Power bank for Pixel XL - Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories

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

I just ordered this one...will be here tomorrow.

extra inexpensive charger?

so it looks like my normal micro usb charger is only 1A. anyone got a good lead on a sub $15 one that will work...since i need 3 i would rather not pay $25
also i got the Kindle Fire MicroShell Folio Cover by Marware, Black
off amazon. com /gp/product/B005V2EVBQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
and its a good tight fit case that i have no complaints on.
price is now down to $29.99 with prime shipping.
Dealextreme should have something to meet your requirements. A quick search reveals they have both household and car chargers at 2A. About $6 each. Ships from China for free, and takes about 2 weeks average delivery to the United States
I was unaware that there was anything special about the charger. I've been using the same cable for my Kindle 2, HTC Evo and Kindle Fire without an issue...

It will just charge a lot slower if the device is on (if at all, depending on the power requirements of the device in use), if you use an under-amped charger. You can speed it up by turning the device completely off.
won't charge with usb battery and microusb cable
I have a New Trent battery that I use to charge my other tablets (will charge an iPad from 0% to 100%). It does not seem to be charging my Kindle Fire. Any ideas? This may be a deal breaker for me if I can't carry an extra battery to use to charge it.
I don't want this to sound troll-ish, I'm genuinely wondering: Where do you go that 7-8 hrs without a power source (car, plane, or AC) isn't enough?
I have a rechargeable battery pack I bought from Harbor Freight it is a Thunderbolt Magnum Power Pack it is a 3.9 V 3000 mAh I plugged it in to the Fire and it is charging
It charges my android phone about 3 times.
I will report back in the morning on if it fully charges it.
It was $21 and change shipped.
i guess im just use to my D2G on that i have to change batteries 1/2 way through the day. so i don't like being without a charger. besides when i take off for over night it would be nice if i just had one in the car. one less thing to pack. thanks for the reply with the leads.

Most passenger trains (commuter and long distance) today have AC plugs in them, ie.in coaches next to the seats, in lounge and dining cars and in bedrooms in the sleeping cars.

Ok my battery charged from 20% to 65% using my cheap battery pack last night so it will help somewhat when I need extra power without access to AC power.

One battery + one microusb cable = power for several devices without carrying an ac adapter for each
Well the battery seems to working today. I swear I tried two different batteries and two different cables before I posted.
Cheap ipad 2 chargers should work fine with the kindle fire. They're 5V - 2A chargers, so they should be compatible, about $3 free shipping.

Small USB-C Battery???

So, I'm getting the Pixel 2 XL...
I like to carry a battery in my pocket that can give me a nice boost in case I get stuck somewhere without having to carry a charger and cable.
I found this battery that has a built in cable and includes a Micro USB to USB-C adapter that could be easy to loose: https://smile.amazon.com/GMYLE-5000...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CTWBCR614AGQNFHAH9AY
Does anyone know of any other small batteries that have an integrated USB-C cable?
Thanks!
Do some research on the phrase "Power Delivery" . That is the attribute you want the battery to have in order to utilize your phone's fast re-charging capability...

I'm not actually concerned about fast charging. Just trying to find a small pocket friendly battery with a built in USB-C cable.

You could just carry any USB battery then, along with a USB-A to USB-C cable, especially if you don't care about the charge speed

there's an anker compact 13000mAh that has a USB-C port. i would not worry about a built-in cable to the charger as that can severely impact on longevity.. get a nice battery and use your own cable.

That looks promising. Any idea about case compatibility? I'm concerned that the connector may not be long enough to clear a case.
I agree with someone's post about built-in cables. They can go bad and then you're screwed. I ordered this one.

Has anyone found one that will be compatible with fast charging for the Pixel 2 XL? I coach high school basketball and some of the schools we go to are spotty for coverage which kills my phone battery when it's searching constantly. I'd like something that I could charge it while I'm sitting on bus rides and it fast charges for an hour. Thanks!

Any battery packs that support Power Delivery (PD) will be compatible with the fast charging for the Pixel 2 XL. You can find several through Amazon in varying sizes.

I admit, I like the original poster, am having a hard time finding a small PD compatible battery. Most of what I see, I wouldn't consider pocket size.

Small ones are tough to find because PD is relatively new and right now is more prevalent in larger devices such as laptops that would require a bigger battery pack. But more options are on the way.

The Aukey I posted is 15w which isn't PD 18w but it should be close enough. I'll definitely compare it to the included charger.

I can vouch for that one. I got it during my trip to Japan recently. Worked great for my N6P!
The Amazon Basics unit has worked quite well for me.

