Note8 Fastest-charging battery packs? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

I'm looking for:
From Amazon US site
Charges Note8 via Fast Charging

Suggestions of ones you've tested? (URLs?)
(Most of the battery packs I have tried do not provide Fast Charging on Note8.)

How big you looking? I have a 28600 anker that has fast charge. They now have a USB C PD bank that should charge faster than reg USB to C. Have heard RAV are good also. Just putting that out so you can have a choice and compare. I do know one thing I got a 5k version for my son non fast charge. I took it on vacation in July invade we needed a smaller charger on the go. Forgot it was in the suitcase. I pulled it out last week and it still had a full charge. So anker seems to know their stuff.

I was looking around 10Ah, else they get too heavy for just me. For when my family travels, 20-40.
What's the URL/model for your 28600? I don't see any with that value on Amazon.com (oh, the 26800 for $83?)

Thee zerolemon external charger ( not the phone case) works well

I have the Samsung Fast Charge 5100 mAh battery Pack w/ USB-C and it's a great little charger. The screen on charge is 1010mA average and the screen off charge is 2356 mA average. I purchased mine for $37. If it's for yourself and not a gift, you can get the damaged packaging one from Amazon Warehouse deals for $25.91. I love the small size of the charger and the build is great. I also purchased this Soft Felt Pouch for the charger.

That's the one I decided to buy. Silver and Navy Blue have "like new" for $20.
The.passthroigh charging was another strong point in its favor.
Thanks to you, and to all who replied!

Yeah it's the $83 one. I got it on sale for like $60. I will say get what you need. I got the big one because it was a disney trip and we all know smartphones drain fast. Needed the power bank to last all day. Whatever you get they are very handy and not reduced to looking for a plug.

This question for everyone. How long does the battery pack hold its charge? A week, month, longer? My main reason is power outages. My last portable would be dead by the time I actually needed it. Would be nice one held juice 2-3 months. Idk if thats possible? I live in the city. We usually have power outage once every few months. Sucks being in the stone age for 0-6 hours. Depending on what caused it and how much damage.

I have an anker 16000 I got a few years ago.. I charge it may be once every 4 to 6months or so when I go for a long travel... It usually shows more than 80 % even at 4 months...

Ok cool thanks I appreciate it. Anker definitely one of the best battery brands out there. Thats impressive charge hold and perfect for me. Will cruise Amazon and look for best portable Ankrer battery pack. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's how my bank is also. Drain is minimal. I dont know about the rav or others. I only have anker. I am sure the more popular brands has the same performance

I have a romoss sense 6+, 20000mah has a usb c in and out, quick charge 3.0 PD3.0. Very affordable as well. I got mine for 15usd

Heavy power consuming apps and constant usage if WhatsApp and Facebook will definitely drain the battery of any smartphone. And power bank is one of the solutions to this thing who are traveling continuously. That's why I'm using Anker 20100mAh power bank, this power bank charge 2 device simultaneously at faster speeds.

[Q] Travel Battery Pack

I am on travel very often and my last experience with my Desire was that when working on the phone with no possibility of charging it, I was left with very little or non battery late afternoon. Any suggestion for a good Travel Battery Pack anyone? One extra charge will do. Thanks
Probably better off getting a spare battery, and charge it up, most easiest way i think instead of carrying aa batteries and charge cases, leads etc.
Just look on ebay and click cheapest first.

Maximum price = 1.44461 / 1.44661
Hope this helps
i use solar charger it has built in 3000Ma battery you can also charge it from pc or adapter and ready to go with extra power. Have it from ebay for $29
Did anyone test any spare batteries from ebay? Thought of getting some, but not sure if it is worth it or not (the charge should at least be as high as the stock battery's) .
Got this few days ago from a china online retailer. Good construction and nice pocketable size. Slightly heavier than LG2X & about 20% thicker. Comes with 0.5A & 1A USB output.
So far, on 0.5A output, no in-charger lock ups yet - which I do get from some AC chargers.
Priced upwards of US$35. Google for "5000mah Power Bank".
will LG come out with an extended battery for the Optimus 2X ?
If they made 2 models. one like we have with a 1500 battery and one that is 1.2-1.4X thicker with lets say a 3000 battery I think almost everybody would choose the slightly thicker 3000 battery model.
These devices are small enough as it is, they should now stop trying to make them smaller as they are surely limited by the screen size, and make them last longer.
I had a Del Axim X50v a few years back that I brought an extended battery and battery cover for, this actually made the device feel better in the hand.
I think the future is not far... for batteries that are either running on gas or like these ones which can be fully charged in less than 3 min. http://green.autoblog.com/2011/03/23/new-battery-technology-electric-vehicles-recharge-minutes/

