[REVIEW]New Trent iCruiser IMP1000 11000mAh External Battery Pack

$79.95 at Amazon
Purchasing this was a bit of a gamble. One person posting on the Amazon product forum indicated that it did not work on their Nook Color. However, that has not been my experience. The included retractable cable and microUSB adapter do charge the Nook, however my Nook would still discharge (at a slower than normal rate) while using it. While not in use (Nook on, screen off) the Nook does charge. If the Nook's USB cable is used instead of the retractable cable, it charges just fine, in use or not.
Considering the Nook's battery is not removable, the external battery pack makes a great addition while traveling.
I have yet to run the battery pack empty while charging both my EVO and NC, so I can't comment on just how much power you can expect to get out of this. If the capacities of the nook (4000mAh) and the pack (11000mAh) are accurate, and there is little to no losses in charging efficiency, you'd expect to get almost three full NC charges for one charge of the battery pack.

I've had my eye on these though I don't travel quite enough to justify something that expensive. I have a now-discontinued APC 2000mAh pack that can charge my N1 with a little to spare. Although the NC (and the N1) slow charges from this pack, you can build a charge adapter that will make both charge at full power from any USB port. See this post.
What's the max charge current from this pack? If it can hit the 1.9A of the NC charger then an adapter would make this perfect.

The sticker on the pack indicates 5V 1A.

Can you charge two devices at once or is there just one usb output.

There is just one USB port. I believe the company makes another version with a USB port and a DC out port, but it has a smaller capacity and lower amperage outputs.

Is this one even better, and cheaper on sale?

Fast charging on MI3. Does it work?

Does anyone here have a 2A charger and can tell us how much MI3 will get of that current? It is said that the MI3 comes with fast charging, but I bought a 2A charger and the maximum the phone gets is 1.3A. I am curious if that is the maximum the charger will output or just the phone can't receive more.
Did the measurement using Elixir2 app from the market, the "Information" thing. The standard Xiaomi charger puts out a maximum of 1A, and the brand new charger I got a maximum of 1.2A.

Nobody has a 2A charger? Maybe from a Samsung phone or tablet.

I have 2A charger that I got with MI3 India. My phone gets 1.3 - 1.5 A while doing fast charging. I guess that's maximum it can draw.

How long does it take to charge?

For me only 0.6A
Hey man I heard someone on AOSP gets 1.9A, IDK how he does that.
For me even 1.3A would be good, look:

I have tested it with more chargers, in more rooms, but I get only 0.6A :crying:
Every charging takes 3.5h for me.

Yes, 0.6A is pretty bad. Even stock charger is 1A. Maybe thay did that in MIUI to protect battery heating (to prolong battery life). I haven't tried AOSP (I'm waiting for non-MIUI stable lollipop release), but I will certainly check it out.
I've also noticed that in the chargers where two middle data pins don't work (meaning there is no voltage in them), charging doesn't work either (or it is waaay slower).
EDIT:
I've just charged my phone using Logitech charger (that came with my MX1100 mouse), and found out that MI3 uses 1A on this charger (don't know what is the rate on original charger). I am using MIUI 5, latest stable.

Hi guys! I know this is an old thread but I didn't want to open a new one.
I'm currently using a 5V 2A Samsung charger and my Mi3 only draws
1320-1330 mA. I'm using Ampere and I'm on Miui6 4.4.4 Xiaomi.eu latest
developer release.
What I would like to know is:
1 - Is it possible to enable fast charging through a software update given that
the hardware supposedly supports it or is this a limitation of that little chip that is
responsible for the current draw during charge?
2 - Does anybody know if the phone draws more mA with a different rom?
Thanks

