Charging with the original – Charger will be faster than charging with computer usb port.
Current rating of charger – Charger with higher current will charge faster
Even though using the same charging method, the charging time may be differ due to environment,temperature(more temperature will increase charging time.), power flow and etc

What is mAh?
mAh mean milli Ampere Hour, the capacity of the power bank is measured in mAh
Is 12000mAh REAL CAPACITY power bank, able to charge a 1500mAh capacity phone for 8 times full?
This is a common mistake made by most people. Actually its not straight mathematics.There are many more things to look for like ‘efficiency’ of charger that ranges from 80% for normal power bank at 94% for branded power bank.Efficiency increases or decreases with change in current.Internal components of the power bank also affect this factor.
What are the different types of power bank ?
The common type will be 18650(Li-ion type)and a better type will be Li-Polymer found in reputed brands.
What’s the different between 18650 and Li-Polymer ?
– 18650’s(Li-Ion type) size and dimensions are fixed.Whereas Li-Polymer type is flexible in size and dimension.

– 18650 produces more heat whereas heat dissipation of Li-Polymer is better.It is much more safer
– 18650 are cheaper than Li-Polymer.
– 18650 type have higher self discharge rate.Li-Polymer have a very low self discharge rate.This means that battery percentage will get low fast in-case of 18650 and slower in case of Li-polymer when both are not in use.
– 18650 need less maintenance than Li-polymer
– Li-Polymer battery capacity are more durable than 18650 in long run.

What’s PCB ?
PCB means Printed Circuit Board.It has all the components like microchip embedded on it its controls the function of current flow inside the power bank. A good quality PCB will allow the power bank to charge more and have better durability
Is there a difference between branded power bank and generic power bank ?
Branded or Quality power bank mostly sell in REAL CAPACITY. Generic power bank mostly sell in MARKETING CAPACITY. That’s the reason why you will never see any branded power bank (standard size) have anything as high as 30000mAh – 50000mAh rating. That’s also the reason why a good power bank with lower mah are able to charge more or almost same compared to higher mah rated generic power bank
