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.

Thanks !!
That was exactly the kind of feedback i was looking for.
Just for information, how long does it take to charge your LG G2 with it?

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)
I bought 2 of these for $10 total plus Free shipping a few weeks ago. Tried them out and love them. Great feel. Awesome placement.
I just looked again and they are still selling for $5 (normally $50). Very Very Very good buy.

No, the charger will work just fine. It won't charge your phone unless it supports qi charging, of course. Ie: Vermizon model only as far as I know.
Well look here. Today I found out my phone has wireless charging!
Yea only the Verizon model has QI. I ended up buying 2 of them and they're great. Sucks they have a proprietary barrel power cable but it seems to charge much faster then my Samsung USB one made for a Note 3. I still use my Samsung one for travel.
Great :good:
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.

That's a great deal...thanks for the heads up....
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.

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

External Battery Power Bank is the right solution as the Note 5 has non-removable 3000mAh battery that is even less than its predecessor.!

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 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.

You can get the same promo on fast wireless chargers. IMO two fast wireless chargers for $52 is a much better deal.
I didn't find the bogo deal for the fast chargers until after I bought the regular ones. Also the 30% off coupon supposedly doesn't work for anything over $49.99.

Dang it! It looks like they don't have the fast chargers as part of the promo anymore either. I can't find them on the site.
OH well, i plan on using it to charge overnight on my night stand anyway so it doesn't need to be fast. If i need fast charge i'll just plug it in.
I have the fast charge pad and it's awesome (not the stand one).
Anyone else notice the different animations you get when you plug in at the bottom or place on the round wireless charger? Plug in at bottom you get a little animation of electricity flowing up briefly. Place on the wireless you get a similar thing but it's a circular animation from center outwards.

They both were showing they were valid until 3/19. I have a feeling the fast charge probably ran out of stock since they still have them, but link you to buy them elsewhere online or in store.
The wireless chargers are back ordered, I originally pre ordered one before I got the phone. And they sent me a email saying it was back ordered then I went ahead and did this deal also since my wife needed one. And the same a day later got a back ordered email.

I missed out on the deal too thinking a had a couple days left to order it. In my ignorance, I didn't think they would sell out so quickly. I spoke to Samsung via live chat and they tried to tell me the promo ended on 3/17. However, I explained that I saw it said 3/19 and she asked me to call customer service to see if they could help me out. I sat on hold for 58 minutes before finally hanging up to go to a meeting at work. Now I'm wondering if it's worth grabbing two of the non-fast chargers for $35 after 30% coupon before the sale ends today. However, the reviews of this non-fast pad make it seem unreliable. I currently use my old Samsung S4 wireless pad now when I sleep with no issues.
