Wait why? It's literally just a wireless charger and the phone just has a cool standby Google Assistant mode. Did they lock it down to just this charger? That'd be kinda dumb if they did. Here's a less than 20 dollar wireless charging stand and there's a ton of other options too. Maybe they don't look as cool but they're less than a quarter of the price.

Edit: Ok it'll work with any Qi charger. Don't buy the Google charger then. The phone is already enough of a rip-off compared with the competition. No reason to throw a way way way overpriced Qi charger into your shopping cart.

Not sure if you mean Type-A (type B is the house shaped one that plugs in the back of older scanners). Type-A is the most common USB plug that have been on computers and most wall chargers forever. Mini Type-B and Micro-Type B are the types of plugs that were on phones before type-C, if that's what you meant.

Anyway I picked up a 4-port charger with 3 Type-A and 1 Type-C (with 60W PD) so it can charge my phone, camera, and whatever else plus charge my Laptop. I keep that in my bag all the time (just need to throw in an appropriate outlet adapter if I'm going international)

I feel like I'm posting about USB too much here, but people keep asking because it's easy to get confused about it. I just copied the table I made a while ago in a comment and added FAQs and notes for outside the US.

I hope this answers what people are really looking for better than the other threads.

Do you have some specific need I didn't answer? Have a USB-C charger you're curious about that isn't listed? Ask in a comment. Just keep in mind that (other than the iPad one) USB-A chargers won't give you good speeds. This includes the chargers bundled with even the most recent phones by Samsung, Apple, Sony, LG, and HTC.

I'll use this comment to note some USB-C chargers I'm aware of but don't recommend:

---------

Charging speeds vary

These chargers can give the Switch great speeds sometimes, but usually they're closer to just "okay". It seems to be random every time you plug it in. If the Switch is completely turned off (not just in sleep) when you plug it in, you'll almost always get those "great" speeds for as long as you keep it plugged in even after turning the Switch back on and playing. This happens because Nintendo's implementation of USB Power Delivery (USB PD) is very buggy. They're a hassle to use right for now, so I don't recommend them, especially since there are better alternatives now.

Charger|Price (USD)|Link|Notes

----------

Safety issues

These don't damage the Switch, but they can damage other USB-C cables and devices, especially if you plug them in to something that doesn't make sense, like another charger. If you know how to use them right and you're careful, you won't damage anything, but why risk it? Get something else.

Great but expensive

If you have a USB-C laptop, feel free to get one of these, but otherwise don't bother. Plenty of chargers in my OP work just as well with Switch and are much cheaper.

---------

Unconfirmed speeds (and expensive)

These chargers are also too expensive to recommend. They probably work great, but I haven't seen any reports of people actually trying any of them. They all probably work with the dock too. If anybody has one of these, please tell me if it works with the dock.

Also, swipe down on any page of the home screen to access a search widget that is full system search + web search. And Hey Siri is a thing. Also I can only assume you knew going into it that you were getting an LCD screen so I feel like you shouldn’t complain about it.

Here's my OnePlus One 64gb version in its case, tempered glass screen protector, and Qi receiver.

Everything works fine. The glass catching fingerprints still, though not as easily as the screen did. Edges weren't done great so I imagine they'll collect dust.

The case fits well and even allows for my Pressy unit (which is compatible) to be inserted without any flushness issues. Honestly fits it like a glove.

I'm using a microUSB "B" style Qi receiver to charge. On my TYLT unit, I can have the phone vertical or horizontal and it'll charge still.

I included a photo of all the packaging so you know what brands I bought. If you want to know the specific vendor I bought (and not shop on your own.. I was in a hurry so I paid a premium on all of them, at least 25% over what I could have gotten them if I had the time to wait).

Wireless Receiver

Nillkin Case - Black

Tempered Glass Screen Protector

TYLT Wireless Charger

EDIT: Charging Update!

At 25% charge, I put the phone on my TYLT dock from 12AM-5:30AM; phone was fully charged by the time I woke up! So yes, the charging is at least fast enough to fully charge my phone.

EDIT 2: 2nd Day Charging

At 14% charge, I put the phone to charge at around 11:30PM. At 5:30AM the next day, the phone seemed to have overheated at 76% and had stopped charging. Battery temp showed the phone was overheating at a ghastly 49 Degrees C! I will try one more night to see if it was just a fluke. Anyone want to buy me a new battery? Ha.

EDIT 3: 3rd Day Charging

At 53% charge, went up to 100% overnight. I made sure the receiver was right in the center of the TYLT dock to avoid poor connection.

In the afternoon I hit 17% because the phone was being ridiculous. Put it in the dock vertically without giving it much attention. Went up to 38% in 90 minutes, but the phone was pretty hot. Will charge the rest. If no new edits appear, it means I've stopped having issues with charging.

EDIT 4: ?? 7/15/14 Update

For those of you who want to use the TYLT to charge, be careful. My phone repeatedly overheats using this, going as high as 43C. Some research today shows it may be due to the metal in the phone activating ALL the coils, causing the phone to roast. I will try this official post by TYLT tonight to see if that helps. I have also installed this app from Google Play to monitor my battery and make sure the temperatures don't go too high during my testing, as I don't want to completely destroy my phone's battery in the first month. More reading on the heating issues here

EDIT 5: 7/16/14 Update

I added a block that's 1/2" tall to the bottom of my TYLT unit and then set my phone on top. Additionally, I removed 'High Accuracy' mode on the GPS to Battery Saving and disabled data (because those also generate heat inside the phone). Doing this, my phone never exceeded 38C. Charging overnight, when I awoke my phone was sitting at 100% charge idling at 36.5C, perfectly acceptable!

