Tronsmart 10A/90W 5 Port Quick Charging Hub
Tronsmart 5 Port Titan
Overview
There was a point in time earlier this year where I had 5 phones, and a tablet which all needed charging. When I would go to school, or travel it was always a hassle to bring multiple chargers, and cables whenever I decided to charge more than 1 device at a time. My wife would also need to charge her phone which only added to the number of devices that needed to be charger. I no longer have an excessive number of phones, or a tablet, but this Tronsmart 5 port 90W charger would have made things much easier.
The charger itself is rather large, but it is meant to sit on a desk/nightstand so you can plug in all of your devices and charge them quick if they support QC 2.0 or even 5V/2.4A (as iphones, and older android devices do). Each port can supply the same amount of power even when you have 5 QC 2.0 devices side-by-side on charging; needless to say this charger can really deliver the power needed without carrying around multiple separate chargers. Tronsmart claims this charger has the highest overall output of any 5 port model, and I agree with them.
Update [1/7] Tronsmart stated they are going to include a longer power cable in the future (sometime soon). I will also be adding more to the OP in the next 1-2 days
Update [3/15] I was sent a longer power cable that works great. It is now 5[ft] long which is a big improvement over their previous 3[ft] cable. I can now position the Titan better on my desk without having to rearrange things like I did in the past.
What’s in the box
The charger includes a power cable and some informational cards inside, but the setup is self-explanatory.
Build & Design
The charger is small enough to carry around if you wanted to in a small bag, but it’s still fairly large. On the bottom side there are 4 rubber feet which keep the charger from moving around while stationary on a desk. The overall construction is a nice feeling plastic with glossy edges, and a matte center that create a nice contrast and ‘premium look’. The charger feels right at home on my desk next to my Surface Pro 4 Dock even though its bigger.
All 5 of the ports are green on the inside just like Tronsmart’s other charger I was sent. This gives the charger a nice look, and can help you locate the ports when it’s a little darker inside. The power cable for the charging station measures around 3[ft] which is on the shorter side. I would have preferred if the power cable were at least 6[ft] for convenience.

Charging
I only have 2 Nexus 6P’s right now to test the charger with, but I will try to get some of my friends together and charge phones on all 5 ports simultaneously. I used a USB voltage multi-meter to test the output of the ports along with a Tronsmart Type A-C cable to charge my Nexus 6P. When powered on there is an indicator light on the front right hand corner that will turn green as a nice touch. The port consistently giving 5.3V/1.55A via the A-C (correct 56K resistor) cable. This is what I would expect given the way A-C cables are supposed to behave. The charger will ramp up the voltage for QC 2.0 enabled devices to 9V and 12V depending on the way Qualcomm defines their charging.
Outputs:
5V/2A (10W) , 9V/2A (18W), 12V/1.5A (18W)
Test with my Nexus 6P and a Tronsmart Type A-C Cable
Summary
I am impressed with the quality and performance of this charger, and I would buy one as a gift for someone who needs some serious charging capacity for their home/office.
I would like to see a longer power cable supplied in the future, but other than that small detail the charger is excellent!
[3/15] The new longer cable is great, and now I have more flexibility with its positioning.
Tronsmart 4.8A/36W Dual Port Travel Charger (QC 2.0)
Tronsmart Dual Port Travel Charger
Overview
This charger is a great portable way to charge multiple devices in a smaller package. The charger can output a maximum of 4.8A (2.4A each port) and 36W giving you the ability to quick charge your devices.
What’s in the box
The charger includes 2 USB Type-C to Micro USB cables along with some documentation.
Build & Design
This charger looks like a miniature version of the desktop unit above. It features the same plastic construction with a glossy edge/matte center. A nice little feature of this charger is the ability to fold the plug nearly flat (the very tips of the plug stick out so you can easily unfold it) which bodes well for its portability.

Charging
Tronsmart’s charger will output the same 18W as their desktop unit allowing you to somewhat future proof your charging needs for at least the time being. The charger also features a small green indicator light on it that isn’t bright enough to bother me at night (a good sign). It’s good to see a multi-port quick charger because last year when I bought my Nexus 6 any QC 2.0 charger, let alone a dual port model was hard to come by.
Outputs:
5V/2A (10W), 9V/2A (18W), 12V/1.5A (18W)
Summary
Tronsmart designed a great portable quick charger that is another nice addition for anyone that needs to charge multiple devices. The charger will still work great even if you have a single device, but the extra port won’t hurt if you get another device.
I will update this review periodically if anything changes, and hopefully I will be able to test all of the ports with QC 2.0 devices simultaneously.

