It's expensive but you'll see why from the specs.
Should arrive any day now - just waiting to clear customs.

That is expensive
Looks cool though but only 1 output.
For £25, you can get a 7000mAh dual output one from Amazon. Maybe this will last longer or gives closer to spec rating but 3 times more expensive.. still

This one is 12,000mAh, and is £37 at the moment from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet®-Du...0AYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334234941&sr=8-1
Looks like its the exact same design as the New Trent one that people have spoken about on this forum, but at a cheaper price.

Just real quick, wanted to post this up as its on sale today, maybe longer but I'm going to buy this one too. New-trent-super-pack-imp500
I just ordered this one Anker-5600mAhlast week so I'll see which is better all around and give the other to my buddy who is also getting the Evo 4G LTE.

On the german side of Amazon you pay more than the double of these prices for the chargers...
Unbelievable how different the prices are.

Just wanted to put the update here as I just posted it in the "Battery" thread as well.
SOOOOO (after seeing it on sale) I was going to order one of the New Trent IMP500 ifuel 5000mAh units BUT after not being able to find the output spec I emailed them and their units only do 600mA out so it will not charge at the same rate as the wall plug which does 1000mA (1amp per hour) just like the wall charger.
I did already (delivered yesterday) buy one of the Anker 5600mA Power Bank units which does, indeed, have the 1000mA output rating so I think I'm going to stick with this one. I had originally planned to try both the New Trent and Anker but since the New Trent (and from what they told me, none of theirs do) doesn't supply the 1000mA output, I'm not going to even bother.

I just got my newtrent 7000mah unit. Imp70d is the model name.
It has 2 outputs, 1ma and 2ma so suitable for iPad charging too.
Unit looks sleek and compact. Will be able to use it next week. Will report back if its any good.

I really want this phone! I am a big tweeter for football (soccer) so i am always connected when i am on an away day.
The fact this has no removable battery really puts me off getting this. I do have an external charger but its rather large and more ideal for camping for 2-3 days with no power supply.
Can you recommend any small chargers that would charge your phone for an extra 2-3 hours?
Thanks

Isn't that charger just what you are asking about?
That is small, super portable and will provide at least a full charge. I have the Anker 5600mA charger and its larger BUT easily fits in the pocket and will do 2 full charges at the same 1amp rate as the wall charger as well.
I can post a picture of it next to my E3D later if you'd like to see it but from your post, I think the one you quoted is really what you are looking for.

The portable charger I have is pretty heavy because it will charge the phone 4-5 times. I only want one that will keep the phone going without internet on in an emergency.

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/veho...rgable-battery-pack-2200mah-ipod-iphone-and-m
Im using Zagg Sparq 2.0.. Only 6000mah with 2 usb ports that can be used atthe same time. What got me sold on it is the form factor. Its very portable, similar to a macbook charger. The charging prongs is also the same as the macbook charger, its built in (foldable) and you plug it straight to a wall outlet. No need to carry extra/messy cables for charging.
However, I cant recommend it at $99. But got it on sale for $45 inc tax and shipping. Cant go wrong at that price
The Motorola microUSB external battery charger is quite thin and slim, and is capable of charging the One X to at least 80% from dead.
i use this one (check the site for pictures)

[Q] External Battery with AC Charging Speed

While I've been happy with my Newtrent IMP120D external battery, I just recently noticed it only charges at USB speed. This happens even with pins 2 & 3 shorted. Can anyone recommend an external battery that will charge at AC speed.

decided to give this a try. i came in yesterday and it does in fact charge at ac speed. however, a predicted, only works for the android port. using the apple port, it will only charge at usb speed. i get the same results even using a cable that has pins 2 & 3 shorted internally.

I'm really tempted to buy one (50000mAh !!!!)