Tonight I will try to charge using the bottom wedge but leaving Data and High Accuracy on. I have installed Battery Temperature Guard to play an alarm if temperatures exceed 40C (still acceptable as you can reach this while gaming, but I don't want to have my phone sitting at that temp for 4-5+ hours!)

Possible items to use as 'blocks':

• Legos
  
• Mechanical pencil lead holders (stack 2-3)
  
• Giant pink eraser
  
• Double-sided insulation foam
  
  
  EDIT 6: 7/23/14 Update
  
  So it seems sometimes I can charge without any issues, other times the phone will charge very slowly. I've experimented with height positioning with the block mount to lift the phone, it seems anything from 2cm-3/4" will prevent the phone from heating. While charging I do not exceed 36C.
  
  I've also pulled the receiver out just a little so that I can pull the microUSB out of the port in case I need to charge via cable or connect to the computer. Time will tell if that will damage the cable, but for now it looks like it's fine.
  
  11/17/14 Update:
  
  If you're visiting here still, please note I have STOPPED using a Qi charger in lieu of an actual dock with microUSB connector. The charger worked, yes, but my phone was constantly warm, resulting in shorter battery life on a regular basis. Since removing it, my phone has been cool to the touch, and keeps its charge longer throughout the day.

I bought one of these and have been fairly impressed with it. The first one I got would just power itself down every 15 min or so, so I exchanged it. The second one has been good (one stuck pixel but I don't mind).

The all-metal case is good without much flex. The IO is pretty solid, with two USB-C ports, one USB A 2.0 port, MicroSD, and of course its own small barrel port for the power brick, but you can also optionally charge it over USB-C including with one of those breakout USB-C hubs with Power Delivery and that simultaneously gives you HDMI out, Ethernet, and such (I do this currently using this USB-C PD charger and this hub. There are cheaper USB-C hubs but I wanted one with HDMI and Ethernet output as well as Power Delivery input so I could plug everything in with the one cable).

The keyboard is decent and the layout is right to me, although it's not backlit. The touchpad is basically garbage but I don't mind since I use an external trackball. The screen is IPS and glossy glass with sharp text, but coming from a MacBook or my PowerSpec 1510 laptop, it's rather dim with low contrast. The speed of the machine is fantastic for the price, and the SSD can be easily changed out but I don't know about the RAM. There's no compartment to open just for that and I don't know how to get to it otherwise. (I may never actually need to, but I did look into it when I got it.)

The touchscreen works, but I disabled it because I wanted it to still work with the lid closed and plugged in over HDMI, and when I would close the lid it started clicking spots all over the screen. After disabling the touch screen input driver in Device Manager, no more issues with that. I don't really know what the battery life is like because I mostly will plan on keeping this plugged in. No bloatware at all. You get prompted to buy/install ESET antivirus when you boot, and if you choose no, it will uninstall even that, leaving you with a 100% clean OS with just drivers and a Winbook wallpaper.

You can probably run some form of Linux on this fine, although I've got no idea whether things like the touchscreen, sleep or the battery meter work. The wireless chipset is Intel and the sound is Realtek so I imagine those are fine but don't know for sure.

Edit: I'll keep adding things as I remember them. I'm not adding the usual stuff like laptops, ipads, gym gear, etc, because those seem...common sense?

It's on Amazon for $499 but its currently unavailable.

Then you should see the 120k mAh Anker PowerHouse.

Be careful not so much for the snow while driving, but the ice. Especially the ice that forms at intersections -after- the snow plows have come through. Seems like they put a Zamboni like shine to the intersections. AWD and ABS won't really help you to stop. So approach intersections slowly.

About your AWD. I don't think you'll need true "snow tires", but check that you have all-season tires.

If heavy snow is forecast, top off your gasoline and your cell phone battery. Kinda like the folks saying to bring extra gloves and such in your car, wouldn't hurt to get a small portable USB charger, like one of these https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y
[Not an endorsement. Just that or something like that]

This is stupid and wasteful. For something around that price, I'd recommend this reusable charger: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y/

It says that each of the chargers in the 15$ 3-pack of Jolt Emergency chargers will take your phone up to 20% battery power. This is a total of 60% if you use all three. The 16$ Anker battery, on the other hand, can store 5000 mAh. Assuming 80% efficiency, this will charge an iPhone X to 100% and still have enough left over to charge it once more to 50%. Also it's reusable. I use their 9000 mAh and am surprised how many months it holds the charge. Other brands are probably good too, but I've heard good stuff about Anker.

This!! This is the same case for my 15” MacBook Pro which come with 87 watts. If you use the 13” adapter at 65 it works, but slowly drains the battery under load as u/mixmastakooz states. Then Mac OS kicks in to keep it powered on; you get huge performance hits which are understandable.

As an aside, I always travel with just one adapter for everything and this works for my laptop on planes.

As an aside, u/mixmastakooz does civ 6 have good touch support? I’ve been looking at an XPS 15 or 13 with the 4K touchscreen option.

I have this 30000mah Aukey and it's amazing, charges really quick.

Just get a pocket wifi. My wife and I had one for 11 days when we were there and even forgot to drop it in the mail before security. Had to express post it back afterwards but they didn't even charge us any fees.

We were able to use both phones, a tablet in the evenings and use the wireless to transfer photos from our camera to our phones seamlessly. If I remember correctly it only cost us 70$ CAD. We used Japan-wireless and Softbank.

Coverage and speeds were excellent. I could even stream Plex from my home server in Canada to our tablet at bedtime. TV there SUCKS.

