[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.

My Astro Anker 3e charges pretty fast.

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.

How accurate these things
I'm really tempted to buy one (50000mAh !!!!)

at least if it on par with (or close to) Anker® Astro Pro2 20000mAh
does anyone have any clarification?

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.

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

How odd. My new Trent charges like an AC and not usb

what model is yours? maybe it's an updated version?
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.

combined external battery plus wireless charger

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.

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

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 ??

Chargers!?! Where?

Anyone have any good places (preferably Amazon Prime) to get a few replacement chargers (and car too) that will rapid charge the device?
Thanks in advanced... I looked through the past 3 pages of threads and didn't see anything.
I found this one.. but not sure it will do the fast/rapid charging:

The best chargers to use are the blackberry playbook chargers. Ive been using these things since the note 3 and they charge fast! They are like 15 dollars for 5 of them on ebay. OEM and all.

Do they actually "fast" charge the Note 4?

You can only get the "fast" charge with the charger that came with the phone, although my old S4 charger charges the phone pretty quick too. Not as fast tho!

Most people agree and you can google for more assurance that they charged faster than the oem note 3 chargers. Im not exactly sure how fast it charges compared to this new "fast charging technology" but literally they charge so quick because of the ratings INPUT - 100-240V OUTPUT - 5V 1.8A. I dont even use my oem note 4 charger, i just have one of these in each room and they are perfect. Just ebay 1.8a blackberry playbook oem charger. The wire is pretty long too so thats great.
Edit: i have nothing to do with this ebay post or anything like that but here is what youre looking for. Just look around on ebay you will see people who have them in 3x or 5x bundles for like under 15.00

If you want a charger that charges the same as the cable that came with your phone, you'll need one that is Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 compliant. Click the link below to see a list of chargers that Qualcomm has officially certified.

Correct. The Motorola turbo chargers are the same thing just a different name. So you can use those as well.
As for the charger ratings. It actually needs to be 9volts 1.67amps. To quick charge. And also it needs to be able to change to 5v 2amps. Because quick charge actually changes voltage and amperage in the middle of charging and slows down in order to protect the battery.

Any update on this? Anyone find an official rapid charger?

Anyone scared that fast charging all the time is going to ruin their battery?

That's true. As long as it slows down when it gets up to a certain percent it's probably not that bad anyway

You can always just buy another one and swap it out though
Deals for batteries sometimes go around 30 bucks so it isn't that bad. I usually buy 2 anyways so I can have one just in case, but I don't think that will be an issue with the fast charging on this phone.

I ended up buying the Verizon Fast Charge chargers. confirmed to work with fastcharge as they're basically quickcharge 2.0 chargers.
I bought the Car charger and a wall charger. Normal price is $35.00 apiece.

found one on amazon

Tronsmart Car charges are great quality!Thx for great support.

Actually the Tronsmart car charger is one of the few that will charge your phone, and allow constant screen on for navigation.
Probably the best choice around.

LOL. The one on the lock screen disappears when you hit 70-80%. Only the + sign on the batt icon will appear. Also, charging from 80-100% will be slower than 1-79%. That is how Quick Charge 2.0 works.

aukey is good but Tronsmart is the best, work very well, when have a promotions in aliexpress we wins more the price low.

Tronsmart has so many models. I do not need 4 ports though. Which other models would support our phone?

I also just recently bought the [Qualcomm Certified] Tronsmart Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Car Charger. I haven't tried it yet but based on reviews I've read so far I can't wait to start using it & see if it's as advertised. Thanks for sharing.

Can this be used with a USB-C cable to charge the LG G5?

I just purchased this power bank from Amazon. It claims to have Dash charging speed. Although it's not as fast as warp charge it should be the fastest power bank out there for the Oneplus 7 pro. I should get it tomorrow.

Thanks just bought it! I looked into it, it does not support warp charging but it supports Dash Charge 5V/4A which is still nice. The power bank itself also supports Dash Charge 5V/4A which is the main reason I bought it. All the other power banks I owned took forever to charge, this should be a major upgrade.

Sorry for the late reply but i returned it. It did not consistently rapid charge. It seemed to only stay on rapid charge when it was at 90% or more sometimes. Otherwise it would only rapid charge for a few seconds.

Anything by Anker. I've had power banks, mains chargers, cables and even a few products from their Soundcore line and j can't fault them for function and build quality.
