How to Identify an Original Power Bank
Having a power bank is very beneficial, but problems can occur if you purchase or own a fake one, which could endanger your phone by endangering its battery, causing damage to the device, or even catching fire and destroying it. Today, I’ll help you distinguish between real power banks and fake ones, especially in Nigeria where there are many of the latter. I’ll also tell you which power bank is the best to purchase here in Nigeria.

If you continue to use a power bank that has been shown to be fraudulent, be aware that it will eventually cause damage to your phone or tablet.