So I FINALLY got to test my Aukey 10500 mAh Power Bank. Reason it took so long is that the battery life for the Pixel 2 XL has been so good I have never had to use the Power Bank on the go. LOL. I had to make an effort to use it at home instead of the stock charger.
Anyway here's my review:
Charging test times and percentages:
Start - 10%
30 minutes - 48% (Interestingly faster than I've gotten with OEM charger)
60 minutes - 79%
75 minutes - 87%
90 minutes - 92%
105 minutes - 95%
Pros:
- Charges my #Pixel2XL as fast as the stock charger.
- USB-C is output AND input so Power Bank itself can be fast charged.
- Pocketable yet can probably charge my phone 2.5 times.
- Includes a nice protector sleeve
Cons:
- Only comes with a 2 ft. USB-A to USB-C cable. I switched it with a spare USB-A to Micro USB if I have to charge non-C devices.
- Need your own USB-C to USB-C cable to get the most of it. Using my previous #Nexus5X cable which works but isn't very compact at 3ft. 3 inches.
- Not Power Delivery so you only get 5v/3a charging.
- At $29.99, it's pricey compared to comparable battery banks of the same capacity.
Conclusion:
Still worth it if you have a USB-C device. There aren't many quality USB-C battery banks that are both input/output AND compact If they are around 10k mAh, they're only input USB-C. If they're input/output, they're most like 20k mAh.
This is what I use. I can get 3 charges on my Pixel from it. Not to mention headphone charges too.

I've been using the same one from RavPower. I had gotten it a few months before getting the Pixel 2 XL. I fly frequently (typically out of town most weeks -- Mon to Thu routine), and I had found the 120v outlets on planes to be inconsistent, sometimes painful to find (as in down under the front of your seat and impossible to see once you're sitting), so I took to carrying a battery with me to provide extra power when flying.
This model turns out to be perfect for the Pixel 2 (and XL). The phone acknowledges immediately that it's "charging rapidly", and it in fact is doing so. I'll typically get on the plane after a full day of work, plug my P2XL into the battery's USB C connection (using an official Google USB-C to USB-C cable), fire up my bluetooth headphones, switch on airplane mode (and then reactivate bluetooth), listen to Google Play Music and do crossword puzzles (and/or sleep) for the next 2 or 3 hours on the plane. When I arrive, my phone is fully charged, and the battery only seems to be depleted about 20% to 25%.
At a hotel and sometimes at home, If I don't want to deal with two charging wall warts, I can plug the battery into the wall to charge using the QC 3.0 charging input and a QC 3.0 compatible wall wart (I've got a few left over from all the Droid Turbo 2's we had in the house until recently) so the battery charges at top speed, and simultaneously use a USB-C to USB-C straight into the P2XL. The battery and the phone both charge simultaneously. I haven't time this versus using separate wall warts, but all in all this has proven to be convenient -- and it works.
Excellent battery. Highly functional, and holds a pretty huge charge.
i recommend the 10000mah xiaomi type c one - really love it and it's aluminum design stands out as well

Do you trust 3rd party chargers?

This is my first foray into Android and I love the Pixel 2. It's great and I want to make sure I treat it well. Do you trust 3rd party wall chargers or do you think there is a risk they are bootleg and could damage the phone? I got one off Amazon and it seems to be ok so far, but who knows - (as a new user I can't post a link to the Amazon listing apparently). It's called "Google Quick Fast Charger Gray- Adapter with TYPE C to C Wire for Pixel/XL/C" and came in a discreet package not from Google.
Thanks
Do you know what brand it is? While Amazon is a more reputable dealer than searching on e-Bay...they too are not immune to junk...chargers that don't offer protection...or could result in electrocution. Did you look at the buyer rating to see that they were verified purchases and not fake reviews? What is the wattage and what version of Quickcharge does it support...ideally you want Qualcomm Quickcharge 3.0 to maximize charge speed on this phone. I try to at least stick with more reputable brands...I bought an Anker charger from Amazon that supports both QuickCharge 3.0 and has spots for my wife's iPhone. No issues and quick charging.

