Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/行動電源 vs 充电宝
power bank · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 电 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 行動電源; on the Mainland it is 充电宝 - both point at “power bank”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 行動電源、充電寶 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
