Staying Connected
Power Banks
According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index: Global Media Data Traffic Forecast Update, average smartphone usage grew 45 percent in 2014. Also, the number of mobile-connected tablets increased 1.6-fold to 74 million in 2014. That’s a lot of tablets and smartphones being used, which means a lot of batteries are being drained. Kim Collins, director of marketing for Crown Products, Mobile, Ala., explained why power banks are so popular right now. “We are living in a world of staying connected,” Collins said. “Portable power banks are ideal for people on the go and [who] need a quick charge for their mobile device.” Collins added that power banks are perfect for the travel, mobile and entertainment industries.