Hi - Thanks for the advice. Not exactly sure the the tech specs on it. Here is what Amazon said: "Brand New Original By Google Quick Fast Charger 18W 1.8Amp with TYPE C Pin Color Gray"

IIRC,Google Pixels support USB Power Delivery standard, not Qualcomm Quick Charge. The charger that comes with the phone is a PD charger and you can tell this by the fact that it uses a type c connection at the charger and at the phone. It's supposed to be a safer, more universal standard for fast charging USB c devices.
PuffDaddy_d is correct...disregard my QC3 recommendation...although I do get pretty fast charging with it using a quality Type-A to Type-C cable (presumably because it is 18W). For optimum charging, recommendation for Pixel and Pixel 2 (including standard and XL) is USB-C PD standard. Disregard my charger recommendation although I would till recommend sticking to reviewing your brand...if the one you bought is the one by Google...then you're fine.
I don't think you can get fast charging on a Pixel phone with any USB A charger. I saw just Charging or Charging Slowly at the bottom of the screen on mine with USB A. I was super frustrated shopping on Amazon for chargers because there's just so many fake ones and I couldn't find a Benson list for good chargers. He had some charger criticisms on his Google+ page, but didn't make an Amazon list and searching on G+ makes my head hurt. I went with Monoprice specifically because they're certified; item 24424 for my car charger ($10) and I'm very happy with it. On the office charger, I haven't needed one, battery life has been good enough to not worry, but Monoprice has those at $17, item 24426 or 21674. None of the Monoprice chargers are bundled with a cable, so expect to add $5+ for one. My old Motorola Turbo QC2 wall charger and the iOrange QC3 car charger do no good for the Pixel 2 so I gave them to my dad. I know it probably looks like I'm shilling for Monoprice, but there's so much trash out there. Amazon really sucks at this. Walmart and Staples just plain don't have a real USB C cable in their stores, though Walmart does have a real Samsung USB A-C cable for the same price you'd pay for a two pack from Anker or Cable Matters on Amazon, and I think that's pretty OK for retail. The Nintendo stuff seems OK if you're in a pinch. Gamestop has a Hori car charger (15W, not Power Delivery, cable attached) for $20 and the Nintendo branded wall charger for $30 (39W, has Power Delivery, cable attached). There aren't always cell phone stores around when you're jammed up.

Cheaper Warp Charger/Cables

Has anyone found any cheaper option or alternatives to warp chargers and cables? I know that I am able to get 15W using PD, but I wanted to know if it was possible? I was thinking on getting those cables that support Huawei and Oppo fast charging protocol and test them, but I realized that most of them uses 5A instead of OP 6A

Weird they worked when I posted:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/400...chweb0_0,searchweb201602_7,searchweb201603_53
Lots of options:
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesal...in=y&SearchText=warp+charger&switch_new_app=y
I just both 2 sets (warp charger EU + dash cable 1m) with 13.28 $/piece. From China.
$19 shipped to the US. Just submitted the order
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000019048273.html
For reference, I purchased one of the Chinese second-party "original" warp chargers for the Oneplus 7 pro (specifically, this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-O...var=691546290084&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649). The Ebay one was $26.99 with taxes/shipping. By comparison, through the OnePlus website, a warp charger brick by itself is $29.99, and then a 100cm warp cable is $19.99 and a 150cm warp cable is $24.99. Plus, if your order is under $100, another $6.99 for standard shipping or $9.99 for express shipping.
I also purchased a device that plugs into the wall outlet and measures the wattage being drawn from the outlet by a plugged in device. With the warp charger that came in the box with my OP7P, at 20% battery, the measurement would show that it was pulling 36 watts for a couple of minutes. Once it got to the 35%~ charged area, it would drop down to 27 watts, then at the 40-50% area, it would drop down to 22.5 watts until about 80%, when it would drop to 17 watts.
I also tested the Ebay second-party OP7P warp charger I bought through that link. My guess is that all of the ebay sellers and the options from AliExpress are coming from the same, or similar place. With the second party warp charger, at 20% battery, the measuring tool would show a max draw of 28 watts. By 35-40% charge, it would drop to 22 watts, and pretty soon after that it would drop to around 17 watts (maybe at 50% or 60%). I ran this test in two separate buildings, with the same results.
I also noticed that the USB-A side of the warp cable that came with the Ebay warp charger didn't fit as smoothly into the warp charging block. However, it did seem to take on most of the heat from the charging as the warp charging block is designed to do.
Since the Ebay one does 80-90% of what the Oneplus warp charger does for half the price, I'm just going to keep it and use it and hope that some better, cheaper and effective alternatives come out in the future.
I forgot to mention, i both 2 US warp chargers with EU adapter plug.
The European warp it's more than twice the price. I both 1 earlier with 26 $, now it's above 28 $. Only charger, without cable!

Ordered 8/22 and was delivered to AZ on 9/3. Warp charge works! Slightly different branding on the power block
Anyone found any good warp car chargers?

