Can anyone recommend a good, pocketable power bank that supports fast charge, whether it's USB-A to USB-C or USB-C to USB-C? There's so many to choose from, not really sure which to go with other than most likely some Anker product. Maybe you guys have some ideas.

I grabbed this one a few years ago to pair up with my OnePlus devices - got a G7 coming tomorrow and I'll use this with it until I can grab a battery case.

I need a buy a new car charger anyway so I want to get the most capable one for the HTC 10. I suspect that would include the quickcharge 3.0 spec and a USB-C port?
Will there be any benefit to QC3 over USB-C compared to QC2 and a USB-A to USB-C cable?
I've looked on Amazon but I don't see anything that appears to fit the bill. Are there any other phones out now that have both QC3 and USB-C that we can gain experience from? I know the Nexus 5x and 6p has USB-C, but they don't have QC3, right?
Look for Tronsmart chargers (QuickCharge3.0) over aliexpress, might take a few weeks to deliver but the product is nice and cheap.
Even better if available over ebay/amazon.
I've just ordered this one from Amazon in readiness.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Vin...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
Plus 3 of these USB cables.

Anker PowerDrive+ 1 looks quite good.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AUKEY-Quick...723334&sr=1-2&keywords=aukey+quick+charge+3.0
Just be sure to get the USB-C cables that are really up to the spec, or you could burn up your new phone. See here for tested products:

I looked at that one but it appears to only have USB-A connections. I'm under the impression that USB-C to USB-C will give better charging results?

This one on Amazon seems to fit your suggestion. $20 on Amazon Prime seems like a decent deal.
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tronsmart-Quick-Charge-Technology/dp/B018K7LHBU
EDIT: In fact, it's an even better deal at $11 with discount code "USBCCHAR". I just ordered one.
I don't think you'll notice much difference.
HTC deliveres also an USB A to C cable with the 10.
There is a maximum of charging speed and I think you can get that also with an USB A to C.

That would be the cheapest thing that you can get delivered quickly; Aukey is another economical option that you can check.
Aliexpress ones sell for cheaper usually (or even half the cost during sale) but those take alot of time to deliver (it being shipped from China via standard international shipping).

I found this useful https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...JsQaXK1dl8I91V4-eP_sfNVNzbA/htmlview?sle=true
I would choose Anker on Amazon if I want to buy a QC 3.0.
I love tronsmart products because it has lots of models:http://www.tronsmart.com/products/quick-charge-3-0-car-chargers From 1 port to 3 ports, USB A port to Type-C port.
Easiest way would be to take a look at the Qualcomm QC certified list. It's a great starting point.
Also the list has direct links to product pages which is certainly a nice touch.
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/quick-charge-device-list
Because if it's certified "by Qualcomm" (UL really), I'd say it's up to snuff..
Of course the list isn't updated instantly but rather monthly, so when new devices and accessories (or power controllers) roll out, and they pass the certification process, they'll be added there eventually.
I follow
https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts
for his tested products and I think everyone will be fine.
Qualcomm has a list as well
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/q...ge-device-list
I applied to review a free Choetech QC 3.0 car charger, hope they can contact me soon.
Here is the thread link to apply: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/accessories/preview-chloetech-quick-charge-3-0-t3369060

I'd be careful with these..
"Dodocool" doesn't have any accessories listed in Qualcomm's certified accessories list. (PDF)
No QC3.0 accessory OR QC2.0 accessory.
Their products do seem OK but I'm personally not gonna trust any manufacturer for example being my QC3.0 charger unless they have something on that list, at least some product that shows they have actually made something that complied with Qualcomm's standard, especially since that list isn't updated daily rather monthly.
P.S. That's a wall charger and this thread is about car chargers and besides, the 10 ships with a QC3.0 wall charger.
Edit: Now I actually looked at the Dodocool QC3.0 wall charger reviews, this one has pictures and NO UL LOGO hence it's not UL listed hence it's not certified.
I would avoid it. Might be perfectly fine and fully compliant OR it could kill your dog and burn your house down etcetera.

This device is officially my debut into the world of USB C; I've never had a single device that uses it. I'm excited, but also cautious as I've read it can be dangerous if you buy a less-than-reputable brand for cables.
What brands would you recommend? Ideally, available on Amazon since that is where I buy pretty much everything from
*Side question - My previous device is an S7 Edge, and as such I have multiple QC 2.0 compliant chargers around the house and in my car (including wireless). I want to clarify whether I can continue to use those and expect fast charging or not*
I am using an Anker 2.0 car charger with mine with no issue. I did have to get a USB-A to USB-C adapter to be able to plug my car dock in (it's got a fixed USB-C cable).
I bought the Anker Powerline+ cable and a 3 pack of the regular Anker Powerline cables just to toss around, they're good.
Im using usb cables from a store called five below, got 5 black meshed ones right when the s8 came out. Now they are sold out. They are 6 feet 2 and working good

Go for Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable. It has 3ft including plugs and made up of aramid fiber reinforcement which makes it stronger and more durable.

