In real use, it usually cannot. That does not automatically mean the power bank is defective or that its capacity rating is false.</p> <p>The apparent mismatch comes from comparing two battery capacities without accounting for voltage, energy conversion, and the power consumed while charging. A power bank stores energy in its internal battery, converts that energy into a form the phone can accept, and the phone converts it again as it charges its own battery. Each stage has limits and losses.</p>
