Mobile Phone Power Bank Out of Scrap Laptop Battery Packs

Abstract

Communication using technology is the most efficient way for people to achieved maximum productivity. The discovery of various communicating device such as mobile phones made efficient communication possible. Mobile phone is a very remarkable invention. Nowadays it became a main tool used in human life. It is an electronic device that is used to perform several operations, run an application, connectivity of wireless networks and data sharing in a network and cloud computing environment. The most important aspect of this communicating device is the efficiency of the battery as energy source. In this study, it sought to determine the efficiency of mobile power bank out of scrap laptop battery packs. It specifically looked into (1) the level of efficiency of the mobile power bank out of scrap laptop battery packs; (2) the significant difference between the mobile power bank out of scrap laptop battery packs and a commercial power bank in terms of (a) capacity ( mm Amp hr), (b) discharging time; and (c) cost. Using quantitative-experimental research design, it came out that the scrap laptop battery packs as mobile power bank has 80% efficiency. The t-test determined that there is a significant difference between the power bank out of scrap laptop battery packs and a commercial power bank in terms of capacity (mm Amp hr), discharging time and cost. It was concluded in that the improvised powerbank is efficient since it reached the standard percentage of efficiency of 70- 80%.Therefore, it is effective and reliable sources of energy of mobile phones thus the improvised Powerbank is more efficient when it comes to capacity (mm Amp hr), discharging time (minute), and cost (Peso) as compared with the commercial powerbank.