This is what I've been using on my S8+
USB C, Veckle Type C to USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) 6.6 Ft Braided USB C Cable
My S8+ arrived today, and I've ordered the following Aukey 5-pack from Amazon (UK). They will arrive tomorrow.
I've had pretty good luck with Anker and Aukey products, alike. Sounds like there's no hiccup with their USB C lineup. Has anyone used both, or prefer one over the other? Why?

I've used both in the past, and have no preference and for me it comes down to price/offers and convenience (in stock/out of stock). Both make quality products in my experience, and you can't go wrong with either. I usually look first for Anker or Aukey products when I need things like cables, power packs/external batteries, car or wall chargers.

This will be my first usb type c device. I'm sure a lot of you are upgrading from the original pixel. Can you guys recommend cables and chargers that you have used that you liked? I'm sure there are a bunch of people in my situation it can help to stock up on this stuff before the phone comes. And yes I know there is a list of approved cables, etc.
I'd look at Anker or Aukey for chargers. They should have a couple PD-2 chargers. They also sell the required cables.
The Pixel 2 XL will come with cables and a charger in the box though.

Thanks. I know it comes with some. Just trying to figure out work, bedroom, etc.
Make sure the cables you buy have a 56k ohm resistor.

I would never get a cheap Chinese/no name version. From what I've read, if it doesn't have a 56ohm resistor, it has damaged phones.
You can also check on Amazon and read reviews from those who have purchased. Not worth saving a few bucks to potentially damage your $900+ phone.

If its OEM, I don't think there will be any issues. I'm sure people may have multiple USB-C items and I'm sure these news outlet and reviewers have multiple USB-C cables and plugs that they just use the same one over and over.
DO not get any usb c cable/charger so many of them don't follow the standards
Only get one that has been tested
bad cables and charger in best case can charge slowly
in worst case can damage the phone or explode
follow https://plus.google.com/collection/s0Inv
and only use good cables
from the top of my head, the good ones are from

As far as I can tell, Benson Leung finds issues with every Aukey product he reviews. I'm contemplating the BlitzWolf BW-S10, as I've had no issues with the BW-S5 or BW-CB3, and their reputation appears to be clean. The supplied cable is USB-C to USB-C, right?

I've edited the post. Thanks for catching that!
There must be a technical reason behind this. Does anyone have any ideas?
Specifically talking about PD capable chargers.
Tronsmart came out with the W2DC/W2DT, which they discontinued probably because the USB-C did not work well, or at all with Nexus 6P/5X.
Aukey has the PA-Y10 - Which I've JUST discovered now. Does anyone have any experience with this charger?
The rest of the top tier chargers I see out there are "desktop" chargers (requiring a power cable plugged into the wall).
On a side note, can anyone recommend a USB-C PD + USB A charger similar to the ones I've mentioned above aside from these two brands? If someone has positive feedback I'm willing to give it a shot! Was not sure about the brand "ZeroLemon" (which some people said they were just rebranded of some sort).
It just makes it convenient to charge my iPad and Cell Phone and only have to bring 1 Adapter.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I'll be travelling a fair bit next year and have been looking for a power bank for my Pixel 3XL. I'll also be carrying a 12.9inch ipad pro (2017) and a wireless headset so looking for a power bank to charge all these devices. So far, I have narrowed it down to the following two.
Aukey brand
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AUKEY-X...=item33f038d3bc:g:Z8cAAOSw9~5bxT6V:rk:22:pf:0
RAVPower
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RAVPowe...3d5659495:m:mynNtkL-bAdL42f2CJQnV-A:rk:2:pf:0
What you guys think? Is there any other that's better?
Thanks!
Ideally you want a power bank that will both charge up via USB C and output on USB C, so pretty equal it looks like, go for the larger capacity if you can since you can get a couple more charges out of it.
Not sure how much juice you're looking for but this one comes in a type c option and the size is nice too. Price is hard to beat too. Been using mine for well over 3 years now.

I have a power bank that doubles as a car battery booster. I use it to keep my phone and tablet charged. I then have a solar charger that keeps the power bank somewhat charged. Still have to refill at weeks end. It's 15,000 or so. I'll have to grab it from the car. Get a solar charger as well. Hands down best purchase I have made. It charges almost anything
I've got this guy, use it for camping and backpacking came with a 45w charger as well. Metal housing, I like it. Only 2 ports but that's alright, have never had a need to charge more than two things at once anyway.

Not to resurrect an old thread but I wanted to also recommend this portable charger. Pricey, but it's great quality and the best I found.
Sorry for the laaaate reply lol. I should have mentioned I'm in Australia.
Jackery power bank is pricey af, comes to about $224 aussie dollars and amazon don't ship it to Australia. More than likely, I'll go for RAVPower or this one https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cygnett-ChargeUp-Pro-27000-72W-USB-C-Power-Bank-Black-/113341919303
