// WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

MYTH: mAh is only the tank size; charging speed is set by the watts (volts × amps) the power bank and cable can deliver.

// LESSON NOTES

Bigger power bank = faster charging? MYTH! 🔋❌

📦 mAh is only the size of the tank: how much energy it holds.
⚡ Speed comes from WATTS: volts × amps (5 V × 2 A = 10 W, 9 V × 2.2 A ≈ 20 W).
🏁 So a small 20 W power bank charges faster than a big 10 W one — the big one just lasts for more charges.

✅ Check the W number on the label
✅ Use a good cable (and a phone that supports fast charging)