Nice.

RAVPower 20,100 mAh Power Bank with Quick-Charge 3.0 & USB Type-C Inputs Review

Hey guys,
I was recently looking for a high capacity power bank that supported Quick-Charge 3.0 and USB Type C since I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy Tab S3.
After an extensive search, I decided upon the RAVPower 20,100 mAh 3-Port USB External Portable Power Bank (Model #: RP-PB043) as it seemed to fit all my needs. I honestly couldn't be happier with this purchase and thought I'd give it a review.
Pros:
Huge 20,100 mAh Capacity - Uses six Panasonic 3,350 mAh 18650 Lithium Ion Batteries inside. I opened mine up and I managed to get Panasonic cells. The website says you can get Panasonic or LG, depending on regional availability. I was able to charge my Galaxy S7 Edge a little over 5 times. It has a 3,600 mAh internal battery, so this is a respectable efficiency of nearly 90%. You will always lose some of the max capacity due to heat transfer in the charging process. To figure out how many times you would be able to charge your device... take the max capacity of the Power Bank (20100 mAh) and multiply that by the efficiency (roughly 85 to 90% for this model), and divide that by your devices internal battery (i.e. 3600 mAh for GS7 Edge).
High-Speed 2A Input - Most Power Banks only have a 1A input to charge. This means it would take nearly a day to recharge to full capacity for a Power Bank of this size. Fortunately this model has 5V/2A input. I used the included Quick-Charge 3.0 Wall Charger and the Power Bank was fully charged from 0 to 100% in 4 hours and 50 minutes, can't beat that!
3-USB Port Outputs - 1 Quick-Charge 3.0 Port, 1 USB Type C Port, and 1 is art 2.0 Port (See tech specs below). This means this Power Bank supports pretty much any device you throw at it. The iSmart port will even work with those dreaded Apple products that your family members have the misfortune of using.
LED Light Power Indicator - There are 4 White LED Lights that you can check the % of battery life remaining on the Power Bank.
Full Accessory Package: Includes 1 RAVPower Quick Charge 3.0 USB Wall Charger, 2 Small Flat microUSB Cables, a micro USB to USB Type C Adapter, and a nice mesh traveling case. The short microUSB cables are a godsend because they allow you to keep your devices close to the Power Bank without having a huge wired mess. The Type C Adapter will also come in handy because I always need those in a pinch with my Galaxy Tab S3 since I have so many microUSB cables.
Lifetime Warranty - Yes, you read that right. This Power Bank is backed by a Full Lifetime Warranty with online registration (see warranty card in box). This is something unheard of in the Power Bank industry and really means they stand behind their product and its well-built. Not even companies like Anker offer longer than 18 months.
Cons:
Rather Basic Finish - The Power Bank is matte black plastic and nothing exciting in terms of looks. There are no other color options, so if you have a white device, you're out of luck if you want them to match.
Accuracy of LED Indicator - With only 4 LED Indicators, you are left guessing what % of capacity is left. Each dot represents 25% capacity. 0 to 24%, 25 to 49%, 50% to 74% and 75% to 100%. I prefer having a digital display showing the approximate % remaining from 0 to 100%.
No Built-In LED Flashlight - Many Power Banks have a built-in LED Flashlight for the dark. This model DOES NOT which isn't a huge negative, but I still have found myself using it sometimes on other models when the power went out.
RAVPower RP-PB043 Technical Specifications:
Input (Micro): 5V - 12V 2A Max (QC), 5V / 2A (Non-QC)
Input (Type-C): 5V / 3A Max
USB Output: 5V / 2.4A Max
Type-C Output: 5V / 3A Max
QC 3.0 Output: 5V / 2.4A, 6.5V~9V / 1.5A, 9V~12V / 1.2A Max
SIDE NOTE: Not realizing that this Power Bank came with cables included, I also managed to pick up this unique RAVPower 3.3 Ft. 2-in-1 USB 3.0 Type A & Type C Connector Cable (Model: RP-TPC006). I haven't seen anything like this before and when it was on a special Prime Day lightning sale I decided to snag one. It definitely comes in handy because it can be connected with tons of devices since it has dual-purpose connectors. Not only that, but it is also braided and very high quality. If you're in the market for a Type C cable... it might also be worth considering, especially since it also has a Lifetime Warranty.

