How to charge a powerbank?
Charging a powerbank is very easy. To begin, connect the included charging cable. You do this in the USB port of the powerbank. Then plug the charging plug into the wall outlet to charge the powerbank.
Before charging for the first time, always check the specifications of the powerbank. This indicates which devices your powerbank can charge and how often. For example, Fresh 'n Rebel powerbanks have a battery indicator. This allows you to see exactly what the battery level of your powerbank is. Wait until the powerbank is fully charged and then disconnect the charging cable to use it.
