Ip67 rugged power bank

Types of IP67 rugged power banks

An IP67 power bank is a power bank that has an IP (Ingress Protection) rating, which means it has been tested and certified against the penetration of both water and dust. The first digit after the 'IP' indicates the level of protection against dust and other solids, while the second refers to liquids. In the case of IP67-rated power banks, the '6' means they are completely dust-tight, and the '7' means they can withstand immersion in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes.

Based on iP67 ratings, two kinds of power banks are available:

• Non-waterproof: They help keep electronic devices powered up while not exposed to the elements. Customers use them in closed spaces like homes, offices, or cafes.
• Waterproof: They have high importance in keeping devices charged and performed in different situations. From outdoor trekking to quick-refilling charging needs during long commutes, waterproof power banks serve well when time matters most. Although they don’t have an IP67 rating, they come with additional features, including waterproofing, shock resistance, and prolonged power delivery.

Function and features of IP67 rugged power bank

An IP67 power bank has multiple layers of protection to ensure it stays intact even if it falls or gets exposed to water or dust. Here are some features that enable this type of power bank to function in various environments.

• Impact protection

  An IP67 power bank has an outer casing made of rubber or reinforced plastic. These materials absorb impact and prevent any internal damage when the power bank falls. In addition, the power bank won’t get any dents or scratches that impact its look. Some power banks also have a built-in handle to offer a better grip when carrying it. This makes it less likely to fall down.

• Dust and tear protection

  A power bank with an IP67 rating is completely dust-tight. This means that the power bank won’t get any dust particles inside even through the openings. Additionally, the reinforced plastic or rubber casings are less likely to tear or get dints. Thus, keeping the power bank safe from internal damages due to dust.

• Water protection

  IP67 indicates that the power bank can withstand water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The outer casing has no leaks that allow water to get in. As a result, users can safely use the power bank in the rain or case gets submerged in water. However, the power bank shouldn’t be opened under water.

• Dirt protection

  The power bank’s ports have port covers, self-sealing ports, or waterproof membranes. These adds an extra layer of protection against dirt or dust gets in. When the power bank is exposed to dust, it will stay out due to the tight seals. Unlike other power banks that are partially dust-tight, IP67 power banks stay sealed all the time. The covers also hide the ports and give it a more modern look.

• Shock absorption

  Apart from absorbing impact from a fall, the outer rubber casing also protects the power bank from minor bumps. The rubber absorbs the shock and keeps the power bank functional. Power bank with IP67 rating tends to last longer. This is because it has fewer scratches or dents that affect its performance.

Scenarios

• Outdoor Adventures:

  Outdoor enthusiasts will find the rugged power bank particularly useful. Whether hiking, climbing, camping, or engaging in other outdoor activities, its dust-proof, shock-resistant, and waterproof capabilities make it a reliable companion for extended trips away from electrical outlets.

• Emergency Backup:

  In a sudden power outage or natural disaster, the rugged power bank provides essential backup charging for communication devices, flashlights, and other critical electronics.

• Worksites:

  Workers in jobs with limited power access - from construction sites to field research - benefit from the power bank's high-capacity charging. It ensures tools, cameras, and devices stay powered throughout the workday.

• Traveling:

  Its compact design and ability to charge on the go make it an ideal accessory for travelers looking to keep their gadgets powered while moving between destinations.

• Military or Tactical Use:

  Built to withstand harsh conditions, these power banks are also useful for military personnel, emergency responders, or those engaged in tactical operations; providing dependable power for critical missions.

How to choose IP67 rugged power banks

• Consider the capacity:

  The capacity of a power bank refers to how much electricity it can store. This is measured in units called mAh, which stands for milliamp hours. A higher mAh means the power bank can charge devices for longer before running out of battery. Different capacity IP67 power banks are available. Some might have a smaller capacity, like 5000mAh, which could fully charge a smartphone once. Others could have a much bigger capacity of 20000mAh or even more. A higher capacity power bank could charge a phone multiple times before needing to be recharged itself. When choosing one, the key is to consider how much mAh is needed based on the devices' sizes. That way, an appropriate model can be selected that will provide charging power over time based on a user or multiple users' needs.

• Check the number of USB Ports

  An IP67 power bank can have one or more USB ports. If it only has one port, then only one device can be plugged in at a time to charge from the power bank. However, some models come with multiple ports, allowing two or more devices to be charged at the same time. When looking at a power bank, the ports are very important. They are where the charging cables for phones, tablets, or other gadgets are plugged in to connect to the power bank. Each USB port acts like its own separate connection. This means that multiple devices can all be charging at once through the different ports without needing to take turns. Each device just needs to be plugged into a different port. Some power banks have up to 4 USB ports.

• Think about extra features

  LED flashlights are useful since they mean the power bank provides light when it's dark. Some also charge devices super fast, which saves time. Smart power banks mean they automatically adjust charging based on the device plugged in.

Q and A

Q: What does IP67 mean?

A: The letters 'IP' stand for Ingress Protection, which indicates the resistance to water and dust; the first digit refers to protection from dust \"6\", and the second digit refers to protection from water \"7\". This means that the power bank is completely protected from dust entering and can be submerged in water up to one meter for 30 minutes. Therefore, it is suitable for use in very dusty or wet environments.

Q: Does the power bank require rugged treatment?

A: No, the power bank does not require rugged treatment because it is manufactured using IP67 standards.

Q: What are the benefits of using an IP67 power bank?

A: An IP67 power bank offers many benefits. It is dust-resistant, which means that no dust will enter the power bank. It is also water-resistant, which means that the power bank will not get damaged when it is wet or gets touched by water. In addition to this, the power bank is safe to use in any environment without worrying about its efficiency getting affected by water or dust.