Review: Auckly 10000 mAh USB-C powerbank

I recently recieved my Auckly W126 10000 mAh powerbank and wrote this short review from the perspective of a Google Pixel 2 XL owner.
Disclaimer: I purchased this item for the full price at Amazon. I am not related to the manufacturer and did not receive any incentive for the review.
Specs
capacity: 10000mAh
ports: 4 (USB-C in/out, Micro-USB in, USB-A QuickCharge out, USB-A out)
Micro-USB in: DC 5V-2A max
USB-C in: DC 5V-2.4A 9V-2A 12V-1.5A 18W Max (supports both USB-C to USB-C recharging powerbank and charging device)
USB-C out: DC 5V-2.4A 9V-2A 12V-1.5A 18W max
USB-A QuickCharge: DC 5V2.4A / 9V2A / 12V1.5A (supports QC 3.0)
USB-A: DC 5V-2.1A Max (no quickcharge)
Attention: all ports can be used at the same time but if so without PD or QC
Dimensions: 132 * 65 * 11mm
weight: 208g
Box contents
The box contains the powerbank, a low-quality Micro-USB-to-USB-A 1in cable (which you can safely throw away) and a short manual.
Sadly, there is no sleeve/pouch/etc.
Design & built
This powerbank targets the compact department as it is both small and leightweight. I owned an Anker PowerCore+ 10000mAh powerbank before and I like this one better: It is a little bit larger but alot thinner. Even it is made out of plastic, it still looks classy with rounded edges, a clean top and a rubber-coated bottom.
It features 4 ports, 4 LEDs to indicate the battery state and a button to turn on the LEDs.
Usage
The powerbank provides 2,5 charges for the Pixel 2 XL with near-than-zero power losses. Power delivery works perfectly and the Pixel 2 XL starts rapid charging when connected.
Time until full was equal to the stock charger. It can also rapidly recharge when connected to the stock charger via USB-C.
The first LED turns green when PD/QC is active which is a handy indicator.
Accessories
Since the powerbank does not include a USB-C-to-USB-C cable, you need a 3rd party cable. The cable that is included with the stock launcher works fine. Nevertheless I purchased an Anker PowerCord II USB-C-to-USB-C cable (3in) which provides Power Delivery, is high quality and fully spec compliant.
I have not purchased a sleeve yet but am planning to do so. Since the powerbank has nearly the dimensions of a common smartphone, it should not be hard to find one.
Verdict
I highly recommend this powerbank. It provides enough power for 2,5 charges, charges rapidly and has a good built quality. For me, it hits the sweet spot between capacity and portability.

Where is it sold? Sounds like they are ripping off the Aukey Amazon name.

I bought it at Amazon Germany:
https://www.amazon.de/10000mAh-Auck...d=1516980877&sr=8-1&keywords=auckly+powerbank

I got one too. It's very nice. Love it. Keeps the charge and my wife uses it all the time. I take it out of her purse and charge it once per week. It's remarkable how much capacity this can hold.

Aukey PB-Y14 20000mAh PowerBank

For review today, I have an Aukey PB-Y14 Powerbank rated at 20000 mAh. Overall I really like this Powerbank. It is very versatile in so much that it can be charged with a lightning plug, USB-C, or Micro-USB. For outputs it has 3 USB-B plugs and the lone USB-C is also an output. Charging speeds are slow being that this powerbank doesn’t support Quallcom’s QuickCharge in any way. Having said that it still does a great job. I already owned another Aukey powerbank (Model PB-T10) which does support QuickCharge 3.0 and it is very fast. Once depleted, the PB-Y14 takes quite a while to charge, but to be fair it is a pretty large battery. It has only needed to be charged once since I’ve received it, and so far it has charged my Note 9 twice and my Chromebook once, battery life as indicated by the row of LED’s on the side shows 50%, so it seems to be holding its own quite well and I like the battery display on this unit much better than that of the PB-T10 which shows you a colored led and you must remember which color coincides with what power range. In summary the PB-Y14 is a very good power bank but would not be my only choice. I like it quite a lot, but I also like my PB-T10 an equal amount. I will continue to keep the PB-T10 in my daily carry bag and perhaps keep the PB-Y14 around home for emergency power in case of outage or possibly to be a mobile power supply for a small computer such as a raspberry pi. My recommendation would be to weigh out your needs as these are both high quality and very affordable. If you must have fast charging, go for a different model such as Aukey’s PB-T10. If you have a need to charge more than 2 devices (the PB-T10 only has 2 outputs) or greater versatility for charging your powerbank (the PB-T10 only has lightning and micro-usb inputs) go for a PB-Y14.

