thing as cellular phones and portable devices in general so whenever we were away from home we were literally out of reach and had zero need for electricity. For good or bad things have changed a lot since then so whenever we're away from home or the office we almost always find ourselves in need of electricity to power not only our smartphones but also our portable devices such as Bluetooth headsets and tablets. Things are even worse when we're nowhere near a place with electricity (such as the beach or a mountain) and i think we've all been in that situation at least once in our lives. Sandberg is among a long list of manufacturers that focus quite a bit in the development of powerbanks (portable batteries) and today we're testing their 18200mAh model.

   Sandberg stands for quality and user-friendliness. If it is important for you that accessories are high quality and easy to figure out how to use, then choose Sandberg. Our ideology "IT is for everybody" is part of everything we do. Since its inception in 1985, private consumers, institutions and companies have benefited from this simple philosophy. Distributors and dealers appreciate the availability, range, simple procedures and the exceptionally low failure rate. Every year over half a million Sandberg products find their way to users in more than 30 countries. Choosing Sandberg means choosing a safe and conscientious product that meets all applicable regulatory requirements. A product manufactured by subcontractors who are committed to following Sandberg's Code of Conduct to ensure decent working conditions and reduce the environmental impact of the production and waste disposal.

   The Sandberg PowerBank 18200 is a medium sized portable battery that features a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery pack with a capacity of 18200mAh, digital display from which you can check the current battery charge/status and a built-in LED flashlight (it's also covered by a 5 year warranty). Thanks to its high capacity the Powerbank 18200 has the ability to recharge most smartphones in the market today up to a total of 6 times and most tablets up to 3 times so it's safe to say that you will be covered for many days. The Powerbank 18200 allows recharging of up to three devices simultenously via its a three USB outputs (5V - 1/1.5/2.4A) and also supports several electrical protections including over-current protection (OCP), over-charging protection, over-discharge protection and short-circuit protection (SCP). So let's take a closer look and see exactly what you are getting with the Sandberg PowerBank 18200.
