LETV 13400mAH Power Bank QC2.0 2 Way Power Bank - G4 Accessories

Hello all:
I just ordered this and based on the specs and review, it appears to be a good buy.
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Orig...SB-For-iPhone-Samsung-HTC---Black-353596.html
It's at a pre-sell price $32.99 + if you sign up for a new account at GeekBuying a 5% off coupon. I will getting it in 5 days (DHL) and will post a review up on XDA.
Here's a 3rd party review on it I found online.
http://www.gizmochina.com/2015/08/3...ank-supports-bi-directional-quick-charge-2-0/
'The highlight of the LeTV Power Bank is that its supports bi-directional Quick Charge QC 2.0 specification. This means, you can charge the power bank at high speed as well as charge your smartphone at high speed.'
Just spreading the wealth to those interested! :good:

Looks very interesting. I'm between this and the Amazon Basics 10,000 which I already have but my partner wants and steals on a daily basis xD

RAVPower External Battery Bank- Great Price!

First off, I do not have any affiliation with any vendors - whatsoever!
Here's an awesome deal on a highly-rated, 10,000mah battery bank for $29.99/free shipping!
Read about it here
Then go here for info on how to get the deal.
If you want more reviews, go here for reviews on the previous model (essentially the same thing).
I've known about this for a couple of days now, but I just grabbed one, and wanted to share with my fellow forumites.
Hope this helps someone else looking for a battery bank!
I have actually been looking for something like this.. but the price I see is $59.99. Is there a special code I have to use to get the discount and free shipping?
EDIT: oops I didn't read all the way
Yes - you have to go look at the SlickDeals link in my OP.
My smaller power battery bank has been a life-saver so many times in the past six months of ownership. I look forward to getting this one.
Goo deal .. the promo code is only valid from 8pm -11pm EST till Dec 31. Buhch of people say that they run out of the alloted quantities pretty fast, so try to get it as early as you can.
Technical Data say it's 5200mAh, product description say it's 10000mAh
5200mAh high capacity, the 2 top-rated 2600mAh Samsung 18650 battery cells [...]

However, the RavPower website states that the pb07 is indeed 10000mAh:
http://www.ravpower.com/ravpower-dy...ones-digital-cameras-tablets-and-e-books.html
Yeah - the Amazon write-up is inaccurate in a number of places - it seems that info from prior models is carried forward. This model uses four Samsung cells that provide 2600mah each.
I'd go with the mfg'ers website and what actual customers say about the battery pack's capacity.
Not that this will make a difference for anyone else but I emailed the seller and they told me this product is not UL certified. Big bummer for me because I'm in the Navy and they require every device that we plug in aboard a ship to be UL certified. This would have been super handy for a deployment as electrical outlets are scarce on the boat. My search continues..

yes, +1 to the Anker unit.
Just got mine. Super fast shipping. I'll report back after I get a chance to use it.
If you are on the fence, there are some new additions to the product reviews at Amazon here.
The deal lasts through the end of the year. I did notice that they sell out fast when the discount window starts at 8PM est.
Off to get it charged up...

will you provide us with some pics of it next to the nexus 7 by chance (size comparison)?
wavrunrx,
Dude, I would love to, but unlike everyone on this forum right now, I don't yet own an N7. It's at the top of my xMas list and by most accounts I've "been good". So here's hope'in.
The height/width is about the size of a pack of cigs, and it's about 3/4" thick. Rounded edges, hefty, a beautiful piano-black finish, really nice design and comes with a charger, two usb/mini usb cables, and a black velvet storage bag.
If it were white and had an Apple logo on it, it would be $175, easy.
Still don't have an N7 (c'mon Santa! c'mon Santa!, I've been "nice" the whole f**ck'in year!!)...
... but I can report back that this battery pack is awesome. It takes a while to charge-up, but that's expected given it's capacity. I repeatedly put my Galaxy Nexus on it yesterday and it charges super fast and doesn't even break a sweat. Plus I could be charging another phone (or tablet) on the other charging port. Given what I've seen yesterday, this could be my sole energy source for my GNex for the better part of a week without ever being tethered to a wall.
Bookmark: Thanks for Sharing. May look into getting one before the deal expires.

