Batterie de secours externe
J'ai rencontré ce terme dans un texte que je traduisais. J'ai vainement recherché son équivalent en français sur Internet. En fin de compte, j'ai moi-même concocté "batterie de secours externe" qui, à mon humble avis, rend mieux le terme "power bank". Sans vantardise aucune, je trouve ma proposition moins ambigu que "station de recharge" par exemple. Je pense aussi que "batterie de secours portable" pourrait aller.
Discussion
Can it still be called a batterie portable or chargeur since it also has a built-in emergency torch?