The only viable counter is having another device to charge but keeping a pocket wifi charged is way simpler than dealing with 2-3 plans for T-Mobile and/or SIM swapping.

Get an Anker 5 port charging brick. It was invaluable for our trip.

I mostly use the Apple Pencil with Notability or LiquidText. I use Goodnotes a little. Some of my professors use Google Drive, so I need to use those apps from time to time. I also like Outlook for email, iBooks and Kindle Reader for different texts. Duet Display turns my iPad into a secondary screen for my MacBook Pro. I use Scanner Pro to turn all my syllabi and other handouts into PDFs. iStudiez Pro helps keep my schedule in order, and Quizlet helps me study. I use Affinity Photo for processing my Nikon RAW files ( I let my Adobe CC subscription lapse, I just don't find myself using my dSLR that much lately.) I also use a MIDI keyboard with Garage Band and Pro Metronome for piano practice when I don't have access to a real piano/piano lab/practice room.

I keep games and other entertainment apps off the iPad since I'm trying to study and don't want to make it any easier for me to goof off.

Case, Screen Protector, Apple Pencil sleeve, tether to keep my adapter on my cable, stand, keyboard, and holder for using my iPad as a second screen for my MacBook Pro. I also use Anker cables, charger port, and portable charger.

Remember folks, the battery is literally the stomach of your moeblob. Battery stress will be directly voiced as stomach problems, so avoid stressing your moeblob with deep charge cycles and rapid charging; carelessly crashing below 30% is just really rude anyway. Make sure she's relaxed and cool before and during charging. If she's a brainy one, ensure she's not overthinking anything as that alone will heat her up.

Use a high-quality charger and/or cable with a good powerline filter/power surge protector. I like to use ones from Anker. If you have to feed her on the go, I recommend this right here. This will provide her with tons of clean, tasty power.

When it comes time to replace her battery, ensure you can get a replacement from her manufacturer, or an OE equivalent from a reputable company such as LG, Panasonic, Sanyo, or Duracell. You might also want to look into Li-Fe batteries as the lithium-iron phosphate chemical is a lot more stable and has 4x the number of charge cycles. Unfortunately, the Li-Fe batteries aren't as compact and don't have the same voltage as Li-On batteries, so I can only run these in my two larger moeblobs that can compensate for the voltage. They tell me all sorts of good things though, especially that they aren't exhausted and as ravenously hungry, even when being feisty at 20%.

I hope I helped someone. All of these tips will prevent your precious moeblob from being BURNED ALIVE IN A MOLTEN BALL OF LITHIUM ION FIRE

Nothing exists that fits all your qualifications. You're not gonna get that many ports, with that much power, in a small package.

My current setup is an Anker 5 Port with PD and shorter C7 cord. I charge my 2017 Macbook Pro 15, iPhone, and Pixel phone just fine.

My old setup was a Pixel 45W charger, and an Aukey dual-port. I consider this setup more compact overall, but I preferred having a cord to plug into outlets, instead of directly hanging the charger off the wall. If an outlet is wonky and can't support the weight (airplane outlets, I'm looking at you...) it sucks.

I use the Anker charger https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Premium-Desktop-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=anker+usb-c+charger&qid=1556286951&s=gateway&sr=8-5

​

But I would now purchase the updated Powerport PD4

https://www.anker.com/products/variant/powerport-atom-pd-4/A2041121

​

It takes a double barrel (C7) plug/cable, so I just ordered C7 power plugs for the countries I needed

https://www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-adapter-60320-C7-receptacle/dp/B004OHHKSU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=IEC+60320-C7&qid=1556287077&s=gateway&sr=8-3

​

Upside is I have the choice of bringing the cable or the plug (or both).

That's not the point.

The point is that both last years and the new gen of iphones support fast charging. You need a different lighting cable as well as base mount in order to do it (the normal iphone charger is a 5watt charger, fast-charging is using something like this 42 watt charger)

So yes you can totally still use all your old iphone and ipad charging stations and cables. The problem is you're not going to be able to take advantage of the much faster charging speeds.

Think of it like filling a tank with water. The current iphones all fill up with a pipe that's 1 inch around. It takes a while but it gets the job done. The two latest generation have a opening that is 5 inches around so if you are using a bigger pipe, you can fill it up much much faster. You can of course still use the old 1 inch tubes but it's not taking advantage of the fact that your new one can accept a much faster stream of water to fill it up.

Does that help?

There’s also a newer that’s coming soon from Anker in a smaller form factor.

Anker 30w

I tend to use devices like these to bulk power a cluster of Pis. Probably much easier (and quieter/cooler/more energy efficient) than adapting a PC power supply.

I have 5 Raspberry Pi 3s doing Docker cluster work with one of these connected to a UPS. Anker also do a 5 pack of short micro USB cables super cheap you can use to keep the cabling tidy.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s really necessary. For charging, I use this portable charger to keep my phone and my boyfriend’s phone charged all four days. There’s a phone charging station in maplewoods if it runs out of juice so you have a backup option.

For lights, I just use these solar powered lights and they work great! Then I use a battery powered lantern for the camping table, another in the tent, and that’s more than enough light to be able to find everything in the dark. I also have a few solar stakes from the dollar tree that I put next to the tent lines so no one trips over the lines or stakes.

As for the speakers, I really don’t think that you need anything more than a small portable Bluetooth speaker anyway which doesn’t require much power and can just be charged at the phone charging station if necessary. I stayed in maplewoods last year and I loved how quiet and relaxing it was (my sis calls it the “retirement home of electric forest lol). I kinda think of it as the unofficial quiet camping option. If you’re looking to party after hours, the RV camp is like a two minute walk away. Of course, if you wanna have a big speaker setup, I’m sure no one will stop you, but maplewoods seems like the wrong campground to have it in bc not many people can get in, it’s generally super chill (I don’t remember anyone playing loud music after hours last year), and, again, the RV parties are right next door.

