You should specifiy the minimum capacity you need.

One of the more important criteria I look for is the ability for the=20
power bank to stay on with very little load, as many devices I use will=20
not draw enough current at times and the power bank will shut down. =20
This one has a feature where if I turn on the built-in LED light, it=20
will keep the USB ports on...