Well I order mine, but the version with 1 charger and 2 spare batteries (3 batteries is just plain greedy) We'll see how long they take to get here.
would like an option for dock/ battery charger and 2 batteries from ebay but combo NA last time i checked
Does anyone know of a portable battery pack that charges at over 500mah? all of the battery packs Ive seen are around 500mah and that doesn't seem to be enough to even charge the G2X coming from my old charger.

Only tested twice from over 70% to full on 0.5A. Took longer than using AC adapter. Tried it once on 1A but got a bit hot quite quickly, so I switched over to 0.5A. Also, it takes a while to charge the pack itself from partial empty to full on 1A AC adapter - so I am guessing the 5000mah claim is reasonably accurate.
I bought this item from DealExtreme.
2200mAh Rechargeable Portable Emergency Power with Phone Adapters
SKU: 23734
It works fine, but the input broke after some uses and I had to fix it.
Energizer works best for me... as LG P990 wouldn't last a day with WiFi and 3G active... i have XP2000 and it works great!, the free tip for life is a welcome bonus... I'd post the link but since am a newbie, i cant.

External battery pack for G2

Hello,
I m looking for a battery pack which would feet with my new lg g2. I nearly bought an Anker but their custom service told none of their batteries were compatible with the G2.
I found some clues that the Trent power pack ultra do work with it but I cannot find a way to deliver it to France...
Does someone has a valid battery pack which working well with the gorgeous G2 battery? I am not looking for a case because to be able to use it to charge some other stuff like an iPad.
Thanks.
Compatible? It's just a charger, right? It just provides a ready supply of power at a certain voltage, with a max amperage. So I'm sure everything will work. If you want max charging speed, pick a 2A max current model

I saw few comments of users telling that their phone stop charging 3-4 seconds after plugging in the charger. Anker even remove every reference to LG G2 on their website, some battery page mention of "not compatible with G2" cf: Anker 2nd Gen Astro3 12000mAh
It s what made me suspicious, and I have started looking for real feedback on battery pack with G2.
I m guessing g2 with his gorgeous battery have some kind of protection circuit which does not accept low current charger or stuff like that.

Seems odd to me. I've been using my phone with cheap ebay chargers, which admittedly gave me pretty slow charging, but they've always worked. Sorry, I can't be of any help then, maybe someone else knows.
I have a RavPower 10400mAh and it works great with my lg g2. I don't know why Anker doesn't have any chargers that fit with g2 as most of the phones in the market has either a cable like apples' or a unified like most of the other phones.

it really differs, I mean, some were absolutely crap, but most of them are able to give atleast 500mA, concidering its a 3000mA battery, that would be 6 hours. In comparison, the stock charger would manage to do it in well under two hours. But charging rate is something I think the manufacturer should provide in the spec sheet.
If you have a Verizon model, you might run into problems as third party chargers have been reported to be very slow.
Look HERE . They have some awesome deals.
30,000MAH is that even possible?