Happy (early) forest! You’ll love maplewoods, it’s honestly so great!

First I completely agree with you on all the points you have brought up.

A couple of chargers that have worked for me are Anker and the one liked below, there are a few Anker ones linked on the Amazon page in the same.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LJT2EPK/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A regular USB-C power bank at 15W won't keep up with a lot of use cases of the laptop. It'll charge the laptop while asleep. Otherwise it'll hold the line or slow down battery drain more often than charge while you use.

No power bank currently on the market will match the power needs a 15-inch laptop with a 90W power adapter has. The upcoming HyperJuice will, as it outputs up to 100W. But it is not released, expensive, and untested by third parties so I wouldn't rush into that.

Your best option right now is a 45W output power bank. They work well with 13-inch laptops, charging while in use. They are still 15W shy of ideal for a 15-inch laptop, but better than any other option. They'll charge while in use under more conditions, but not all conditions. They'll charge fast enough when the laptop is asleep.

I would recommend looking at two specific power banks:

dodocool 20100 45W Type-C PD

• 45W output, 30W input
  
• My review, focused on the Nintendo Switch but also tested with my own 13-inch MacBook Pro
  
  ZMI QB820
  
  
• 45W output and input
  
• My review, focused on the Nintendo Switch but also tested with my own 13-inch MacBook Pro
  
• USB hub function, plug a USB-A device into the power bank and it connects to the laptop
  
  For efficiency try one of two charge approaches and see which works better for you.
  
  

1. Plug in the power bank while laptop is at 100%. This will drain the power bank first.
   
2. Only plug in the power bank to recharge the laptop up to 80%. At 80% disconnect. Charging any device from 80-100% is the least efficient period.

I'm glad you asked, I'm still trying to figure out my battery pack and wall charger for the AZT/PCT this year so I'll be watching for responses. Right now I'm leaning toward the Anker Powerport Speed II and Anker Powercore II 10K If anyone is aware of a 10k battery pack with power delivery let me know! So far the only PD packs I've found are massive 20k+

I bought the Seneo charger. I’m hoping to get a flat one for my nightstand but I’m liking this one so far.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0IL0QX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_ILOedZnJtemTl

I have the Seneo wireless fast charging stand from Amazon... It supports fast charging with a fast charging plug... It only comes with stand and fast charging cord... No plug... Works wonderful with my S7 edge... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0IL0QX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Z6ZozbWCG2KNG)

Whatever charger you get, make sure it's at least 7.5W in order to fast charge your iPhone. Also, a quick charge power adapter that's at least 15W.

Here's what I highly recommended:

Seneo Wireless Charger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0IL0QX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iRgACbZRW3C4S

AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 18W https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018RR30TK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_u9dACbDBTVQJ1

Absolutely, I've been using the same series of chargers that I used with my S8 and wirelessly fast charged my S8. Before the most recent G7 update (opr1.170623.032) it did not wirelessly fast charge. It does now!

The LG v30 uses standard USB-C. There is no special adapter needed specific to LG.

You need to decide:

1. do you want wired or wireless charging.
   
   
2. do you want normal or fast charging.
   
   I personally went with fast wireless charging and could not be happier. If that is something you're interested in you need to make sure you're using a 15w power adapter and a charging mat/stand that support it.
   
   This is a popular adapter:

Apple USB C to Lightning cable plus a USB C power delivery charger like this one. Fast as safely possible.

Edit: and yes we agree that Apple should be providing something like this out of the box. Not a shitty white brick that trickles.

I use mine a lot, not just for charging my vita, but for my smartphone, tablets, etc. It really comes in handy.

Here is a link to the charger on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/

They make them, but not for big phones. Been looking for one. Probably going to go with a windshield one again, I used an older version when I had a Note and it worked great. Still use it with my 6+ and just plug the phone in to charge.

You're not going to find anything nearly as good as the official charger for the price. You can maybe find a USB C charger for $20-$25 that may or may not be strong enough to charge the Switch while playing.

As you say, you don't want to fry your Switch for using the wrong item, but you are risking doing so to save literally $5. Spend the $30, you won't regret it.


Also, I'm pretty sure the charger you linked won't work very well as you need one that is USB C to USB C. That one is USB A to USB C. It will charge, but will take forever and still lose battery if you try to play while plugged in. Here is an example of a C to C charger, and it is on sale for $23, but by the time you buy a C to C cord it will be about the same price:

Basically any QC 3.0 pack is supposed to work, did you get one that has a green qc3.0 port?

This one works fine for me and I already had it on hand. (for some reason the port that supplies QC on this one is the orange one).

This smaller Anker one is supposedly a drop in replacement for the stock one.The QC port here is blue so I have no idea what the color standard really is now.

Tylt Vu 3 has worked great for me. Looks nice, can use the phone while charging, the fact that the charging point for the nexus 6 is off center doesn't matter, and full charge takes about 4 hours.

If you've got wireless charging, the iOttie Qi One Touch mount is fantastic.

Right. Got a bit carried away there.

I’ve got an Anker brand portable charger as well & it has worked really well for me too.

It will work just fine as long as you have a wall adapter/laptop/outlet that you can plug a USB cable into.

My team brought a small USB Battery Charger. Kept our phone at full power each day (9 am to ~Midnight) of the con. We had a 3200mAh 5V/2A, which I could not find online. So here are two I would recommend:

Anker PowerCore+ mini, 3350mAh, 5V/1A (this is a slower charge), small form-factor.