That looks alright, but seems a bit cheap. The same model goes for twice the price locally, and I'm only a 5 hour fight away from China
By the way, check out this thread on how to be sure it's a genuine unit. I hope Aliexpress accepts returns and refunds if it's found to be a fake unit.

broken
Hello,
I was using a 5000 mah external battery and it was perfect, was writing ac while I was charging. However its cable was broken and now I'm using original cable of my phone. However It shows usb charging instead of ac and it takes so long to full charge. What can I do??
My phone is HTC ONE

all i know is the trent that i used to have, which i thought was fairly new, only charged at usb speeds even when using the "shorted" cable to force ac speeds.

It's called the imp70d. I'm using the cable that came with the one. It shows AC charging in the settings.
Edit: I stand corrected, it initially shows AC charging and then shifts to usb charging. weird!! This is sad.
Edit: I just noticed that it charges at usb speed to with my apple 12v charger. I wonder why.

I've been using this LG charger with my Nexus 4 since January and it has been flawless. Works great with my Nexus 7 as well. Highly recommend it.
I'm looking to buy the DT-910 as it props the device upright so I can use the nexus as bedroom clock. The other wireless charging thread has a couple of users that say it works well. There is also a link to cheap dt-900 (similar to what you linked) by you need to buy 3 to get it cheap and it's in the US. I'm UK based so no use to me.

just a question: the 900/910 stops charging when reach 100%?
I bought this Kookpad wireless charger off Amazon and had it waiting when my phone arrived on Monday. You can get it in white or black. It is very placement insensitive. I ordered a 2nd one last night so I could have one at the office.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQCUVPI/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Read through the Amazon reviews. Some people didn't like the buzzer on it, but most people found it charged well.

When I got my N5, I used a HP Touchpad AC charger (up to 2.0 Amp output), this USB current measuring device http://dx.com/p/usb-av-usb-power-current-voltage-tester-translucent-blue-silver-235090, and then measured the input current to my Note 2, Nexus 5, and then Koolpad (linked on my previous post) with my Nexus 5 charging on it. The battery was about 55% charged so we were definitely in the constant current section of the battery charge (maximum current). The results were.
Note 2 Input current = 1.28A
Nexus 5 Input current = 1.08A
Koolpad (charging Nexus 5) Input current = 1.09A
The tranfser of power between the Qi charger and N5 isn't 100% efficient so the current into the N5 is something less than 1.09A. Guessing efficiency is 70-90% so that would mean 700mA to 900mA (0.7A - 0.9A) into the N5. I have only had the phone since Monday, but the charging time seems to be very similar between using a cord and the Koolpad Qi charger.
That is the only Qi charger I have tested so far. I don't know how others compare. While researching Qi chargers, I had read some people post that the Nokia DT-900 charged on the slower side..... no data to back that up.
Do these alle work fine with cases?
What about the samsung qi charger ?

Anyway the wirless charger is not 100% efficient...if you search for a faster charge, use a 2,3a USB charger. (Remind the lion battery, for safe and longevity, have to be charge at Max the mah of the battery it self. So a 1000mah battery, Max 1a charger)
I got the Zens wireless charger from Shop Android. When it came I fell in love with the design and ordered 2 more for a total of 3 to have around the house. BIggest mistake ever. I also have the old Zens charger and the samsung S4 charger and the new zens is the only one that gets super hot. Don't know why but when I take the phone off its on fire. Sucks too because now I have 3 of these.

Don't know. It just stopped charging anything. Called Nokia, they said I have to buy another one.

There's definitely some quality control issues with the Nokia chargers, but I can't imagine them saying you'd have to buy another. Their service is outstanding (experienced with multiple defective 920s) and I can't imagine they'd just go tell you to kick rocks.

Well, it was the equivalent. I had to pay $15 to ship it there (I had to use UPS, I couldn't just use a $5 flat rate box). then $10 for them to look at it, then free shipping on the way back. That's $25. I can buy another charger for that money.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I didn't actually "buy" the charger. It just came with my 920 from att. That was their reasoning behind me paying shipping charges.

