I'm going to get a battery pack,
Probably a huge capacity like 8k to 12k mAh with super fast charging like 2Amp.
My questions are
1. Can nexus s use the 2amp charging rate?
[Samsung changer for nexus s is 0.7A and I tried using my HTC charger which is 1A. It really charged up quicker.]
2. Will my battery get hurt if I use such high of amper?
Please give me some advice. If possible, please give me some suggestion.
Thanks in advanced.

The 2A rating is just the maximum current that can be drawn from it, it doesn't mean its supplying 2A constantly. The current drawn will depend on how fast the Nexus S decides to charge. Of course there's the issue of charging in USB mode instead of AC mode if the data pins of the USB port are not shorted, which most third party accessories don't. Then the Nexus S will only draw 500mA at most, which is quite slow. If you short the data lines of your USB cable, for example, your Nexus S will draw up to ~700mA, that will be the same rate as the stock charger.

Sorry to revive a dead thread like this, but what came of this?
As title.
BTW Great piece of kit.
Yes you can... Mine works fine with it.

I have tried to use two non-nexus chargers, one from lg e900 and one from p1000, first one had a problem with it, i mean it wasnt able to sustain working device when using it, one from galaxy tab does fine, diffrence between them is max current, e900, does 0,35A, and galaxy tab does 5.0 juet like nexus one.

I'm using an HP Touchpad 5.4Vdc/2A charger and it works perfectly. My half amp car charger doesn't even register when you plug it in though.
The stock Nexus 7 charger lists DC Output at 5Vdc/2A.
I believe the One X charger is a 5V 1A charger, it should work but you probably won't be able to play while charging. The Nexus 7 charger is a 5V 2A.
heh, im just lazy. I originally had a nexus one and so that is the charger that is all nicely cabled in my house! since i got my One x i have been using the N1 charger for it and it works fine
N7 however doesnt, connect N1 charger to it and N7 flickers between charging and not charging all day
Is it safe to charge my HTC Desire with the Asus Nexus 7 charger? So I don't have to switch out chargers all the time.
My HTC Desire charger is 1A, and Asus is 2A. HTC charger would be underpowered to charge the Nexus but what of the opposite? could Asus charger damage the HTC Desire as it's 2A?

It will charge without/with negligible harm.
I sometimes charge my old SGS1 on my Asus TF300 charger, and I have no issues.

Well an Ampere is defined as a Coulomb (unit of current) per second, so the only difference is that 2 A provides current twice as fast as 1 A, meaning it will charge twice as fast. As long as the voltage is the same or very similar between two chargers, you shouldn't have a problem (theoretically). I'm only speculating though, so if someone else has a better understanding of electrostatics, please correct me.

A charger will only provide as much as the device can pull. If the device can only pull 1A then the charger will only provide 1A no matter how powerful it is. This is a safety feature.

N7 charger is 2.0A, OneX charger is 1.0A, so it will charge half as fast.
Why not, you know, just use the charger that came with the N7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
As long as the voltage is correct there is negligible risk. From reading, it appears that the N7 requires about 1A to sustain during use. Using a 1A adapter shouldn't do any harm, but will not charge during use.
As far as using a 5.4v charger, its within 10%, but I still would only use 5v chargers just in case.

I managed to blow the fuse of a cheap and nasty charger (rated 5V 1A) while using it. Not saying that it was the 7, but it had been in daily use with other devices and this was it's first use with the 7.
Another charger didn't even manage to get the icon to show as charging.
Also seems to take a lot longer charging with a 1A unit, so I'm heading out there to find a 2A unit. One charger is not enough and life is too short.
It will charge, but slowly. The nexus charger is 2A whereas the One X charger is only 1A. My in-car charger for my One X won't charge ,y nexus at all.

