Has anyone tried this charger?

My dog ate my charger and I'm looking to buy this one till I order a new one. Anybody have any thoughts on it?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insigni...lack/5690015.p?id=1219148349637&skuId=5690015

Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.

Is rapid charge the same as quick charge?

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.

Here's the exact same one we got with our note 4, OEM and everything! Plus it's way cheaper than the insignia one

That's the one I've been looking at as well but some of the comments claim it's fake. I know it's not a huge risk at 13 dollars but still kind of apprehensive.

This is the one I've been using and it's fantastic.

You guys are awesome! Definitely ordering the aukey one when I get home

I ended up getting these. Good reviews (samsung users reported that phone identified using fast charger connection) and decent prices.

I'll report back here after testing them Friday went they arrive! Eeeek! I'm excited lol!

Just got the chargers. All seem to work well and indicate fast charging via phone. Will report back if they fail or anything unexpected.

Can I use the fast charging brick with another cord and have fast charging?

External Batteries for Note 5

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

Here are 2 with Quick charge 2.0.

I just bought the aukey quick charge 2.0 one earlier today. Amazon had a lightning deal on it and I got it for $23

I have the Cheotech one. Its one of the few Quick Charging Batteries that actually registers as a fast charger. I have tested many of the ones available on Amazon. You wont see them on my channel since they dont pass the Fast Charger test. See my video on the Choetech one.
MOD Edit: Referral links removed

No doubt limefuel works great.:good::good:

I have not received a unit from AUKEY as of yet. Many of the ones that claim to be Q2.0 when connected to the phone stay in cable charging mode. Not Fast charging. Can anyone on the thread post their experience. See my pic

I too have that one. great value for the price. They are also offering quick charge ones-- my wife uses it on her s6.

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

Samsung uses its own process this time, says could cool down the phone to save battery.

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 do to.

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.

Has anyone found an external battery that can be CHARGED with the quick charge tech. I know there are ones that will charge a phone real fast, but I want to charge the battery real fast.

Just received my new LG Nexus 5x. I need some advice

I'm currently having some battery life issues with my Nexus 5x due probably to updates and heavy usage since I just got it. I know there is some controversy regarding what Type-C chargers and cables actually allow for the Nexus 5 to rapidly charge.
Does any one else on the XDA community had any advice past history with good chargers/cables as well as power banks? I primarily want to buy these products on Amazon so I can get them with Prime shipping

Basically anything by Anker is a solid call. You can get their products on Amazon. Well-made, quality products from a company formed by a group of friends that worked at Google. Just remember, the Nexus 5X is not QC 3.0 compatible. It's capable of charging speeds up to 3000mAh but there are tons of factors that affect charging speed like CPU temp, battery temp, etc.

I definitely agree with the other person that Anker is your best bet. I currently have 4 Anker cables and I abosolutely love them! I would recommend you get a 10 ft Micro USB cable from anker and then get a micro usb to usb-c adapter from Aukey and you're set! That's what I am using now and haven't had any issues!!

I just got a 10ft type c braided cable from Amazon... Will my Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 base still work for rapid charge or do I need to get an additional charger?
A link would be really helpful if any one had a particular one in mind :good:

It'll work but it'll charge at the rate the phone prefers. Probably something close to like 1800 mAh. Any charger will work, it's the speed that matters. You can usually look on the small print of the charger and figure out how fast your phone can potential charge depending on the voltage pulled from the wall.
This charger will work well if you have a USB-C to USB-C cable.
Although I'd probably just recommend something like this charger so you can charge multiple devices with almost any cable. Especially with friends that always seem to forget their wall chargers.

cheapest replacement dash charger

I think my wife nay have thrown my dash charger and lead away.
Where's best place to pick up on relatively cheap

I really can't comprehend why members think it's remotely okay to post smartass remarks like this? This isn't the first time I've seen useless posts like these.
Anyway, the cheapest I've seen are $25 USD on Amazon and they include a cable as well.

not useless, just higher than you can comprehend.
there are many chargers out there, not many 4a. just use regular 2a... can't compare the cost and the trouble getting one!

Don't get a replacement or cheap cable. Go for original OnePlus cable.

Consider oppo's charger, it is also 4A, but you're gonna have to find the cable if you don't have it

AliExpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-dash-charge.html?spm=2114.01010208.0.0.ib5tfC&site=glo&g=y&SortType=total_tranpro_desc&SearchText=dash+charge&groupsort=1&initiative_id=SB_20170611214213&needQuery=n

Haha found it finally been resorting to using standard 2amp chargers still pretty quick at two hours

You can try oppo r7's charger (ak755), its “vooc charge” supports the dash charge as well.
But don't choose model ak775/ak779, though the oneplus3 shows dash charging while using these two, they charge slower than ak755...

The Cheapest way like i did
OPPO AK779 Charger (Support Dash) (15$) + Orignal Cable (5$) from Aliexpress. = 20$

How big you looking? I have a 28600 anker that has fast charge. They now have a USB C PD bank that should charge faster than reg USB to C. Have heard RAV are good also. Just putting that out so you can have a choice and compare. I do know one thing I got a 5k version for my son non fast charge. I took it on vacation in July invade we needed a smaller charger on the go. Forgot it was in the suitcase. I pulled it out last week and it still had a full charge. So anker seems to know their stuff.

I was looking around 10Ah, else they get too heavy for just me. For when my family travels, 20-40.
What's the URL/model for your 28600? I don't see any with that value on Amazon.com (oh, the 26800 for $83?)

Thee zerolemon external charger ( not the phone case) works well

I have the Samsung Fast Charge 5100 mAh battery Pack w/ USB-C and it's a great little charger. The screen on charge is 1010mA average and the screen off charge is 2356 mA average. I purchased mine for $37. If it's for yourself and not a gift, you can get the damaged packaging one from Amazon Warehouse deals for $25.91. I love the small size of the charger and the build is great. I also purchased this Soft Felt Pouch for the charger.

That's the one I decided to buy. Silver and Navy Blue have "like new" for $20.
The.passthroigh charging was another strong point in its favor.

Yeah it's the $83 one. I got it on sale for like $60. I will say get what you need. I got the big one because it was a disney trip and we all know smartphones drain fast. Needed the power bank to last all day. Whatever you get they are very handy and not reduced to looking for a plug.

This question for everyone. How long does the battery pack hold its charge? A week, month, longer? My main reason is power outages. My last portable would be dead by the time I actually needed it. Would be nice one held juice 2-3 months. Idk if thats possible? I live in the city. We usually have power outage once every few months. Sucks being in the stone age for 0-6 hours. Depending on what caused it and how much damage.

Ok cool thanks I appreciate it. Anker definitely one of the best battery brands out there. Thats impressive charge hold and perfect for me. Will cruise Amazon and look for best portable Ankrer battery pack. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's how my bank is also. Drain is minimal. I dont know about the rav or others. I only have anker. I am sure the more popular brands has the same performance

I have a romoss sense 6+, 20000mah has a usb c in and out, quick charge 3.0 PD3.0. Very affordable as well. I got mine for 15usd

Heavy power consuming apps and constant usage if WhatsApp and Facebook will definitely drain the battery of any smartphone. And power bank is one of the solutions to this thing who are traveling continuously. That's why I'm using Anker 20100mAh power bank, this power bank charge 2 device simultaneously at faster speeds.