Anker PowerCore 5000, 5000mAh, 5V/2A (like the one I have), bigger than the mini, close to pop can height.

^ This.

Plus they're inexpensive, lightweight and add hours to unplugged usage.

Of course they're worth it.

I use an Anker, too. It's only 20 beans and worth every pfennig.

Assuming this is the case, I’d recommend picking up a good sized battery like this: AUKEY 30000mAh USB-C Portable Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank, 3 USB Outputs Battery Pack for Nintendo Switch, iPhone 8 / Plus and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F8IRIN0?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

That way when you have access to power you can make the most of it/take it with you.

If this isn’t the case then OP, please check out r/personalfinance

Maybe, but I would recommend the Anker anyway. I trust them not to burst into flames when placed under a continuous load. Anker does have a different model with the plug rotated 90 degrees that might fit your outlet better, but it is also more than twice the cost.

Also, a cheap, noisy power supply coupled with cheap speakers without filtering might end up yielding you a lot more noise.

Just got the Powercore II 10,000. FWIW it charges from dead to full in 4 hours using this charger https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUSYF8G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

With my iPhone 7 plus I get a bit more than 2 full charges. It's a great bank.

Yeah I should have been more clear. All the functionality besides the battery bank already exist in a single device like this 60w can charger most of the USBC laptops out there.

Then I can just slip the battery bank in my pocket and go out for the day instead of bringing the charger.

Check out Anker. I have this PowerPort and charge my iPad Pro and iPhone at the same time, along with my Apple Watch, Kindle, and baby monitor.

Anker's chargers are excellent and support Samsung's quick charge standard

Anker sells a nice wireless charger on Amazon. It's not the full charging speed that the Official Samsung wireless charger uses (15W) but it does charge at 10W. It has two coils within the stand so it can charge through the bigger cases if you have one. It's a affordable price too at $20 currently.

I got this.

What you are doing is dangerous, I strongly recommend you just throw that dongle away.

You CANNOT go from USB Type-C to any other type of port with a dongle. That is explicitly forbidden by the USB spec for good reason, as USB C can supply such high amounts of charge, converting blindly to other ports can cause fires.

The short answer to your problem, is you're going to need to buy a USB Type-C to mini/micro USB cable, and not a dongle. The cable will know it's only a mini/micro port and be incapable of charging at the full USB Type-C speeds, but it will charge your speaker properly.

The dongle you own is trying to trick the USB C cable into working with a different type of port, which is why it could be very dangerous because the USB cable itself doesn't know what type of charge to properly send.

If you want to use a dongle, you have to go the other direction, with micro/mini to USB C, which will then limit USB C to the slow charge speed that the cable can actually handle.

EDIT: Just to note, since your pictures are very vague. If that Samsung charger does not have a detachable cable, you'll also need a different charger, where the USB C cable is detachable.

Here are some suggestions to get you down to just a single charger and 1/2 cables:

Chargers:

• Anker 18w
  
• Scoshe Dual 18w
  
• Anker 30w
  
• RAVPower 45w
  
• Inatek Dual 15/45w or Single 60w
  
• Anker 60w
  
  
  Cables:
  
  
• USB Type-C to Mini USB
  
• USB Type-C to Micro USB
  
• USB Type-C to Type-C
  
  As a final note, you can also find dongles similar to what you have already, but they need to be the opposite of what you have. The dongle should always have the male part as USB Type-C, with the female part being Mini or Micro, such as this dongle. Just be aware whenever you do that, you're giving up some potential charging speed, as you're then limited to the older cable's specs. For example, that Samsung charger you have might be around 18w if it came with a phone or 30w if it came with a Chromebook, but if you charge with a micro cable, it would be limited to somewhere between 5-15w.

OP would you mind confirming that this is the TYLT dock you purchased? Thank you for the quality pictures and post. :)

TYLT Vu

Expensive, but solidly built and stylish. Wish the angle was a little but sleeper, but it's still pretty nice to see my phones display at a decent angle.


RAVPower Qi Charger/Portable Batter

Also kind of pricey, but worth it because it's useful and practical.

Would it not be better to keep the warranty on the phone and instead have a powerbank of some sort? Something like this perhaps?

I carry an Anker 5 Port Wall Charger when I travel so I can keep the devices charged, but any USB wall charger should work.

Usually they'll have one of those small honda generators. They're really quiet. You're not supposed to have generators in GA, IIRC, but lol rules. They're hot items for theft too, so be careful.

Alternatively, I've seen people use the power packs like for car emergencies that have the regular plug outlets. They'll die pretty quickly with continuous use, so sometimes people bring a fee, but they're easily $100 each(example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYJVFNK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LemSCb8F83D33) . They take forever to recharge, so it's not likely you'll be able to do it at the park. Or you can get this beast: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0196GQAKM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1bmSCbK96YA6M

The real LPT is engineering a deep cycle battery into a custom made box. Like this: https://www.arkportablepower.com/blogs/news/48712645-cool-diy-battery-box-on-reddit

Most these crews have this stuff laying around from hunting/camping/fishing/etc. So the investment curve is steep for strictly festivals.

My S8+ and wife's S8 are fine. No issues at all and we're using cheap stands from amazon. Fast Charge working just fine.

My buddy's S8+ is fine on the Samsung fast charge pad.

EDIT: This is what we have:

I charge my laptop using a USB-C wall charger. It's the same wall charger that also charges my phone. Being USB powered doesn't mean there has to be computer involved, so why wouldn't a hardware synth be able to charge over USB-C (provided manufacturers were to release new models with the port)?