all if the above is correct about 1x amp charging the device with one exception. Some batteries. especially li polimar . have very smart logic chips. If you charge with a 1 amp charger and use the device at the same time and are pulling more using the device while charging you can OVER LOAD your Battery causing to much heat and damaging it or damaging the charger. Of course this all depends on the electronics and the logic chips within them on how they are managed.
So i would use caution if you charge and use the DEVICE With anything less then the exact specs of the Charger that came with the device...
I have this issue with my cell phone using a cheap usb car charger... Cost me the price of a Huawei battery..
Hey!
Is it OK to charge my nexus 5x with 2.1A wall charger?
Or it will damage my battery in the long term?
The ony problem is that it will most probably charge slower.
No it will not, the max Amps a USB A -> C connection can get is 2.4A, you're safe as long as your cable is compliant
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Its fine, the nexus can't draw more than the charger can give, as long as the charger has the correct fail safes. Been charging mine with a old xperia 1.8 amp charger.
If it is a cheep wall charger don't bother trying, unless you have fire damage insurance.
If you're still not sure download ampere from the google store, get the pro version. After set it to display the current in the notification bar

What is a good power bank for the nexus 5x that can charge fast and hold a few charges?
I'll be camping next week and would like something for pictures and biking and hiking, and for pictures. Not in network but would like for pictures, will be running in airplane mode to save battery.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does it require USB type-C fast charging? Also, how portable do you need it to be? Very slim, pocketable, big but fits in a bag?

Doesn't have to be usbc, as slim as possible, it could fit in a bag.

Well the slimmest ones are about the same dimensions as the phone but thicker, 5000mah, and are usually only 1A. So that would only get you something like 1.5 charges at a slow speed.
I would go with something like a 10000mah capacity. Those are usually 2.4A and now support Quick Charging 3.0 making it good for possible future devices. It'll also get you a good 3 whole charges at a decently fast speed. It's also still relatively pocketable especially compared to the bigger ones.
I have the older QC 2.0 version of this paired with a short 1 foot USB-A to type-C cable:

It's on the short narrow yet thick side. I don't carry it around all the time but only when I definitely know I'll be using the phone a whole lot for videos/pictures. It's in the glove box most of the time for just in case.

I use the 10k mah xiaomi power bank. I think there is even a new version by now. I ordered it via banggood and I use a USB type a to c cable from aukey with it. I
have never managed to drain the battery within one weekend, it even lasts a full 5-day week with moderate - heavy use and I managed a full 7 days with my phone battery and the power bank. The latter of course with not so heavy use, but I was still impressed.

is fast charging?
I have the One Plus 10000 mAh powerbank and use it with the original cable + micro usb to usb-c adpater. No rapid/fast charging, but the phone charges pretty fast anyways.

If you're using a type A to type C cable, it'll only charge at a 1.8A or 2.0A with 5V rate and not hit 3A mark. It might say "Charging rapidly" but actual numbers are lower than the stock charger. Basically, at 15% over 60 minutes (with the screen off and no use) you'll probably be around 70%. Stock gets you to 90%.

Got myself a Xiaomi 20.000mah powerbank a few weeks ago. Works very good and I am able to charge my phone around 5/6 times. The phone doesn't say 'Fast charging', but I think it is pretty fast. Would definitely recommend.
Used it camping for a few days, charged it up two full times, took about an hour to get to about 95%

Plain and simple but alot useful.
I am using Kingston Mobilelite Wireless G2 (I think there is G3 now)
Powerbank, SD card, USB, Wifi/LAN bridge in one.
I can stream music/video, copy files and charge at the same time.
I would recommend buying Xiaomi Powerbank 10000 mAh Pro - it's designed for USB-C devices and charges Nexus 5X really well.
Does anyone make a power bank that offers quick charging for the 5x? Looking for something in the ~10K mah capacity.
I looked at the Anker PowerCore 10000 with Quick Charge 3.0, but one review said it won't 'quick charge' the 5x.

This will not rapidly charge a Nexus 5x (or 6p presumably.) Otherwise seems to work as advertised.

I bought the Anker from here in the UK. It fast charges my 5x approximately 2.5 times per full charge of the bank.
I have that Anker battery bank and although it's "only" 5V 2.4A via USB A to C cable, it does 15% to 80% in one hour. Stock wall charger gets to 90% in the same time.

You need a powerbank with USB Type-C in/out. Quickcharge won't work on the 5X, because Google tries to push USB Power Delivery as a standard!

Only problem is that nearly all USB-C banks are big 20000 mAh ones. USB A to C does a decent job but just not quite as fast.

3 hours kind of sounds long. I go 15% to 100% in an hour and 20-30 minutes with the wall charger. Doesn't sound like it's true 5V 3A speed.
