Lightweight Travel Tip #9: Powerbanks are heavy

@rafzat: I have a question Is it always good to to pack all your luggage inside just one bag/box or two?

@chinito: yes, good tip there.. it's tempting to just pack the BIG size battery.. (I comprimized and chose the 'medium' of 5000 mah to carry around with me) another thing.. my previous phone still had a battery that I could switch out for a charged one if I needed.. can't really beat the speed, size, weight of that efficiency. Now, most phones have internal batteries that are not swappable like that. :( kinda makes me want to go back to a 'dumb' phone..

@outwars: While I do agree that powerbanks can be heavy, I think they are worth it when going on a vacation. Even a phone that usually lasts a day can run out quickly if you take a lot of photos and videos. The powerbank can be helpful when you are out until the night. It is good that you showed a lighter, smaller powerbank, which is just perfect. If you will be using a car though, you can get a car charger [USB or something that goes in the cigarette lighter] so you don't have to bring anything else.

@biyimi: When going for a travel or a journey, I always advice to have more than 1 luggage but it should not be that much so that it will not be bulky also