[review] baseus GaN 45W and 120W chargers (now with XDA discount codes!)

i'm back with a few more chargers to test, this time from baseus which i have to admit i've never tried before. they sent me the 45w charger/10000mah power bank as well as their 120w 3 port wall charger. the first thing that jumped out at me is the size of these things. even though they employ GaN they are larger than I'm used to. it is somewhat understandable on the 45w charger as it also doubles as a power bank, but i was really surprised at how big the 120w charger was. that said, performance on both of them were great and they feel really dense, so they don't appear to be wasting any space.
the 45w charger was the one i was intrigued the most by because of its versatility as a wall charger and a portable power bank. you can plug it in to use as a charger or charge the 10000mah battery, and both usb c ports can be used to charge the battery as well. baseus claims 45w max output on ac power or 30w max on portable power through either of the type c ports individually, or when used together 30w+15w or 15w+30w on ac power and 18w+18w on portable power. i tested it using my pixel 5 and a completely dead samsung chromebook plus and noticed consistently that the top port had a slightly lower voltage than the bottom, despite both being rated for the same. neither port delivered a full 45w on my testing. with the chromebook and the charger plugged in the top port maxed out at 2.35a/14.6v, with the bottom port delivering 2.35a/15v. plugging in a second device dropped the charging speed to 1.85a/8.7v and 1.9a8.8v for top/bottom. in powerbank mode the top/bottom gave 2.2a/11.7v and 2.2a/11.9v individually, 1.9a/8.8v and 1.9a/9v with a second device plugged in.
the 120w charger offers 3 ports, 2 usb c and 1 usb a. theoretical power output gets a bit complicated; the usb c ports can put out up to 100w individually, or 60w+60w when used together. either usb c port used with the a port will put out a max of 87w with the a port delivering 30w, and if you use all 3 together the top c port will put out 60w, with the bottom c and the a port putting out 30w each. in my testing i was able to maintain charging speeds of 1.85a/19.2v on the top port regardless of what the other ports were doing. on the bottom port the speed was similar, but dropped to 2.2a/12v once i had all 3 ports in use.
as i mentioned earlier these chargers are quite large and heavy. the 120w is noticeably heavier and larger than a 90w 3 port charger i recently tried out. obviously it delivers 33% more power and there is a lot to be said for that, but i think for most users this would be more of a wall solution versus a travel charger. the 45w charger is much larger than a few other 60w chargers i have, but again this baseus charger offers a fairly unique advantage of both plugging in and using portable power. while these chargers dont fall into the ultra-packable categories, they both offer value in the extras they can deliver. right now the 120w charger is available on amazon for $44.99 after clipping the on-page coupon, and the 45w for $32.99 after clipped coupon, and if you buy both it gives you an extra $5 off of each. as always these are not affiliate links; im not affiliated with any of these companies and dont receive any compensation for these reviews.

I'm using my Xiaomi 55W wireless charger with the 120W supply that came with my Mi 10 Ultra. Works a treat.

So what actually is the FASTEST charger that can be safely used with the P5 apart from the supplied Google charger that comes with the P5 and the Google Pixel Stand ?
If a non UK forum member replies, remember I'm in the UK, so ideally I'd like one that I can source in the UK, but I'd still be interested in what others are using.

As far as I'm aware, using a charger with more power than the supplied charger makes no difference. The device decides how it will draw power.
These high wattage chargers are mainly for laptops.

I bought this 45W charger few days ago, but with one usb-c and one usb-a port. First I bought variant with 2 usb-c ports, but it didn't work well, it only charged from the wall, but when tried to charge from battery, phone started to charge power bank instead of the power bank charging phone, so I returned it and got the variant with one usb-c port and with one usb-a port, because they didn't have option with two usb-c ports anymore. I actually love this charger, because you can use it for both, as wall charger and as power bank and that's awesome for traveling and it also have PD. But I don't think it's really 10000mAh power bank. I tried to charge my phone from power bank, the power bank was fully charged, and my Pixel 5 was 50% charged. I left it overnight and it charged my phone to 100%, but power bank has only 25% battery left (1 light on out of 4). I don't think 10000mAh power bank should last only half of a charge. I was thinking about ordering other charger and power bank, but I couldn't find any charger and power bank in one device other than that specific device from Baseus.