I checked it out. It says
"Battery actual capacity:13800mAh"
Which is still fairly much. It isn't exactly uncommon for chinese manufacturers to exaggurate

I sprung for a mophie powerstation XL (it helps I work for a large photo/electronics retailer and got a great discount on it) and am very happy with it. It's a little big and weighs about a pound, but fits in my bag and it can charge my G2 and my N7FHD multiple times. I'm going to Vegas for a week and know the 12,000 mAh battery is plenty to cover my devices and my wife's SGSIII.
I've got an Anker Astro 5600mAh and it charges my G2 perfectly fine. Sure, its at the slower speed, 1A, but a charge is a charge.
Sometimes it cant charge with external charger because of the charger and phones electronic talk together and find some reason why not to charge. This problem is very usual with laptops and laptop chargers. I had this problem once with phone too and the easiest what helped me was to use another microusb cable, the one with only charging ports, not the data ports.
I use the anker 2nd gen 6000mAh and I have always a good charge time
Inviato dal mio LG-D802 utilizzando Tapatalk
Try the RAVPower external battery pack, I have their 14,000mAh and it can charge two devices at the same time. It did help me out of emergencies many times.
I would still like to know why its not compatible. I've been using the 1st gen anker astro (10,000 mah model) without issue untill it has decided to die hence now looking to replace it.
I also use the Anker 40w wall (also using power QI) charger with my G2 without a problem...
have raikko 5200 MAh, have it for about 3 years (bough it for my old optimus 2x originally) and it still works. I think the capacity is little lower now, but still great results after long time. I can charge approx one and quarter times.
i have 3 diferent external battery packs. (im playing ingress)
My advice ... By a anker of amazon. thay are by far the best chargers and the price is realy good.
I had the same issue when I was going to buy an Anker battery pack as well.
I think I'll probably get a RavPower battery pack. Is it best to use the 2amp slot to charge the LG G2?
Noontec Polo II
I have a Noontec Polo II 5600mAh battery and it charges my phone (D802) perfectly fine. On 2A out it takes 2h10m from 0 to 100% (phone turned on, very very light usage during the charge process)

High quality cheap wireless charger

Because the S6/S6E uses Qi and PMA you can use either mat. I just ordered 2 of the below ones for only $8.99 each.
With prices that low I thought I would share with you guys.

bestbuy give you free wireless charger when you preorder galaxy s6 but i ordered it on att.com
now i dont feel so bad !
I got the free charge pad from my Best Buy pre-order and I still bought this, the wireless battery bank is pretty much worth it for $8.99, let alone the charge pad as well. I'll use one near my bed and the other on my desk.

I wouldn't skimp out on a cheap wireless charger. being that wireless charging puts a bit of wear & tear on the battery i would opt for a better one that at least give you piece of mind. the problem with the cheap chargers is they can create unnecessary wasted energy that will create more heat on your device/battery. more heat = degrade battery faster.
here is one i would recommended that doesn't break the bank:
RAVPower Wireless Charging Pad: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PY1YBA0/
outputs at 5v @ 1A.
it's $19 and great reviews. protect your investment and spend a few bucks more for a more reliable charger.

Did you even look at the link before posting? This isn't some off brand Chinese charger, it's the Duracell PMA charger that came or with the iPhone 4 this it's muh cheaper due to its age and not quality.

I wonder if Qi or PMA is better for the S6 although it can support both....hmmm is one newer technology than the other? Or are we talking the same charging technology, but with two name tags like Coke and Pepsi?
Thanks for the heads up, this is a great deal for sure, especially with the spare battery pack. in for one.

yes, and it's discontinued which is why it's so cheap,. my local Radioshack had them for $8.
the Samsung will work with either charging technology, but Qi charging seems to be the winning "standard" for wireless charging, almost all newer phones are more likely to come with Qi compatibility rather than PMA. so while the PMA might work fine, chances are your $8.99 discontinued charger might not be compatible with your next phone. Nexus 6/5/4/7, Sony Xperia Z3V, Motorola, etc All use Qi. i would much rather spend $10 more and at least i know it will work with my future phones since i upgrade almost yearly..
IT WORKS!!! I'll test to see how long it takes to get to fully charged once I drop this bad boy down to 50%.

Well how well did it do? Does it get very hot after wirelessly charging for a while?
I bought two of these and just tested one out. Seems to work great and actually charged my phone faster than I thought it would. One huge drawback for me that I'm not sure is a problem with Qi is that it would not charge with my case on. I think PMA requires the magnet portion to catch in order to work and that's going to be difficult with any case.