Very nice price indeed, thanks for the quick info. Just curious, how long does it take your unit to charge up?
I got one of these during this deal and I love it. The powerbank was nicely packaged and came with some extra tips for other cellphone models. Even came with an ac plug too which impressed me the most. I love getting products with added accessories that I didn't think would come with. As for the unit, it's compact and stylish and nicely designed. Very portable and lighter and smaller than I anticipated for a 10,000mah charging unit. It's literally small enough to hold in my pocket, but not both my phone and this together. If you carry a pack with you, this would be perfect.
I don't dare to crack open my unit but I read on an Amazon review that the four batteries used is Samsung 18650 power cells which can charge up to 500 or more times. There is also a lit up gauge that lights up to how much power is left in the powerbank. I used this on a short trip last weekend and maybe used this twice and it worked wonderfully. I can see myself using this during future camping trips, outdoor outings and even during emergencies. I love it and I can't stress this enough on having something like this since my phone tends to run out of battery fast during trips since I use my phone a lot during these times. Highly recommend everyone have something like this around.
i just got my unit in the mail today.
comes in a very nice box, well designed, comes with 2 micro usb cables, wall plug, and a felt pull-string bag. the unit itself is quite impressive. has a nice weight to it, and just feels solid. im still charging mine up, but sofar, (and especially for $30) i am *very* impressed.

Awesome. I just orders mine today. I live in Hawaii. How long did it take to get yours in the mail? Also can you do a review on how it charges the nexus 7? How long does it take? Can it fully charge the nexus? Can you use the nexus at the same time while it's charging? Etc. Etc. Thanks

right off the bat i can answer these:
"How long did it take to get yours in the mail?"
i live about 2 miles from where it shipped from, and if it wasnt for xmas eve/xmas day, i would have gotten my unit 2 days sooner. shipping would have been overnight, if not for xmas.
"Can you use the nexus at the same time while it's charging?"
unfortunately no. :crying:
when you are charging the unit itself, it shuts down the 2 remaining usb charge ports, until you unplug it from the wall.
**edit
now that i re-read what you asked; yes, you can use your phone/tablet while it is charging from the RAVPower.
the RAVPower just cannot be plugged into the wall at the same time.

whew! At first I was about to cancel my purchase because I thought you couldn't use the nexus while charging from the RAV. That would have been unacceptable. As far as not being able to use the RAV when the unit itself is charging I don't really mind. Thanks for the quick replies, I'm eager to get mine. Update us on your experience when you got a chance to test it fully charged if it's not too much of a bother

Possible Aftermarket Nook HD/HD+ Cable

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else...
I just saw this on Ebay. I haven't ordered it yet, but it appears to be a generic cable for the Nook HD+. If it's true, maybe we'll finally start getting these cables on the cheap soon.
It's Ebay item number 360832581782. (I would link it myself, but, as a new member, I am not allowed yet.)
In the UK these are now £5 at the official Nook site (along with the covers), has the US site not reduced theirs by now?

Sure, they dropped the price recently, but $15 is still way too much for a USB cable. Those cables are also notoriously flimsy. I'm just glad to see that someone (in China, probably) is finally making an alternative. Once the market is flooded, the price will go down dramatically. I don't want to give B&N any (more) of my money for their proprietary nonsense.
Any brave suck.... I mean volunteers want to try one of these out and get back to us?

I'll pick one up after I get paid on Friday and report back. I need an extra cable, anyway.
Looks like the same item is available on Amazon: Nook HD Charger + Cable Fits HD 7" 9"Models ONLY By Pure Power Adapters ® (I can't link either.) The B&N wbesite still has it for <$13 - cheaper than both the ebay and Amazon knockoff. Paying more for something I can't guarantee will work is not a good idea IMHO.

