The following table outlines the key technical details of the Romoss Powerbank (20000mAh):

The Romoss Powerbank does not have traditional pins but features input and output ports. The table below describes the ports:

1. Charging the Powerbank:

   • Connect the Micro-USB or USB-C input port to a power source (e.g., wall adapter or computer) using the appropriate cable.
   • Ensure the power source provides at least 5V/2.1A for optimal charging speed.
   • The LED indicators on the powerbank will light up to show the charging progress.

2. Charging Devices:

   • Connect your device to one of the USB-A or USB-C output ports using a compatible charging cable.
   • The powerbank will automatically start supplying power to the connected device.
   • Monitor the LED indicators to ensure the powerbank has sufficient charge.

3. Checking Battery Level:

   • Press the power button on the powerbank to activate the LED indicators.
   • The number of lit LEDs corresponds to the remaining battery level:
     • 4 LEDs: 75-100%
     • 3 LEDs: 50-75%
     • 2 LEDs: 25-50%
     • 1 LED: 0-25%

• Use high-quality charging cables to ensure efficient power transfer and avoid damage to devices.
• Avoid exposing the powerbank to extreme temperatures (below 0°C or above 45°C).
• Do not use the powerbank while it is being charged to prevent overheating.
• Disconnect the powerbank from the power source once it is fully charged to prolong battery life.
• Store the powerbank in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

While the Romoss Powerbank is not specifically designed for Arduino projects, it can be used to power an Arduino UNO or similar microcontroller via the USB-A output port. Below is an example of how to connect and use the powerbank with an Arduino UNO:

// This example demonstrates powering an Arduino UNO using a Romoss Powerbank.
// The Arduino UNO is connected to the powerbank via the USB cable.

void setup() {
  // Initialize the onboard LED pin as an output
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Blink the onboard LED to confirm the Arduino is powered
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
  delay(1000);                     // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
  delay(1000);                     // Wait for 1 second
}

1. How many times can the powerbank charge my smartphone?

   • The number of charges depends on your smartphone's battery capacity. For example, a 3000mAh phone can be charged approximately 5-6 times.

2. Can I charge multiple devices simultaneously?

   • Yes, the powerbank supports charging multiple devices at the same time via its USB-A and USB-C ports. However, the total output current should not exceed the maximum rating.

3. Is the powerbank safe to use during air travel?

   • Yes, the Romoss Powerbank (20000mAh) complies with airline regulations for carry-on batteries. Always check with your airline for specific guidelines.

4. How long does it take to fully charge the powerbank?

   • It takes approximately 6-8 hours to fully charge the powerbank using a 5V/2.1A input.