I use the ZMI USB PD Powerbank for all of those items. It is the recomended powerbank for the guys in Wirecutter. It is actually 20000 mAh but is really small for that.

Amazon Link

Wirecutter recomendations

> I read good reviews about Logitech keyboard but it maybe too thick to I went w The official Apple one.

I have the Smart Keyboard and the Brydge keyboard. I like the Brydge at home but usually, switch back to the Smart Keyboard when on the road.

> Where do you guys stash the pencil while Traveling
Either on the side of the iPad or in a bag with some other tech pieces (cables and chargers).

> Do you have a privacy screen on it for flights ?

Nope - but I also usually have a window seat and can angle the device more towards the corner if there's an issue. But I'm not working on anything top secret and if someone really wants to watch a film over my shoulder without audio then that's fine.

> if you found a good charger w multi usb c plugs

I personally have and use this Satechi charger though the more powerful port is meant for my laptop (I can and have charged my iPad through it though).

> backup battery w juice for this and iPhone

I have an Aukey Powerbank which is 10000mAh and a ZMI one which is 20,000mAh - which one I take depends on the trip.

It took me ages of research to find new releases for items like this. Here's the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C2VZ2T/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been loving the charger so far. Incredibly quick.

I don't know if this one works, but it says it supports USB-PD and uses 12V. I'm considering getting it when I get my WIN 2.

I use a wireless stand at my desk and a pad at my bed. I have an Apple Watch so I use that as my nightstand clock so my phone lighting up doesn’t wake me at night. My picks are listed below

Anker Wireless Charger, 10W Wireless Charging Stand, Qi-Certified, Compatible iPhone XR/Xs Max/XS/X/8/8 Plus, Fast-Charging Galaxy S10/S9/S9+/S8/S8+/Note 9/Note 8, PowerWave Stand (No AC Adapter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBXZZN3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_346kDb0ZHGFKW

Wireless Charger, Anker 10W Max Qi-Certified Wireless Charging Pad, Compatible iPhone Xs Max/XR/XS/X/8/8 Plus, 10W Fast-Charging Galaxy S10/S9/S9+/S8/Note 9/Note 8 (No AC Adapter) - Navy Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PM578PW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_V76kDbB72QX86

I was looking into this today. Both aukey and anker seem to be making fairly compact dual port quick charge adapters.

Also found a 10,000mAh battery from ravpower that has quick charge input. Anyone using these adapters or battery?

Can someone tell me the difference between these 3 10,000mAh Anker external batteries? One
Two
Three

I don't know the difference between Quick Charge 3.0;PowerIQ, PowerIQ, and PowerIQ II.

This is the wall charger I have. Which one of those external batteries will work best with my wall charger??

I got a high rated one off Amazon for about 20$. Plenty of options on there if you look.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M0IL0QX/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the one above. It fast charges through all my cases.

Minus the battery, this is as close as I could find. I ultimately gave up on having it combined with the battery, and I think that was for the best, actually. To include a battery and circuitry cable of delivering 45W+ would be too heavy. There is shit like the Omni Ultimate (and they have delivered successful projects before), but it's just not worth the huge weight and space.

I go with the Nekteck and a small USB C battery pack for my phone.

This one is better I'm with 45W output vs the 30W linked in the other reply. Less bulky too.

ZMI USB PD Backup Battery & Hub for MacBook 2015/MacBook Pro 2016 or later/Pixelbook/Nintendo Switch/Pixel/iPhone 8 Fast Charge External Battery Pack Portable Charger Powerbank for iPhone/iPad/Samsung https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072BD98CM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_V0v-BbPRASNN0

Dunno how big your pockets are, but this is what I use. It's kinda big but it'll charge your phone for several days:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/

Whatever battery you opt for, make sure it has "PD" in the description. This means it'll fast charge your phone.

Wireless charging probably isn't the best bet for travel; you wanna be able to stuff your phone + battery into a backpack, airplane seat back, etc while it charges, and get the charging done rapidly.

I've bought many Anker brand batteries, chargers, and cables. I'm currently using this model for my pixel, battery banks, and bluetooth devices.

Can you fix your post format, please?

-No, you only can replace the M.2 SSD with higher capacity or buy an external SSD

-Only if it's throttling too fast you should replace the thermal paste, maybe you can use Arctic MX-4. Undervolting it with ThrottleStop / XTU. I'm using ThrottleStop because XTU can't run on my laptop and it's very light.

-egpu.io is the best source for eGPU setup, check that website. I think Aorus/Gigabyte Gaming Box is really good eGPU

-Connect wired keyboard-mouse to the TB3 box

-Yes, TB3 output has enough power to recharge your laptop

-For on-the-go setup, you should buy USB-C charger that has 1 more port, maybe something like this https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Delivery-MacBook-Samsung/dp/B074C2VZ2T so you can charge your phone and headphones (I don't know a charger with >2 USB ports), a Bluetooth mouse

Check to see if it can run on 45W. There’s a good chance it can unless it’s running at a very high load. Some of the reviews will monitor power usage, and if it’s okay with 45W you can some smaller options.

I quite like this charger, and it’s perfect for travel as it also includes a normal charging port.

I use a different charger from them, but I’ve always liked Anker’s stuff, here’s a fast charger from them. Anker Charger

I use this usb-c cable and this wall charger both from anker. They seem to be the perfect match for this phone. Haven't had any issues with them when I was using it with my S8+ and with my S10+.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_wvk2Bb890C371 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I4KHXM0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_Mvk2BbKBXMHQW (no longer available)

They only fast charge using USB-C to USB-C, otherwise it's slow charge. The first link charges slightly faster and is a better overall charger.

