Hello everyone!

I have an X storm power bank for my laptop, it works really good and it holds a really big charge, but I've noticed that since I started using it like a month ago, the MacBook holds very little charge on its battery .

I usually charge it at about 80% so it's always topped up, and I never leave it longer than 100% but all of a sudden the battery doesn't hold that much power


Could it be the power bank messing up with the battery ?
 
The information to seek out, is how much amperage your laptop's charger outputs and compare it to your x storm (Xtorm?) power bank. I see the Xtorm's have a 3A output for their quick charge 3.0, which may in fact be a diminishing factor to your battery.

I always charge phones at 1Ah due to the nature of slow charging produces less heat which helps prolong battery capacities.

Thank you, I will do this!
