So, I was saving up to buy a Huawei AP20Q power bank, but it went out of stock during the process, so now I'll have to settle for something else.
What power banks are available on the market, which sports 20 000 mAh and are compatible with at least Huawei's Quick Charge, if not Super Charge?
Is the AP20Q just out of stock or is it discontinued?
Damn... i wanted one too.

So I purchased this for my note off eBay. Paid about $40 shipped to my door. Impressed by the quality, it looks sturdy and would last a while.
I used battery current tester and only got 600max charge apposed to the 1200 my stock Samsung charger puts out.
This means 4-6 hours charge time instead of 2 and I must say when I use the phone on charge it actually sucks battery.
It's rated at 2amps which was my mistake but unsure if it makes much difference at 2.1amps.
" Input: DC5V---1000mA; Output 1: DC 5.3V?1000mA (Max); Output 2: DC 5.2V?2000mA (Max)
1A & 2A output at the same time, suit charge for mobile phone, Tablet PC, Digital Camera etc."
Does anyone know how I can get 1200? Or can suggest a power bank for the note 2 that can hold a good charge in say 2-3 hours?

I assume you are not on Verizon and using Galaxy Charger Current app to track your current?
OK, here is a scoop on external battery pack you got. Since you bought it from ebay, I can guarantee you that Yooboa is a fake HK version. eBay sellers buy it form Aliexpress retailers in bulk and re-sell it at double the profit. Take a look here: http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...00mah&catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20130429044248 - you can get it for $20 shipped free to US (but aliexpress retailers doesn't accept paypal).
There only a few authorized Yoobao resellers in the world, and Kevikev is probably one of the few (if not the only one) in US. Even at his discounted price, this real model cost $55: http://kevikev.com/Yoobao-Long-March-11200mah-Power-Bank-for-USB-Mobile-Device-YB-642.htm
The fake ones look very real but have fake guts. Beside 600mA current you measured (or maybe it's just a typical 500mA pc-usb current?), it most likely is not 11200 mAh but probably half of it, and you also have to take in consideration 30% de-rating on top of it since mAh capacity on external batteries is at 3.7V while it has to be converted to 5V usb output where you loose 25%-30% due to inefficiency.
I recommend Anker and NewTrent external power banks I have tested and reviewed (summary of my review links in my signature). Just keep in mind those mAh numbers in reality are always 30% lower for the actual capacity your phone sees. I also been informed NewTrent will be releasing 13000 mAh slim battery in a few weeks which I'm going to review as well. But either way, Anker and NewTrent are trusted brand names (with a ton of amazon positive reviews) and offer 1A and 2A outputs and also 1A input charging of the battery itself so you can quickly charger your battery pack and then quickly charger your phone as well.
I'm on an Australian Telstra phone.
Used the original cable for those figures which is embarrassing.
Looks like I'm tossing this junk, I'll just go buy one you mentioned.
Thanks heaps for your help

You are welcome. If you are not in a rush and can wait till mid of May, the NewTrent upcoming PowerPak+ might be a good choice since you are after a higher capacity. I only have their preliminary spec but its going to be 13,500 mAh (@3.7V) with 1A input charging, and dual 1A and 2A outputs, and dimensions of 125mm x 68mm x 28mm @ 283g.
Also, as I mentioned in other threads, stay away from those ebay no name 20,000 mAh ext battery bricks...

Believe it or not, i read your reviews and cross checked some prices online.
The NewTrent may be a better battery than the Anker, but its about 3 x the price to get them from US to AUS.
I ended up getting the new ANKER A4 13000mah
1. Because the 3E was the only other for sale
2. They're both USB input so it makes more sense just to go the higher mah rating
3. Its a new model
Paid $60 shipped to my door from ANKER off ebay.
I purchased it for travelling across Europe - i want the option to charge via AC + USB instead of just AC with the Anker 3. I only intend to use it with my Note anyway and bought it because Hostels won't always have free powerpoints.
My last question i was worried about and just bit the bullet with is: How long does it take to charge via AC (samsung stock) ? It says a crazy 8-10hours on the website via USB. I don't want to leave it alone fearing someone will steal it if its 10 hours.
Thanks again - how do i thank you in your other post? can't find the button.