I received my Quest yesterday morning and have had quite a bit of time on it I have a Vive and had the Pro for a few days before I returned it. I am totally happy with it, games are better being tether less and the graphics are pretty good. One of the 10 games and experiences that I have played is notable Apex Construction. Totally cool game and well worth the $30 that it costs.

I did purchase a 10,000 mAh USB C Power Pack from Amazon and a 3 foot USB C to USB C cord. Nice thing also the 3 foot cable will also charge the quest and fits nice in my front pant pockets. USB output on the power supply is important and this one pushes 2.4 amps. When I'm playing while hooked to this thing my power level went from 15% to 25% in around 20 minutes.

​

I can easily get 7 hours of play time with this iphone 7 plus sized battery pack which is more than I'll play in a day.

I don't have it but people seem to be very pleased with it.

Also, you can get some sort of grip if you get cramps in prolonged gaming sessions.

I use the CTA Digital case. I also have the official Sony Travel Pouch for keeping the 3 parts of the charger, though to fit the Vita in there with the brick and USB cable, I have to take the part that plugs into the electrical outlet (the figure 8 cable) out or else it's too tight of a fit. Also if you've got Sony's official external battery pack, that can fit where the bricks goes in the pics.

I also have the following 2 cases made by HORI which I'm not using atm. The blue I'm intending on using with the Aqua Blue slim I'm planning on getting in July so I have both the OLED and slim Vitas, and maybe sometime the pink one if I want to carry games as the blue one unfortunately doesn't hold any.

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B005WPFLO8 (Looks like this on the inside, my OLED Vita did move around a bit when I tested it out which some of the reviews pointed out if Google translate is to be trusted)

Planning on also getting this Smatree case for that Vita slim for holding the 3 parts of the charger and if I ever want to bring everything at once. According to reviews, all 3 parts will fit, but it'll be a bit of a tight fit.

These a-hole jacked the price way up. So don’t buy this one. The other colors are still higher priced but not fucking $60

I calculated it to be 86Wh at 3.7V, which I believe it to be, if it is in fact at 5V then I have a really nasty hand grenade...

Get one of these if you have Amazon prime or can pay for next day delivery

I've had mine for a few years and they easily last the whole festival, plus you don't have to keep going to the EE tent to get a new pack

Bateria e de 3000mAh nu prea ține mult, cumva e de înțeles, că e imens ecranul și nici măcar nu e amoled; dar mie îmi place f mult cum se vede IPS-ul acesta. On time imi arata 7 ore. Dar se consuma repede daca te joci ceva. Daca iesi in oras si folosesti internetul, GPS-ul, de ex google maps sa te orientezi, nu-ti ajunge pentru toata ziua, iti terbuie baterie externa. Eu am asta, o folosim 2 oameni http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F5Q4F0U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

Do you want to experience 7 months under such conditions? In case not, and it's possible:

> no phone

If there's mobile coverage, buy a (e.g. Huawei) MiFi with a suitable data plan and a 15 W solar panel to power it -- plus a LiIon battery pack.

e.g.

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00PW4I9M0

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00F5Q4F0U

> no lights

The battery pack above comes with a lamp built-in. Add a LED lantern. A Kindle paperwhite is backlit, and can take some 1 k books (there are free ebooks if you know where to find them).

You can go hog wild, and buy a couple PV panels, a solar charger, an inverter, and a suitable lead-acid battery. I wouldn't want to go too rural if you're not used to it, and get a case of cabin fever.

> no motor car

Not really necessary, unless you can't shop within walking or biking range.

I would be more worried about lack of hot water. Do you have running cold water, or at least a well?

Seconded for Aukey. I have this and this and they both work very well with no issues. Also purchased this and this and they are great as well. You can usually find promo codes for Aukey devices on Amazon.

Get yourself a quick charger

This is the one that I have.

They make even lower profile ones.

I have this one and I love it

I use this in my car and this for work/travel and they both charge quickly. The second one is currently out of stock but the build and functionality of the brand is fairly good. It fiddles around for the first five seconds saying TurboPower connected/disconnected but stays charging afterwards. Plus, you can get good deals on both of those with the offers underneath them.

Edit: Have been using both since November with no problems.

Great deal! Also got this car charger together. ($5.99 with code CZO24P8M) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LJT2EPK/

Can't go wrong with this one. Aukey makes some quality stuff. My Nexus gains 40-50% of battery on my 20 min drive to work with this.

iOttie's qi mount is the good stuff. I use Waze for my 1hr commute to and from work, and it'll trickle charge enough that the battery drain is minimal.

http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958?th=1&psc=1

I've been using this one lately but swapped out the holder for a CD-slot mount from another car dock. It's the smallest one on the market and works great. :)

https://www.amazon.com/SOJITEK-Wireless-Standard-Charger-Enabled/dp/B01D23M90A/

Previously I had this one which actually had a better one-handed removal mount but just wanted to switch to something a little more compact now that I'm using a CD-slot dock and don't want to cover as much of my vehicle's touchscreen. Both are great options however depending what you want.

https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958/

IMO, GoPro is not a good choice for this. Cell phones are a better choice if you have a way to mount it or prop it up somewhere. A cell phone will capture amazing audio as long as you can get it close. If you can use more than one camera (cell phone if needed) at a time, stitching and editing the video together can be very useful. Put them in airplane mode to avoid accidental upload, pull the video off of them via USB cable, and delete original before turning off airplane mode. I highly recommend the camera and lens I have below, because they are so useful outside of the bedroom for family or activity stuff. Kind of pricey.

