2. Reliable "On-the-Road Companion": Compensating for Car Charger Shortcomings

During road trips, car USB ports may be insufficient, low-power, or unavailable when the engine is off. Carrying your own power bank perfectly solves these issues.

·Expand Charging Ports: When traveling with multiple people and numerous devices, a power bank can easily provide multiple fast-charging ports to meet everyone's needs.

·Continuous Power After Engine Off: Rest or take a break with the engine off without worrying about draining the car battery. You can safely use the power bank to charge phones, tablets, or even devices like car air purifiers for extended periods.

·Enhancing Travel Comfort: On long train rides or flights, freely power your phone, tablet, e-reader, or noise-canceling headphones without being limited by available outlets, making the journey more comfortable and enjoyable.

Key Points: For outdoor activities, prioritize products with shock resistance and good weather durability. Scientifically select the battery capacity (e.g., 20,000mAh and above) based on trip duration and intensity of use (e.g., powering photography gear). Note airline regulations on carrying power banks (usually those under 100Wh can be carried in hand luggage).

4. "Work & Life Assistant" for Specific Groups

Different users can unlock specialized convenient uses for power banks.

·Students & Exam Takers: In places with limited outlets like libraries or study rooms, easily power a laptop, tablet, and desk lamp simultaneously, creating an unrestricted study environment.
