Have you ever been bothered by your iPhone's battery draining rapidly while you're out and about? iPhones have become an essential part of our lives, and we use them more and more on a daily basis. Especially when using them for various purposes, such as navigation, social media, and work, the battery drains quickly, and you may find yourself running out of power while out and about. A mobile battery can come in handy in situations like these.
Among these, the 10,000mAh capacity is chosen by many people because it strikes a good balance between portability and charging capacity. In this article, we'll answer the question, "How many times can you charge an iPhone with a 10,000mAh mobile battery ?" We'll explain in an easy-to-understand way how many times you can actually charge an iPhone based on the battery capacity and charging efficiency of each iPhone model.
What is the battery capacity of an iPhone?
iPhone battery capacity varies by model and is generally expressed in units of mAh (milliampere-hours). iPhones have evolved year by year, and battery capacities have also increased. For example, the latest iPhone 16 series and iPhone 15 series have larger batteries than previous models, allowing for longer battery life.
Let's take a quick look at the battery capacity of each model. The table below shows the battery capacity of the iPhone 16, iPhone 15, and iPhone 14 series.
| iPhone Models | Battery capacity (mAh) | Reference information |
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | 4,685mAh | The largest capacity iPhone 16 series |
| iPhone 16 Plus | 4383mAh | Large screen for extended use |
| iPhone 16 Pro | 4300mAh | Highly efficient and long-lasting Pro model |
| iPhone 16 | 3670mAh | Standard iPhone 16 model |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | 4422mAh | The largest capacity iPhone 15 series |
| iPhone 15 Plus | 4383mAh | Large screen for extended use |
| iPhone 15 Pro | 3359mAh | High-performance, compact Pro model |
| iPhone 15 | 3350mAh | Standard iPhone 15 model |
| iPhone 14 Pro Max | 4323mAh | High-performance Pro Max model |
| iPhone 14 Plus | 4325mAh | Large-capacity battery for extended use |
| iPhone 14 Pro | 3200mAh | High-performance Pro model |
| iPhone 14 | 3279mAh | Standard iPhone 14 model |
*These battery capacity data are based on unofficial sources (e.g., teardown sites and prior leaks).
How many times can you charge an iPhone with a 10,000mAh mobile battery?
Specifically, if the capacity of a mobile battery is 10,000mAh, it should theoretically be able to charge an iPhone between one and three times. However, due to loss of power during charging, the actual number of times it can be used is usually less than this.
Estimated number of charging times
For example, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a battery capacity of 4,685mAh, so theoretically it can be charged approximately twice. However, the actual number of charges is approximately 1.5 times, taking into account charging efficiency. On the other hand, models with smaller battery capacities, such as the iPhone 14, can sometimes be charged approximately three times.
The actual number of charge cycles for a 10000mAh power bank is affected by the following factors:
-
iPhone model : The larger capacity Pro Max series will require fewer charges, while the smaller capacity standard and Plus models will require more charges.
-
Charging efficiency : Efficiency varies depending on the cable, adapter, and environment (temperature, usage, etc.).
As such, the number of charges you can get from a 10,000mAh mobile battery varies depending on the model, but as a guideline you can assume that it will be able to charge an iPhone about 1.5 to 3 times.

Key points when choosing a mobile battery
When choosing a mobile battery, it's important to consider a variety of factors, not just capacity. In particular, if you plan to use it in combination with an iPhone, you can choose a mobile battery that is both efficient and comfortable by keeping the following points in mind.
1.Capacity
Capacity is one of the most important factors. A 10,000mAh mobile battery generally has enough capacity for everyday charging, but you may want to consider choosing a larger capacity depending on your needs. For example, if you need to charge your iPhone frequently or when you're out and about for long periods of time, a large-capacity battery of 20,000mAh or more is appropriate.
2.Charging speed (output)
Charging speed is also an important point to consider when choosing a battery. Recent iPhones support fast charging, so choosing a mobile battery that supports fast charging will save you time. In particular, models with USB-C ports and batteries that support Power Delivery (PD) are ideal for fast charging iPhones.
3. Number of ports
The number of ports on a power bank is also important. If you want to charge multiple devices at the same time, a model with two or more USB ports is convenient. In particular, models with both USB-C and USB-A ports are more versatile, as they can be used with a variety of devices.
4. Design and size
The design and size of your power bank will also affect your choice. If you plan to carry it in your pocket, a compact and lightweight model will be convenient. On the other hand, if you plan to use it for long periods of time or need to charge it multiple times, you may want to choose a slightly larger battery.
5. Reliability and Safety
Safety is a very important factor when choosing a power bank. Choose a reputable brand and choose a model with various safety features (overcharge protection, temperature control, etc.) to prevent overcharging and short circuits.
