So right before I sold my wife's Nexus 5, I had the opportunity to test it out with he RavPower RP-WCN11. It's basically a 4800mAh capacity portable charger like other ones on the market. You can attach a device to it with a USB cord like any other. However, it also has QI wireless charging capability.
I guess you could also say it's like a normal QI wireless charging pad that happens to have a 4800 mAh capacity battery inside.
I know others have referenced the product a few times. Here's a video with it in use.
My wife continues to use the power bank in the car and when we're walking our daughter around the neighborhood. It's held up pretty well.
Current price is $56.99 on Amazon w/ free shipping.

dodocool Wireless Charger, Fast Charge Qi wireless Charging pad for Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge / Note5 / S6 Edge+ and All Qi-enabled Devices Black
I have a few Qi wireless chargers and a Qi enabled device (Nexus 6) but never use them mainly because they charge at a very slow rate but this dodocool Wireless Charger has Fast charging mode (Output 10W Max) which uses Quickcharge 2.0 so if your device has Quickcharge capabilities you will be able to take advantage of but if not the Standard charge mode (Output 5W Max) for standard Qi-enabled devices will also work. I can say I now use this wireless charger as my primary charger and even use it in the car and I know that sounds odd and did to me also at first after reading it in product description but the charger itself first off is angled downward which helps you to view your screen and most importantly the charger base has 2 silicon rings around it, one on the top and one on the bottom which help secure the charging base while sitting in care and the silicon ring on top of charger not only helps secure phone while on the charger but also protects phone from getting any scratches or wear marks. I must say I’m very impressed with the overall function and looks of this wireless charger and highly recommend it. As a special gift to my Facebook/Twitter/G+ and YouTube friends here is a 30% off Code to use at checkout from my friends at dodocool.

This fast wireless charging stand allows you to charge your phone in portrait or landscape more. Very useful when placed on your desk next to your computer while you work.
Unlike other chargers, this one does not overheat and does not overcharge your device. The green indicator light will not bother you while you sleep.
It’s compatible with cases up to 4 mm thick (I haven’t tested with a thicker case).
I got mine at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CSQ3MZ6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
To activate the "fast charge" in wireless charging, my LG V30+ need 15W max. output capability and I've bought one of them with a really cheap price with brand "SMORSS" for ony around $10 :laugh:
Highest possible wattage for wireless car charger? All I see is 10watt. No 15watt+?
All the wireless car chargers seems to only have 10watt for Notes, looks like 15watt for LG phones. samsung makes a 15watt wireless chargers stand so thought this would be possible for car chargers.
has anybody seen a wireless car charger that will charge a note 10 with more than 10watts?
thanks in advance

Hey .. I tried some of car wireless charger with 15 W .
There is only one working well for me .. it's giving me fast wireless charger when it connected .
But you have to buy also car charger which is support QC 3 to deliver that power to wireless charger.
You can find it in Amazon : CHOETECH 15W Wireless Car Charger Mount,15W/10W/7.5W Windshield Dash Vent QI Fast Charging Phone Holder Electric Auto Clamping
i believe the xiaomi wireless car charger does 20 watt max. Check it out on amazon

