I'm going on vacation to a foreign country, and I need a portable battery charger for the road for my Galaxy Nexus. Can anyone recommend a good portable battery charger.?

I have the Mili Candy, great for a quick charge. On their website is a bunch of others that will give you a longer charge.

I have seen cheaper ones then the mili but I can't recommend any as I don't use them.

I have one of these from Amazon and works great with AA or 9 volt batteries. LINK
AA batteries should be available or you can just buy rechargeable ones (thats what I do)
Edit: This device doesnt recharge your rechargeable batteries, you would have to take along a charger for those as well which might be too cumbersome for you. Either way, just another option.
Then when you get home you can use it as a regular charger.
Have a safe trip!

I have a GSM galaxy nexus and 2 stock 1750 batteries
I need to charge both overnight so one is charging in my phone and the other I need a battery dock or something.
Is there any available that charge just the battery?

I have one of these, works great, doubles as a phone stand:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110804935295&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:CA:1123
I can recommend this one:
http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Multi-Purpose-Universal-Sensation-Thunderbolt/dp/B004B8ECR4
Then you don't need to buy a new battery charger every time you buy a new phone.
I don't have that specific model being from europe - but I do have the one from the same company made for the EU market.
There's this nifty usb socket on it which works both ways. If you plug the charger in to a 110V socket it can also charge your mobile phone. And if you plug it in to your computer (or anything else with a usb-out) you can charge the battery from it.

i second this charger, it will save you from having to buy new battery chargers in the future. i used it for my lg p500, moto atrix and now galaxy nexus.
Anyone have any good recommendations on a secondary battery charger? I have the extended battery in my Nexus just about all the time, but I've been noticing its time to start carrying around a spare battery with me.
If possible I'd love it to be cheap, maybe sub $15, and any little add in features like built in phone charger or cradle would be excellent too. If possible, I don't want something so cheaply made that it may blow up my house
I saw the official Samsung charger, but $25 seems kind of steep for just a battery charger. I may just go for it in the end, but I'd assume you guys know a lot about whats out there.
Just charge both battery's in the phone while at home, one at a time and simply carry it around after? Saves you $

Theres a simple battery charger for like 4 dollars on obostore
Wow, thanks for the obostore recommendation.
FYI: That $4 charger is only for the i9250 (GSM) Galaxy Nexus.
Also, curse you all for not linking to it and making me take 20 seconds to find it .
Link for the lazy.
You can get a pair of extended batteries and a standalone charger on eBay for about $22.
There are some docks on ebay and amazon (if you are looking to spend a little extra $) that would charge up your phone and have a spot for an extra battery to charge up at the same time.
Edit: On a completely unrelated note this site is awesome and these things are so cheap!

Finally found an external battery pack that will charge our beloved A100...............................but will also need to purchase a charger cable.
The battery pack is the Anker 10000mAh which has the option of 9v or 12v output http://www.amazon.com/Warranty-1000...F8&qid=1345071382&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+10000
The link for the charger cable is here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A8LI1O/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?tag=amaz98-20
Voila!!! I am using this battery pack to charge 4 different accessories without having to bring along 4 different wall adapters.

Thanks but people have been building external batteries since these came out...using cctv batteries, though that one looks a lot cleaner lol
Basically it uses that up first then switches to internal so you get a ton more life from it.

Given its mah vs ours I'd say maybe around 6 times what we get. So if you figure say 4 hours depending on OC and brightness, and if its the only device on it, maybe 20-24 hours. This is pure guesswork and estimation a lot can effect it. I'm not sure how running at 12v will affect its life either. I'd say at a minimum at least twice what you get now. Better load up that SD card lol

A friend got this one and it works very well, he claims 3x to 5x of a regular charge. His only complaint was that it was a bit on the flimsy side,(but hes a hardware snob.)
I got my nexus 5 (32gb white) last week and love it. I am searching for an exteranlnrechargable battery and found Anker Astro Series to be very nice. I am also in search of a wireless charger and some products could be found in different threads. I do not know if it is possible to combine the two functions into one. Please tell me if you have any ideas and suggestions. Thank you.
If you don't know, try googling it:
https://www.google.com/search?q=qi+charger+battery+pack
Don't own one myself, so i did just that just now.
Don't buy this one I just sent it back it isn't good as a overnight charger causes the phone to get very hot and reboot then starts to drain your battery down.

Thanks. It looks very nice. $55 is not very expensive. I assumed that it is compatible with Nexus 5 since it listed Nexus 4 in its specification. Any experiences with this charger?
I've been looking at getting one of these to use overnight and then take it with me for trips for the n5 and n7. Anyone else have experience with these types of chargers? If I plug it into a wall will it charge my n5 and the brick or will it charge the brick first then the phone or visa versa?

Lugulake Qi Charger/Power Bank. Combines both functions into one and can even charge another phone via USB while your phone is charging on the Qi pad. Heard it was really good.

I was seriously considering the Anker Astro E5 15000mAh External Battery until I wanted a wireless charger. Thanks for your comments.

Sure, you can combine the two functions into one. Get a RAVPower Qi charger with built-in 4800mAh battery pack.

As they upgraded the surface, I guess there will be a upgraded power bank version on Amazon soon.

if you short of power and need a external battery pack, why would you combine it with the lossy and slow Qi charging?

It looks like it can charge phone both wire and wireless. So just give me one more option when I am not in a rush since I am little bit worried about the slim micro-usb of the phone.
What was the choice?

There's a brand called metrans that combine wireless charging in a power bank , Google it in ebay.

Hello everyone,
I hope to buy a power bank for my new Nexus 5.
I have made many search and I found that all power bank provide more that 1.2 A as output.
I noticed that the Nexus 5 official charger provide 1.2 A as output. So if I will buy a power bank that provides 2A or 3A, this will make problems for the phone battery ??
It is real that the important amperage charge the phone very fast, but this will not make problems for the battery ??
Finally after waiting a few weeks, I finally found an alright priced battery. Found it on eBay with free shipping, $32, OEM new spare lg battery. I still can't wait for the zerolemon. I think it's just horrible that the prices for this batteries are this high compared to anker and such.
Can you share a link please?

Sure thing! I won't receive the spare battery till tomorrow but I did receive the dock with spare charger built in yesterday.
The dock is is visually pleasing except for the company sticker that I peeled off pretty easily. It was able to charge my phone with Supcase without problems in 2hours from 20% Build quality seems solid. I'm pretty happy with it. Once I get my spare batteries tomorrow I'll test to see how well it will charge my phone and spare together.

Its worth it I think. Apparently the ones that have gripes with it are from M8 owners? But honestly for $16.99 it's pretty good. Fits the LG G3 with Supcase very nicely. Its hard enough to find a spare charging unit for our phones let alone the spare batteries.
Update:
I have had this dock with spare battery charger for a few days now. Been charging my spare batteries along with my phone and it's safe to say that it does well charging my phone and spare batteries completely to 100% so happy with my purchase

Zerolemon is around the corner, why not wait for that.
Just got this one today. Another charger that charges to 100%
Fast charging: The battery holder can charge at a speed of up to 5V 1A (most universal chargers charge at a speed below 500mA).
Smart charger: Automatically recognizes an inserted battery's voltage and polarity. An LED indicator keeps you informed about the charging status of your battery.

I have been looking for an inexpensive charger. Does this one hold the G3 battery tightly? I've had similar wall chargers and if the battery does not fit snugly, it slides away from the charging poles and does not charge.
Edit: I watched an amazon customer video review, it appears to hold a battery pretty securely.
I may pick this up. Thanks for the link.
