Other than an app like Be My Eyes, FaceTime or Aira, there's no way to tell how charged most power banks are. You basically need sighted assistance. The one accessible power bank I've got is from a company called Energrid and I can't find it for sale anywhere these days. I've never been able to use light detecting apps to distinguish the different lights on power banks to indicate their charge. They're just too small. Because of this, good charging habits are an absolute must. Plug any power bank in at least once per week to keep it ready. Also, be certain to purchase a power bank with a good amount of extra capacity. You can get 10000 MA capacity power banks which are small, inexpensive and durable. It's possible to carry those in a pocket if necessary. That's enough power to charge an iPhone at least twice fully. You can also use them to keep accessories like Bluetooth keyboards charged up. If you're carrying a bag with accessories such as a keyboard, you can get power banks with capacities like 26000 MA which can easily fit in the bag. They'll add some weight but are worth it for when you're away from power sources for days at a time. I hope somebody creates an accessible power bank perhaps like the one I have which vibrates or beeps to indicate the charge level. I also appreciate that it doesn't have a flashlight. For most power banks, it's advisable to use a light detecting app to check to make certain the built in flashlight is turned off. I've had incidents when I was unaware that the flashlight was on and uselessly shining in my pack draning the battery for days with me none the wiser. Hope this helps people out.