well the charger is 20watts, but it won't charge the note 10 at 20watts
so 52$ to do what a $15 charger can do
First off: love this phone. Already selling my S21 Ultra. However, I found an issue that seems specific to the Pixel 6 Pro.
I have a ton of wireless chargers but most don't seem to push enough juice to even charge this phone. Which is weird, because they are capable of pushing at least 9W but in most cases, they don't even push 5W to the phone, even when the battery is <25%.
I have one fancy charger (moshi Sette Q) which can push 15W per coil--there I can max out at the Pixel's rated 12W if the phone is cool, but only until the battery hits 90 deg F. Once it exceeds that, the charging rate drops down to 7.5W or lower, and the predicted time to full charge more than doubles. Coincidentally it seems to hit that 90 degrees within mere minutes of starting the wireless charge. I'm measuring battery temp (not power) using AccuBattery, and power using various USB meters.
The same chargers, power bricks, cables push their max wattage to the S21 Ultra even if the Ultra is >50% charge. And just for kicks I tried my girl's iPhone 13 mini and it instantly hit its max charging power w/o MagSafe (10W, from what I can see). In other words, there's no specific evidence that there's any issue with my power bricks, cables, or wireless chargers. All are reputably branded and genuine parts and if they work with both the S21 Ultra and the iPhone 13 mini then you can probably rest assured they are not the problem.
So, it seems like the Pixel 6 Pro is doing some severe thermal throttling when wireless charging, and the upshot is that you barely ever get the full 12W Qi charging capability of the phone, and most of the time you end up charging at <7.5W.
Anyone else seeing this? If you're charging wirelessly, how's the experience? Does your battery hit 90 F in no time at all? Does it start to reduce Qi charging current once it hits ~90F?
If other folks are having a fine time wireless charging this phone, and you're getting that full 12W on the reg, I guess it's possible that I have a bum phone. Let me know what charger(s) you're using. But if you haven't noticed a problem yet, you might want to pay closer attention to your charging speeds to see if you're seeing the same thermal throttling.
If it's not just a bum phone, then this seems like a major issue. Big enough to force Google to delay the launch of their next-gen wireless charger, the new Pixel Stand.
I'm seeing the same. New Anker magsafe style charger is 3-4 watts... iOttie car vent gets it to 9-10...
Yes, same problem. I wonder if that's why we haven't seen the Pixel stand.
I'm using the original Pixel Stand and it seems to be charging at about 14W which is the max it can deliver.
I haven't noticed it getting very warm when charging but then I have been asleep
I have noticed a couple of times, lifting the phone off the charger in the morning, it was slightly warm. AccuBattery said it had been fully charged hours before that.
The phone is in a Spigen Rugged Armour case and I just leave it in it to charge.
how do you check the speed its charging at? Ill check mine overnight and see. I bought this one...

I'm using one of THESE and also have AccuBattery Pro.
One thing I found with AcuuBattery is it seems to assume the charging voltage is always 5V
So when I am charging it shows the current as 2.3A x 5V = 12.5W
Whereas the actual charge on the voltmeter shows 1.4A x 9V = 12.5W
Interesting. I just set my phone down at night on a fly-by-night brand qi pad I bought several years ago, and by morning the phone is charged full and ready to go. Don't know, or care, how fast it charges as long as its full by morning. The few times I've had to grab the phone after charging for a while, it hasn't seemed at all warm.
But I'm running on google-free nice clean AOSP. Might be that some of that google spyware is sucking up power faster than you can supply it?

No idea what speed this equates to. Only put it on the charger for a few minutes to see.

The way I've been doing it is via a USB C power meter which is just in line between the wall wart and the wireless charger.
I also have a USBC cable that has a built-in power meter and I get similar results. Another thing you can do is just put the phone on charger you have, then go into settings and battery and just monitor the time estimate for charging. Do you ever see it advertise upwards of 3 hours of charging time or otherwise jump from something reasonable like 2 hours up to 4 hours?
It seems like there's two main problems. Number one that the wireless charging coils are extremely narrow compared to S21 Ultra. So the sweet spot is super small and difficult to find. Number two. Once the phone hits 90° f, then it is throttling the charging speed. And honestly, I don't know if that's a cooling problem or if that's just an overly conservative algorithm. Either way it's kind of ****ed up to advertise 12W wireless charging and then have this type of experience.
I've been using the app Inware to see the live amperage, wattage, and voltage.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about that one. I think the problem here is probably related to the overall charging limitations that the phone has. If you look at the other threads in this form, you can see quite a few that are related to slow charging speeds even when using the wall wart. But still this is extremely disingenuous from Google and straight up inaccurate advertising when it comes to charging speeds.
For those of you who have the old Pixel stand charger, IT WORKS !!!
All I want is a full charge by AM, and it usually gets a lil boost charge when I drive my sprinter.
About to look for a new wireless charger, but now using the 30 watt Google plug and cable and phone charges up faster than any I have owned previously, nearly all galaxies but the 6 Pro is noticably better, wired.
