Recently, many users of modern gadgets have begun to pay attention to external batteries that have appeared on the market, or, as they are also called, power banks (the name comes from the English Power bank). Many models of such devices from various manufacturers are already known. This article will focus on the Hiper external battery. Due to their technical data, the presence of various controls, attractive appearance, variety of models, high build quality and low cost, they are widely used among buyers in various countries, including Russia.
About the need for external batteries
In the modern world it is difficult to imagine your life without gadgets. And few people think about the fact that even 15-20 years ago only a select few owned such a luxury as a mobile phone. In those days, they served only one purpose: to call. Those first models are difficult to compare with modern ones that allow you to talk, communicate on the Web, play games, use various applications, support GPS andWiFi. And the appearance of a touch phone with a good diagonal is very different from the old-style push-button black-and-white models.
But the old models of mobile phones still had their advantage. And it consisted in the fact that the battery capacity was enough for almost a week. This is much more convenient than 2 days, which is enough battery capacity of modern gadgets. Needless to say, most of the charge is spent not on conversations, but on entertainment. So you have to use additional devices to stay in touch. It is good that technology does not stand still and manufacturers offer a solution to this problem. One of them is an external battery. Hiper is one such manufacturer, producing a wide variety of power bank models.
A couple of words about the manufacturer
Hipper (Great Britain) was first heard by buyers in 2001. For a relatively short history of its existence, the manufacturer has put on stream the production of a variety of products. These are hoverboards for children, and power supplies, and accessories for mobile devices, and much more.
One of Hipper's products is an external battery. Currently, in the manufacturer's catalog you can find a variety of models according to their characteristics. All of them are divided into series, which, it should be noted, have already accumulated almost 2 dozen. They differ not only in technical data, but also in appearance.
Variety of patterns
Catalogexternal batteries "Hipper" is a list of different series. Each of them includes 2 or more device models. There are series such as Russian, MRX, Mirror, MPX, EP, Zoo, BS, XP, XPX, PSX, RP, SP, SPS, SLS.
For example, the models presented in the so-called "Russian series" look interesting. They differ in patterns applied to the body (Gzhel, Khokhloma). And some models are even made in the form of nesting dolls.
Zoo series is no less interesting. The body of the models in it is made in the form of heads of birds and animals. Moreover, they are produced in various colors, which allows the buyer to make his own choice. At the same time, the design does not affect the technical characteristics. Both practical and visually attractive.
Small sizes also available. They are classified in the series of "Keychain Batteries". They do not take up much space, and at the right time they will be very useful.
Battery capacity
The main characteristic of power banks is their capacity. Manufacturers put this value in the name of the model itself. So does Hipper. External batteries in their names have numerical designations, which just indicate their capacity. As a rule, this value varies between 7500-15000 mAh. This is enough to charge a mobile device for 1-2 days. For a longer period, you will need models with a larger capacity (for example, 20 thousand mAh).
When selecting devicesIt is worth noting that the efficiency of any device does not reach 100%. This means that the battery will not be able to fully give its energy to the consumer. Part of it will be spent on the functioning of the device itself. So, for example, if you need to charge a device with 7500 mAh, you need to purchase an external battery Hiper 10500 mAh, that is, with a larger capacity.
MP Series
Models of Hipper MP series external batteries are identical in their external design. They are made in the form of rectangles. The body is made of aluminium. They differ externally only in their size. Width varies from 70 mm to 170 mm, height from 90 mm to 220 mm. As for the thickness, this figure varies between 20-70 mm. At the same time, the weight of the devices increases from 200 to 454 g.
The battery capacity of this series is in the range of 7500-20000 mAh.
On the front side there is an indicator indicating the level of charge of the device. Next to it, you can find the on (off) button.
On the body you can find 2 connectors for USB, micro-USB, a slot for an SD flash card, 2 LEDs (replacing a flashlight), a slot for charging the device itself,
RP series models
Similar in characteristics to the models of the previous series are representatives of the RP series. Same clean look, same set of controls.
Models of this series are made of practical and reliable plastic in black or white,which is not afraid of dirt or scratches. This is quite relevant if the device needs to be used frequently.
On the case there are connectors for USB (there are 2 of them), micro-USB, charge level indicator (shows 4 segments).
The capacity of the Hipper RP series external battery can vary between 7500-15000 mAh. Even a device with a minimum capacity can "feed" a regular smartphone several times.
SPS Series
Hipper external batteries of this series are made of plastic, which looks like natural leather.
Models allow you to get a maximum output current of 2.1 A. At the same time, they are compatible with devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablets. They allow you to recharge even cameras and other devices that are capable of charging via USB.
Hiper SPS10500 black (10500 mAh) external battery can be considered a popular model of this series. Of the controls, the device has 2 USB connectors, a built-in micro-USB slot. The model is powered by a Li-Pol battery. The charge level can be tracked through the indicator.
In addition to the Hipper SPS10500 external battery, this series includes models with a capacity of 6500 mAh and above. In addition to the volume of the battery, they have similar characteristics with the considered model. They differ only in overall dimensions and weight.