Or you could try this cool looking car charger with Amp and voltage display on the cable connector. Cool idea. But doesn't support Warp charging.

You can also buy a Chromebook USB type C charger from Amazon. I know the type C charger (has a three prong wall plug) that came with my Chromebook charges my Note 9 three times as fast as Samsung's OEM charger. Even without fast charge switched on.
I assume it will work the same for my OnePlus 7 pro.
So, yeah. Chromebook type C charger = OnePlus Warp Charger.
Just got this one for $22.48 from Amazon. Works great.

Bought the same one and it just arrived today.
Looks and feels a lot like the original charger.
I'd be hard pressed to tell which cable is the original if mixed up.

Please post car chargers with links, pics that work with P6P 30w max charge.

Any USB-C PD 30W charger should work. Check out Amazon. If you want you can get a PPS charger, but PPS is not necessary.
Please note the Pixel 6 only supports 22 watt fast charging.

Not a PPS charger and Anker apparently does not have one for cars.
Something like this would be slightly better and future proof:

works fine, charges fast
BTW, charging tests with the new 30w Google charger and the Google charger from my 2XL were almost identical anyway...if the phone only charges at 22W, then any charger over 22W is sufficient...
That's absolutely false. If you have some random Quick Charge or proprietary charger at 30W or higher, it will not charge at 22W. Might only charge at 10W, not even 15W or 18W.
My Warp Charge 30 bricks can only do 10W.
Charger must have at least PD support.

This one does have 30w but isn't PPS so don't think it'll actually hit the 22w since that's how Google's limited the charging.

To get the limited 22w charging that Google's put on the 6 Pro you do need PPS. The fastest PD will do is 18w.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093BP4RM2 stuck to outside of my case.
It's not the prettiest solution, but seems to work well. No more cables to mess with. Just throw the phone on the pad and drive off. Probably not the fastest charger, but it's enough to run GPS and music, while still gaining charge, which is all I need.
Make sure the wireless charger supports the 15W Qi EPP (extended power profile) feature.
Otherwise you're stuck at 5W. Most no-name charging pads or cars with built-in wireless charging have been falling into this category but newer ones like the Tucson are 15W.
I'd like to know what the phone and Pixel Stand expect for 23W charging.
This Spigen is nice, name brand, high quality charger. It doesn't fit in one of my cars though, it's too short. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08PRZ815M/

Received mine yesterday and was pleasantly surprised it came with a long, braided Type-C cable. I didn't actually read the description. There was a $6 coupon so I jumped on it. Will try to test and see how much current it outputs later this evening.
Considering I was at 36% the 4,148A charge current is pretty good. The highest I've seen with a PPS wall charge was 4400+.
I would've gained more in 28 minutes but 25 of it had YouTube running. Don't worry I pay attention to the road. The screen off %/h is right up there with my PPS wal charger.
I use my OnePlus 9 Pro car charger for my pixel and it does great!

This one? That would be interesting if it really charges well for you because everyone else I've seen has had issues with OnePlus charges because it's not even Power Delivery. This one in particular is either the Warp Charge 5V=6A max or old slow 5V=2A charging.

Not to mention warp charge is completely propriety, requires specific circuitry in the phone and a USB lead with non standard wiring.
Is this good for pixel 6 charging because it's 5v-3amp, I have it already but just want to confirm if it is good enough and will not effect battery health in long run since it is 15w while charging.

one thing I suggest, is don't skimp out on a car charger. many years ago, I messed up a few phones using crappy car chargers. the Zus Smart Charger is the best car charger I've ever used. the quality is incredible. its half price in the US at $16.99 (they should pay me or something!) -

it's not the fastest, it charges my 6Pro at like 1200mah or so...but the quality alone is worth it. I've been using it since 2017 and I've charged all my pixels and tablets with it.
this might be the best kept secret - just for the app, that anyone can use for free!
I just wanted to add;; their app is pretty cool, the car charger will show your Voltage level for your car battery and a ton of other things. Their app also connects to any OBD-II adapter via bluetooth and you can have a ton of cool telemetry appear on your phone (like revs, speed, engine temps etc , for those who like that sorta thing). and it will help you find your parked car if you forget where you parked ha! last year they were sending out free OBD_II adapters (but you can use any) and with their free app that anybody can use, you can use it to log your drives by mileage and a ton of other features. it's pretty slick !!
but if you want a crazy fast car charger, the anker that someone posted above is excellent - but in the car, which is usually really hot, I don't want anything fast charging. keeping things cool is what I'm all about//
