Portable battery charger

Anybody have recommendation for a good, portable battery charger that's not too big? I don't want those big square ones. I was looking at this one from this deal site...http://casepapa.com/deals/universal-2600-mah-battery-charger/
There's no brand, but it's only $13, so not much risk involved

Get a Pebble XT 5000maH you can get 2 or 3 full phone charges out of this before it needs charging again.

There are even smaller versions of that particular model called smart sticks. They have good capacities but charge slowly.

I can't live without my pebble, even my wife has twigged onto the fact I have one and it works with her iphone. I've known her go out with it in her handbag

I bought this one.

It's trustable and good.
Bye,

I use this, it's cheap but it works well.

First I bought a cheap external 2500 mAh charger with solar panel that it gave me enough juice to make many photos and keep internet on all day on travel holidays. But I bought an MacBook Air 11" and now I use it as external usb charger anywhere I go. It's to small to not take it with me when I make trip longer than a battery charge.
So if you have a mini laptop you can use it as external usb charger with a lot of juice for your phone. I keep always the MBA on a backpack or a messenger bag and the phone on my pockets with a charging cable connecting them.
And never felt since the need for another external charger.

Could Galaxy S3 use Qi wireless charger?

Anybody use it, please give some suggestion.

I use it on my S3. The charging speed is not that fast compared to USB, which I think is well-known. The back cover gets a bit warm also, and I have an Otterbox Commuter case as well, which gets a little bit warm also. It charges just fine through the case.
This is the one that I ordered, as it came with the charging pad and receiver for the phone.

Hope this helps!

I have one of the first gen receiver pads and it charges faster than USB but slower than AC.
check ebay. use search terms like "i9300 qi reciever"
just get the reciever pad.
the best charger pad imo is the nokia ones. they're regularly on sale from 20 -25 bucks for the most part. just do some searching online.

Any Wireless charging system or standard that has the two contacts to fit the contacts that are in the Battery compartment and fits will work....A wireless Standard isn't built into the phones, just the Transmitter and Receiver Coils....

QI wireless charging is nice... However I notice the connector from the QI receiver will interfere with the smart cover slot anyone?

look what i found^^

notice there is 2 connection on the smart cover.. the QI receiver use same slot...
You can find a quality charger kit on ebay... just to be safe... look for "Top Rated Seller" and someone with high feedback score to be safe..

oh, and because i'm such a sweetheart:
http://slickdeals.net/f/6904263-nok...e-in-black-or-white-new-bulk-18-free-shipping
18 bucks for a really decent charging pad. I have 2. one for my bed side and one on my desk.

This one works great with mine and I have the lifeproof case on it.

Of course you can not break yusb port, only one drawback - the phone longer charged

Sure, I am doing it since some weeks ago. I even designed and 3D printed and QI charging base:

Very interesting...
Can you tell me which of the two connectors on the left side is for plus (+) and which is for ground?
I am thinking about installing a Qi receiver.

Did you directly place the cell phone on the charger or you had installed a special cover (like s view cover) to charge the cell phone?

Is the wireless receiving plate already in the phone, rather than on the s-view cover? I dont see any special charging cover on the OP's phone, though I cant see if its charging or not?

I tried to install a charging pad in my Note 3 Neo.
After several tries I think the two connectors will not work as charging connectors.
In my opinion, they are used only to identify the S-View Cover.
After installing a Qi-receiver the charger recognized the charging pad, but there was no charging massage on the phone.
My S-View Cover didn´t work with installed charging pad.
The pictures above show only the charging station. On the display ist no indicator for charging.
So I believe, that it is not possible to charge the Note 3 Neo via Qi.
If someone has a wirking Qi-Charger I am very interested in this solution.

I can see in your Google Plus photo that you are using a Galaxy S III receiving module. How did you managed to make it fit. Does it fits natively, or did you have to make some adjustments to it? How is the back cover coming, any extra thickness in there? Please share more details (with pics:laugh.

Time and knowledge have been invested in design and development and now we need your help to finish this product. We are about to start crowdfunding campaign, please follow us at:
Indegogo Campaign

as you working on the MOD design, is there a way to use the pogo pins w/o any extra circuit/chip to charge or supply with power?

Unfortunately no. Just short time after connecting Mod to the phone pin (corner top left hand size) is open (from phone perspective) and can accept charging. However, if communication through main connector between phone and mod does not exist, this pin will be closed from phone side and phone can not be charged. Answer is that you can not just hook ub battery or anything else to charge phone. You actually need micro-controller who knows how to talk to the phone.

QI Charger stand. Difference?

Hello there fellers...
Is there any difference between last gen. wireless charging stand and the new one released together for S8?
Does the new one have faster charging speed?

If you mean this one,

I got one and did not like it. Unlike the Samsung Qi charger I had purchased for my car, this one seems to cycle constantly. So it goes on battery, and the phone discharges for a while, then it starts charging, then you get a full charge and it turns off and the cycle starts over. I found it too annoying to use.

Thanks. The new convertible stand looks great but is a bit expensive for now.
Edit: I read on a review for this model that "the correct power supply must be used for it to function properly."

If you mean that it should use the cables/wall plug that it came with, yes, that's true. I have two of them and without a quickcharging cable/cable, it doesn't charge/work as a quick charger.

Sindroid,
Here is the one I have been using
https://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Char...24826&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+wireless+charger
Works very well, not high speed but 3.5 hours for full charge and very sturdy. Also has the rubberized grip so very sturdy for the phone to sit on as well. Highly recommend it.

This looks very cool. Does it come with cables and a wall plug? I see "a" cable, but not sure if comes with all the necessary cables. I found it on the US site for $25 (guessing that's what it is at the exchange for CAD).

I'm using the new convertible charger. So far so good.