The issue for me (and many others, I'm sure) is that B&N do not ship outside the UK/US. I could definitely use some eBay trader who ships worldwide...
I'm intrigued for several reasons:
1) "6 YEAR WARRANTY" (?!?)
2) No mention of any electrical specs whatsoever.
3) *Clearly* a third-party creation, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this came out of a Foxcon facility.
I'd advise caution and suggest testing it with something you can afford to lose.
What interests me most is the 30-pin connector. I've been keeping an eye out for a source but it seems to still be too proprietary. Now it looks like there may be a source starting to leak a little.

I wouldn't say buy from this seller, but the cable itself may be fine. It looks to me like besides being unresponsive, and apparently refusing to refund monies, this seller seems to regularly ship the wrong product.
Of the negative reviews for the HD/HD+ (BNTV400/BNTV600) cable, in a one month span, one was a failure to deliver ( I have had issues with the post office loosing a package recently - couldn't even get reimbursed completely, a long painful, and boring story but not at all the sellers fault ) and the other was probably the wrong product.
In the same one month span, I think I counted more positive reviews for the same product. So, I believe that the cable itself is probably fine...
That said, what I want to do is a case mod, or some type of snap on adapter that will hold the connector firmly in place and supply a standard USB port(s)/HUB with passthrough ( I have an HDMI adapter that I want to open and see if I can use for this ) in the bargain.
I am in no hurry however, so I don't know when I will get around to trying to do it...
Hopefully someone can find a cheaper source for this cable, for those of us on super limited income ( my mom bought my nook and hdmi adapter and case... )

External Battery

What are some good external batteries that support quick charge 2.0?
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
The Power Pack Micro is a good one - supports quick charge and functions as a key / phone finder with the Motorola connect app. Here's the link - http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/motorola-power-pack-micro/
Also, I saw a couple other quick charge Motorola Power Packs with larger capacity at my local VZW corp store.

a little better
Most external battery packs are fairly similar internally.
The most important thing to consider is that it has a high output current.
Many only output 1A, which may reduce you power drain, but one charge under heavy use.
Ensure you get one with the 2.1 Amp output, you will be happier.
Consider the length of cable you will use to connect it.
I prefer a super short micro USB cable and to hold the powerpack behind, but this changes with the curved back of the turbo.
If you will use a cord and have the power pack in your pocket, consider length.
I would avoid a power bank with a built in micro USB cord as it is likely to wear out if move around like hing, camping, etc.
Otherwise, get the most capacity in MaH you can afford and are willing to carry.
Cheaper chinese ones are available but may not reach their stated capacity or efficiency.

[Review] Tronsmart Presto 12000mAh USB Type-C/QC 3.0 Power Bank - Best yet!

Seeing as though power banks are a dime a dozen and there are a billion knock off brands out there, I tend to only trust a few brands that have proved their worth. Here is my review of the newest offering from Tronsmart. I am on the trade in your Samsung every year plan, so this will definitely be useful for any of the upcoming Samsung flagships. It the best of past,present, and future.
Look/Feel
First impressions were very good. The Power Bank was packed well, in the typical Tronsmart purple/white packaging and came with a good quality USB-C to USB A cable for charging the bank itself. The bank itself has a good sturdy feel and seems to be made well and out of quality materials. The matte and glossy black make it look very high end. There are white leds to indicate the remaining power level in the bank. The power button has a nice tactile feel.
Performance
The Volt IQ did a good job of recognizing the my phone and applying an appropriate amount of power. It recognized the various devices I plugged in and adjusted the voltage and amps accordingly (Bluetooth speakers, headphones, droid mini, tablets, etc).
The Power bank charged my S7 Edge with typical QC 2.0 voltage and amps (it supports Quick Charge 3.0, but my phone doesn't).
- The highest I saw was 9V @ 1.62 A.
Overall impressions are excellent, I would buy this product again. It is well made, did not get hot, performs great and looks nice. The 12000mah is plenty to charge my phone 3 times from empty to full, or my kiddos tablets 3 times. It is a reasonable size and weight compared to others I have purchased. I have no desire to carry a brick sized power bang with me.This one is ideal for travel, camping, beach trips, or just heavy phone use days. I do wish it came with a USB-C to Micro usb as micro is still the norm and will need a few years to fade out. I'll be ordering one so I can utilize both ports at once.