Fast wireless charger by Choetech

Fast wireless charging is finally here! Personally I have not been too much of a wireless charging fan for the fact that it took longer to charge a device than a normal charger. Let alone the fact we have quick charging options as well. Fortunately, we are not seeing devices come out with fast wireless charging support. The Note 5 and the S6 Edge+ are the first to lead the pack with fast wireless charging support. Samsung does have their own fast wireless charing, but it’s kinda pricy. Good news though! Choetech has made their own fast wireless charger and it works really well.
The Choetech fast wireless charger has been a great wireless charger. They have definitely won me over to the wireless charging side of the force. In the past prior to fast wireless charging wireless charging just wasn’t a big deal to me. For many people wireless charging is a deal breaker, but not for me. Honestly, it’s still not a deal breaker for me. At this point I do want to have at least some sort of quick charging. I love to be able to charge up a phone in a short amount of time. If you ever used a Galaxy S6 you know that quick charging was a must have feature on that phone because of the horrible battery life. Fortunately the Note 5 has redeemed the GS6 with much better battery life. Regardless, for those who like wireless charging and quick charging, Choetech has you covered.
From my experience with Choetech’s fast wireless charger has been a great one. Iv’e got no major concerns at all with this charger. Some of the features I look for in a wireless charger is if it recognizes the devices quickly, charges fast, and does not slide around on the surface. Choetech’s meets all my requirements for a wireless charger.
However, I think there needs to be some improvements. Such as…
Ditch the gloss finish. Nobody likes a fingerprint magnet.
The bottom needs a stickier grip. While it does have a rubber ring, it needs to be a little stickier. The best I have used is TYLT’s wireless charger that has a sticky material that holds well in place.
The needed improvements might be a preferences, but I think everyone would appreciate the mentioned suggested improvements over what the current build quality is like. The current setup is good, don’t get me wrong, and I still think the product is a 5 star rating.
In my opinion, to enjoy the Note 5’s or any other fast wireless charging device, this is a must have accessory. There are two versions that Choetech sells, which is one with a charging brick and one without. Each box does contain the pad and wire needed. Just make sure if you need a charging brick that you get the appropriate one. You do have two color options between white and black.

[review]RAVPower Fast Wireless Charger

RAVPower sent me their latest wireless charging pad, which is capable of fast charging the Note 8 and other compatible devices up to 10W wirelessly. I've used many RAVPower battery banks in the past, but had never used any of their chargers and have to say I'm very impressed with the build quality. I've had countless Qi pucks, stands, pillows and other contraptions since first getting my Nexus 4 and the build quality of this is up there with the best of them, probably only rivaled by the second generation square Nexus charger, which is an all time favorite of mine. The RAVPower charging puck is very hefty due in part to an aluminum base, and the weight and rubber feet ensure that it wont slide around your desk or nightstand. The top of the charger also has a rubber ring with just enough grip for the phone to stay right where you left it down, and not move around if your desk gets bumped. On the front is an unobtrusive LED which has different color patterns to let you know not only if your device is charging, full or something is wrong, but it also differentiates when it is fast charging versus standard. The pad itself has a way to detect non-compatible objects and shut the power off. I had no problem charging the various Qi devices I've got around the house, and the LED is dim enough to not be bothersome in the dark. As an added benefit it turns off once your device is charged.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that RAVPower includes a QC 3.0 24W wall charger and a 3.9' braided microUSB cable. Personally I would have rather seen it use Type C, but at least they are both high quality add-ons and not a cheap afterthought as they are with many of the chargers I've tried. I initially made the mistake of trying the wireless charger with a USB hub I had, but the light just blinked red and it wouldn't charge anything. Turns out you need to use a charger that's capable of providing 9V in order for it to work. Once I used the included wall adapter things worked perfectly. Overall this is a great little package that'll provide full speed fast wireless charging to your Galaxy and Note devices, as well as work with the upcoming iPhones for all of you defectors out there . I'd highly recommend this, if you want to try it out they provided me with an XDA exclusive code XDABRAIN which gets you 20% off through 10/15 http://amzn.to/2ybD5qZ. (For those wondering, I'm not receiving any commission/kickback/other compensation for this coupon or link.)

Quick charge 3.0 on Samsung fast charger

Hi, just bought a mi max 2 and wanted to know if the charger the reseller supplied me would charge at qc 3 speeds. Is there an app that will show this information? Thanks

No, you don't need an app. If it came in original box and packaging, the supplied charger should be the original and QC 3.0 certified one. Also, to see if your phone is using QC or not you can see that on the status bar, the charging icon should be other in different charging methods. The screenshot I uploaded will show the icon when the phone is in Quick Charge.

Hi, they took the original charger out and supplied me with a new Samsung one that fits my nz/au wall socket. It does come up with that symbol when I plug it in but I don't know if it's qc 1 2 or 3? Thanks

No, this is not a QC 3.0 charger. It supports only up to QC 2.0. You can also see that by the voltage output it supports. QC 3.0 charging is using up to 12V, while QC 2.0 only 9V, same like yours.

Yes
Yes that should fast charge but only at QC 2.0 Speeds you phone you look for the voltage 9v=qc2.0 12v=qc3.0

OK thanks, it charges fast enough for me but I heard that qc 3 was easier on battery wear. Is this true? I was thinking of buying this one but not sure if it's original:

You don't need to bother yourself searching for an original Xiaomi charger. Buy some QC certified one like Anker, Aukey, etc...