Uh, totally forgot m8, you are Down Under I know it has been mentioned before by others that shipping outside of US for some products could kill the price. Or sometimes you can't even get the product shipped out; there is a thread started by another member from Australia about getting Zerolemon 9300 mAh battery.
I was about ready to suggest another battery from Yoobao (genuine) rated at 15,600 mAh for $60 from Kevikev, but it probably going to cost you arm'n'leg to ship it out. Sounds like you got a great deal on that Anker battery and even after de-rating you should still get 3 full chargers of Note 2. Regarding charging time, just look at it this way, your rating is 13000 mA-hour. The input to this Anker E4 is 1500 mA, and that's how much current it will take every hour so 13000 / 1500 = 8.6 hours. I think it will be closer to 8 hours of charging. Your wall Samsung charger is 2A which means it can supply up to 2000 mA of current which is plenty for battery's 1500 mA input to charge it at full rate. But if you are using a wall charger rated at 1A or an old phone charger rated at 500mA-750mA - your input will be charging at a much slower rate because AC charger will not be able to supply full 1500 mA amount. Probably charging overnight is the best idea if you are worrying about someone taking it away. But these things are so small, and even with stock usb cable you don't have to be next to outlet. Probably put a newspaper over it or something when you are away? These don't get overheat even considering 30% of energy loss.

I paid $49 + $9 shipping - a bargain in my book. All the other batteries are $50 to ship, which is about the price of the unit itself!
I think i will stay away from Yoobao from now on haha. 8.6 Hours is OK, it doesn't need to be fully charged at all times - just enough for a quick recharge in an emergency situation where i can't find a charger or provide another 3-4 hours battery while im kicking it on the train for 6 hours.
I couldn't get the Astro 3 anyway - even if i was looking for a 4-5 hour AC charge.
Looking forward to testing this badboy out!
Hello!
I bought 16000mah xiaomi power bank and I wonder is it compatible with my G4?
Xiaomi output is not same as LG charger, is it safe to use it?
Best regards!
Hi, I´ve been using it since i have my G4 and haven´t had any problems so far
i've been using the 10400 mah capacity since day 1 i received my G4,
and as far as i can tell, if you got the original (not the copied ones), the electrical current is stable, no funny heating at all, charges almost as fast as LG charger itself.
I purchased the power bank from Hongkong goldway store in aliexpress.
It supposed to be official store
It's fine, the rate of charge is determined and controlled by your phone. The only time you should be concerned is if the voltage is remarkably different, i.e. using a 12V charger.

Why didn't you buy the new xiaomi 20.000 instead.? That one has quickcharge 2.0 included
I also own the 16.000 Mi powerbank to charge my G4 on travelling it works fine too. Dont worry about the output unless the voltage is different. The output ampere dictate how fast the charging speed, less ampere means slower charging. More ampere means faster charging but also raise the battery temp during charging. But as long it support fast charging it shouldnt be problem.
Which power bank should I get of these three Samsung fast charge 5200 or Lenovo 5000 or mi 5000 and if you have better suggestions please tell
I picked up a 66oo MaH bank from 5 Below and it works great
Is there any power bank that can charge at a decent rate. The official power bank is not available in ny Country india?
Quick charge
Pretty much any high end power bank will charge the phone relaively quickly.
Specifically look for devices with qualcomm's Quick Charge spec supported.
first result that i could find was an AUKEY 16000MAH pack on ebay
My Google Fu is failing me... has anyone seen a suoerfast charging power bank out there for the N20U?
Whenever I put superfast charge in the search, I get wall adapters, but I'm looking for superfast charging on the go.
Plan is to pair this with the Razer Kishi for mobile gaming with no power drain.
Samsung have one super fast charge power bank though. Faster than the normal one which is at 25w. I have one and I am pretty happy with it.

Any USB-C powerbank that has PPS and at least 25W will work. There's many to choose from.

I got in on their kickstarter for the 100 watt unit. You obviously don't need 100 watts for just this phone, but they have several to choose from, and I am very happy with mine.

Thanks, but that's way out of my price range for a power bank.