The S7 Edge has a 3,600 battery
3600*3.5 = 12,600...
Besides power banks never give you the exact capacity it tells just like the usb drives for example.
Seems to me just as if you're just promoting tronsmart.

Great use of the calculator. It was just an estimate. Besides, I rarely kill my phone to empty, so this would definitely give me 3 nightly charges.
I'll humor you and change the op.
I do reviews on tronsmart products because they fail to let me down. Some I have purchased and some were sent to me for review. I also do reviews on all the other cases and gadgets I purchase.

I had originally planned on ordering this when I purchased my 1+3 but it was out of stock. My original order would have allowed me to have this shipped for free as well. If I order now, it's $4.99USD for shipping. As if the charger and cable weren't expensive enough.
This is just total BS! 1+ is pulling an Apple with their stupid proprietary cable and chargers. They just want to make a killing on the accessories.
They're not pulling an apple. You can use other charging cables and accessories you just won't charge as fast as dash charge unless you have their accessories.

I received mine yesterday, finally got to test it today and I am very impressed it's as fast as the mains charger; £25 well spent and worth every penny. Best in car charging experience I've ever had.

Seriously, dash charging is incredible who gives a **** if it's proprietary? FYI OnePlus can't have much margin on the +3 so I'm not gonna begrudge them making money on accessories (which are still reasonably priced). It's also worth pointing out that by definition anything that is not standard will invariably be proprietary, the difference between Apple and OnePlus is that OnePlus did it for sound technical reasons. I'm also pretty sure OPPO's VOOC chargers will work with the +3.

BS! I don't let Apple get away with it, I certainly ain't going to let 1+ get away with it. There are plenty of generic 3rd party cables and accessories available for iphone/ipads. Apple tried to make their cables proprietary but plenty of 3rd parties are making cables and chargers that are compatible with iphone/ipads. That's not the case with 1+ DASH tech. Hope some 3rd party can make some cheap DASH compatible car charger and compatible charging cables. I like the Android side because they don't do proprietary sh&t! If some brand does -- like Samsung -- then I'm going to call them out on it!

I'm also pretty sure OPPO's VOOC chargers will work with the +3.

My point is not that DASH is bad tech. On the contrary, I think DASH is quite good. So good that I wanted a DASH car charger at the time I purchased my 1+3 so that I don't have to pay extra shipping like I do now.
I'm not going to let 1+ slide on this. They've made a good phone in the 1+3 and DASH tech looks quite good but their limited supply of DASH car chargers for sale at 1+3 introduction was total BS! Hardly anyone got one when they first purchased their 1+3.
What happened to 'Don't Settle'? I'm always having to settle with 1+!
Then don't buy it. Not trying to be rude but who cares 1+ isn't.

I'm not happy that I have to pay €7 (~$10) for shipping as well. Wanted to order it with my +3 but it was not released by then. They were in stock one day after I receive my +3. Wanted to start a discussion with them and if they'd be willing to send me a coupon that would cover the cost (alternative: send back the phone and order another one with the charger. But then, they are low on phones as well. That would have been a too high risk ) . While I was preparing my mail for them they ran out of chargers again. That was pissing me off even more. As they are available since yesterday again I just ordered. **** those 25% shipping costs in comparison to the product itself. Charger was sent out a couple of hours later so I will at least have it fast. In the end it's by far not the cheapest charger but it's not completely overpriced with the €37 (~$41) I've to pay now as well.
I'm very satisfied with the phone so let them make some money. Prefer them to release a few more models than them selling everything for cheap and run out of business.