Cheapest Wireless Charger for Nexus 5

Heres a Video review i have found
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLpHkX5XM7s
heres the product link (ebay)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271266032045?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Edit: just got it works as expected and it's like a slim hockey puck and it really grips onto the back of my case and the device naked!
Oh and that Muchbuy logo made me create a little meme for it
It outputs 1A to the device like it should during AC Charging and it just looks badass
I made a youtube video myself on this charger (excuse the newbieness dont expect anything Android Authority like)

didn't see it but this is good enough
Hey I have the same charger. Can you try this for me.
Get a battery lower than 90%. Turn on Maps and set it to navigate somewhere. Put brightness at half and play music (at any volume). Can you watch your temperatures and see if you end up pushing 45C which implies "overheat" and therefore you won't charge?
Grabbed a generic one from eBay for 12 bucks been using for a month now its real big and does an excellent job.

I don't see why would you be using your phone while wireless charging. using your phone while charging kills the battery R.I.P my AT&T HTC One X, but ill try it once it arrives.
This is the one I'm currently using. Just a generic Qi charger off ebay. Has the same 5V 1A output as pretty much all other Qi chargers.
Works pretty good, no complaints.
I also just saw that it's even cheaper now than when I ordered it before. just ordered 2 more.
It's currently $11.42 with free shipping. (Choose Black Charging Pad or White Charging Pad from the drop down list).

I also just ordered this one for my desk.
Pretty cheap as well. $14.83 with free shipping.

The Nokia one was through AT&T. The bad thing is uses a barrel plug for power, which makes it a bad choice for travel. It is also bowled out, so the phones don't sit flat, which is kind of stupid.
Most will all work the same. The only difference between the cheaper models compared to the more expensive ones are the features. More expensive ones typically have multiple coils inside to allow multiple positions and ease of use. Cheaper ones typically only have 1 which means you have to sit it in the "sweet spot" vs just plopping your device down.
Some Qi chargers also have different methods for keeping the charge topped off. Some just reach 100% and turn off, so your phone starts consuming batter at 4am = 75% remaining when you wake up. Others will stop, start, stop, start, stop, start... which is ok... unless it has lights and beeps every time it starts/stops. Some describe it as a beeping musical/lightshow at 5am. Most should reach 100% and begin to trickle charge to keep it up.
So know what you're buying and make sure if you buy a cheap model/off brand, you can repurpose it or return/exchange if it doesn't work to your expectations. I've moved my cheaper ones into my home/work offices and I have a good Samsung model by my bedside.

Yeah, no worries on the flat charger I have. It only makes 1 initial beep when connected and that's it. Actually, I'm not sure if it's the charger or the phone that makes the beep haha. When it reaches 100% there's no extra sounds. It also keeps the phone topped off. So when I wake up in the morning it's fully charged, and cool to the touch.
here is what I got off of DX.com and it works perfectly

It's not even worth it at $12. Even being from Nokia, it only has a 750mA output current, so the charge time is going to be super slow. The one the OP posted has 1A output. The generic ones I posted are much cheaper and have 1A output.
I just received it today and it works like it should and it seems like charging is faster with the wireless chargers and the USB with the AC adapter

Awesome. Looks pretty cool. Have you tried this with any cases on? Like a thin tpu/hybrid case? Thanks

Figured I'd give that one a shot myself after seeing your post. Can't go wrong with a basic model that does the job well eh, especially at that price.

Yes it will charge faster from an AC adapter (if the amps are enough to fully power the charger) compared to USB into a computer. If you use a PC/Mac USB port there generally is not enough current to allow the charger to operate at full speed. If you have a charger that is 5V/1.5A Input make sure you have a USB adapter that provides at least the same output. If you have an adapter that provides higher (ex: 5V/2A) that is fine as too as the charger will only draw what it needs.

Exactly! It's functional and gets the job done nicely. And under $12, you can't go wrong.
