4. Material Powerbank

If the power bank is made of plastic material, it should be made of plastic that is not easily broken, and if the power bank is made of aluminum, it should be resistant to corrosion and not easy to rust.
In addition, the brand logo will also be printed brightly and with good print quality. So that the logo is not easily faded and also not eroded.
5. Warranty and Review
Goods and purchased at official outlets must have an official warranty from the powerbank vendor. So, when you buy make sure to ask if the powerbank is have official warranty from the vendor or not.
However, if you buy the powerbank online, it's a good idea to check the review of the item first. If many people complain about the powerbank, it's better to just cancel the purchase.