I fell asleep around 130am and the phone was at 43%, woke up for work at 450am and it was fully charged and not hot or even warm at all. I'm gonna have to do a real time drain and charge on my day off to see how long it officially takes.
Also, I have the Samsung slim case on it and it charged with it on.

Interesting. I have a couple of those Lumia Chargers still when the Lumia 900 released that I got for free? or cheap. Gotta dig them up somewhere but it would be cool to use those if they work. I remember charging the Nexus 4 on it was a nightmare cause you had it angle it EXACTLY right or it wouldn't charge.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insigni...lack/5690015.p?id=1219148349637&skuId=5690015
Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.
Here's the exact same one we got with our note 4, OEM and everything! Plus it's way cheaper than the insignia one

External Batteries for Note 5

Hi guys,
So I am almost 100% certain that I'm going to be getting the Note 5, which as we all know comes with a 3,000 mAh battery (which cannot be removed), I'm thinking that I'm going to need to keep a power bank on me when I'm traveling. The power bank that I had for my Note 4 (which worked quite well) was from TechMatte. I got it on amazon about a year ago, and it's still going strong.
Do you guys think that it will still work well for the Note 5? I think that it will still work fine, but I'm wondering which one you guys use-- perhaps I might upgrade if a good priced one is mentioned?
Thanks!!
I use a limefuel Been using it for several months now. It works great. They did have a problem with bad batch where the USB ports would either come lose or no longer work, but since there was a 1 year warranty I got a free replacement
Here are 2 with Quick charge 2.0.

I just bought the aukey quick charge 2.0 one earlier today. Amazon had a lightning deal on it and I got it for $23

I have the Cheotech one. Its one of the few Quick Charging Batteries that actually registers as a fast charger. I have tested many of the ones available on Amazon. You wont see them on my channel since they dont pass the Fast Charger test. See my video on the Choetech one.

No doubt limefuel works great.:good::good:

I watched your review of the Cheotech. Have you tried the Aukey?

I have not received a unit from AUKEY as of yet. Many of the ones that claim to be Q2.0 when connected to the phone stay in cable charging mode. Not Fast charging. Can anyone on the thread post their experience. See my pic

Hi guys,
So I am almost 100% certain that I'm going to be getting the Note 5, which as we all know comes with a 3,000 mAh battery (which cannot be removed), I'm thinking that I'm going to need to keep a power bank on me when I'm traveling. The power bank that I had for my Note 4 (which worked quite well) was from TechMatte. I got it on amazon about a year ago, and it's still going strong.

I too have that one. great value for the price. They are also offering quick charge ones-- my wife uses it on her s6.
External Battery Power Bank is the right solution as the Note 5 has non-removable 3000mAh battery that is even less than its predecessor.!

Samsung uses its own process this time, says could cool down the phone to save battery.

Anyone could do a comparison review of the two? Is Aukey battery a new released one? I had the CHOETECH one. It's a pretty high quality PowerBank good for both Samsung and Apple users, because its fast charging port is compatible with iOS devices (at fast rate 2.1Amps max).

I have seen the comparison on one of third party website between these two power banks. It seems like un-biased but I am not much sure about it: http://www.lonpower.com/aukeys-powe...neration-quick-charge-2-0-based-power-bank-2/
I do to.
I just received my Aukey 10000mah model# pb-t4. And fast charging works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011U0AY22/ref=ya_aw_oh_pii?ie=UTF8&psc=1
i read somewhere that Quick Charging does wear the battery quicker. ever since i read that, i've avoided Quick Charging my S6e unless i really needed the juice quickly. i just don't want to own a brick sooner than later if true, especially since we cant replace the battery. on my S6e, it fully charges in 1hr 12min with the Adaptive charger while with a regular 2.4A charger, it fully charges in 1hr 20min. i haven't checked my Note 5 Duos yet. but i always have 2 power banks with me in my camera bag anyway whenever i'm carrying it which is almost always.
i've got several branded power banks including those from Anker and Aukey, but the only one that has held up the longest and still performs really well is my Mophie. it just doesn't have as large a capacity as my other power banks.

Has anyone found an external battery that can be CHARGED with the quick charge tech. I know there are ones that will charge a phone real fast, but I want to charge the battery real fast.