I use three devices at the same time: cell phone, video camera, and microphone. Here is a few links from a recent comment:

>Her view is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5 running a Sigma 350963 60mm F2.8 DN mounted to a GFM MK-1 tripod behind the bed.

>His view, seen in the rest of the gifs (NSFW!), is on a microphone stand held in place by bags of rock salt inside custom bags, and the other end is adorned with a GPS bicycle mount, which uses the Gamin ball diameter that I've standardized on for over ten years. On the ball is a iOttie phone dock, and clipped in the mount is a Galaxy S7 International running in pro video mode.

You can see our home (sexy) tapes here (very NSFW), feel free to ask any questions. I use Adobe Premiere to edit them.

I've used this dock before and worked well: https://smile.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Edit: Found their newer version which is magnetic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm9LmmGoZ6M

So what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Wouldn't it be impractical?

I have also been wondering this. Currently on my note 3 I use the Spigen magnetic mount and enjoy not having to fight with a mount.

Now I have my note 8 I'm looking forward to using wireless and I know that the magnetic plate will interfere with the charge process. I came across this iOttie however it doesn't support fast charge and its £65 from amazon which is a lot more than I'd be willing to pay. I discovered they have this model coming soon, I think we are both looking for a similar solution. The only other thing that slightly annoys me is that they both use micro USB rather than type C.

I use Anker IQ 40W/8A 5-Port USB Quick Charger with this charging dock.

Note that this is for my Anker Powerbanks for my TPCast. My banks are Anker PowerCores 20100mAh and they last about 5 hours and take about 8-8.5 hours to fully charge back from dead. I have two batteries that I keep in the charging dock at all times, to ensure I never run out of power.

Anker is your friend.

it's not quite as simple as just pulling the +5 volts and Ground off of the 4 pin molex and connecting it to a micro USB to plug into the Pi.

You'll have to jumper a couple pins on the big 20-pin Motherboard connector in order to get the PSU to power up, etc.

Depending on how much you want to DIY and the budget, it would probably be easier to get one of the multi-USB charger / power supply deals like those from Anker that give you 30-40 Watts across 5+ USB ports on the one supply.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-Multi-Port-Samsung/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1481076935&sr=8-7&keywords=anker+charger

I have one of these on my desk:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VH8ZW02/

Which is quite similar to what you linked to, but a bit less powerful, 40W. (5v8A)

Yours is 60W (5v12A).

At all times, mine is powering a Pi3 running OwnCloud (which is powering a magnetic disk drive off its USB port). I also use it to charge my phone, power several other single board computers, charge batteries, etc. It works perfectly, and would even say that everyone who tinkers should have one of these. Works great!

I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VH8ZW02/

I've had no issues when I've used it to charge.

At the moment I've got two charging cradles (for my extra batteries), LG Urbane charger and a iPad charging dock connected to it. No issues.

I would get some good quality cables if you've not already. I got an Aukey(another good brand) 5 pack from Amazon.

I don't have a pic, but there are several like mine.

3d printed Pi stack

3d printed Anker stack(compatible with above stack)

Tiny switch 5V

Anker USB power brick

Then just a handful of 1ft ethernet cables and 1ft USB cables. You can buy the USB to Barrel power cable for the switch, or if you are comfortable with a soldering iron, make one yourself.

Yes, When I had my EV I would drive under 50 miles almost every day.

Regarding the product i couldn't find a data sheet or specifications on your website.

That said from photos, and comments here, it appears to be a 5kWh external battery pack, able to be charged from a standard wall outlet (using a tiny wall wart), and with an integrated inverter powerful enough to run a factory volt EVSE (I assume something like 15A at 110V?)

Your website shows a slim female carrying the device with one hand, and you advertise the price as USD999. You state on reddit the current charge time from a wall outlet is 6 hours.

There are a few technical issues with the above that you really should look into.

Weight As an example, the chevy bolt battery pack holds 60kWh, and weights 440kg. Your pack is to be 12 times smaller, so weight will be at least 37 kg (prob more as packaging in a smaller pack will be less efficient. A 2kW inverter will be 5 - 8 kg, therefore your minimum weight will be 42 - 45kg's. No way your slim female is carrying that with one hand wearing heels.

Cost A 6.4kWh powerwall runs as USD3000. Your price is under a third of that, and you need to include an inverter & charger that will run to hundreds of dollars...

Wall Wart To charge in 6 hours, you will need to charge at 830Watts. I don't think any wall wart goes that high.

-------------------------------------------------

Take a look at what is already on the market:

0.4kWh, 300W output battery bank for USD390, 12.36 pounds

Anker 0.4kWh, USD500, 9.36 pounds

1.1kWh, 1100W output, USD1,749, 20 pounds

You specs require something about 10 to 12 times the capacity / inverter power as the first two items, and about 5 times the capacity / inverter power of the last one.

As such I would expect you would need to price your device at around USD 6000, and expect it to weigh 100pounds (roughly 50kg).

With those numbers the proposal is a lot less attractive. 50kg's is very hard to move by hand, and $6000 is a lot of money to tie up in a battery bank. (I wouldn't want to leave that unattended as I charged during the day). Also that money would go a long way in terms of just buying a longer range EV in the first place (Price jump from a 30kWh Leaf to a 60kWh Chevy Bolt in the USA is $6000) and that buys you a 6x the additional range of your 5kWh power pack, with convenance to boot... (no charging car and power pack each night (just charge car), no lugging around heavy power pack. no need to change except at night (every second night) for your 40/ 50 mile days)...

Thanks for the review and I really appreciate it.

I have a few suggestions.

Can you add a buy link / amazon link in your posts so people know where they can buy the chargers from?

Also.. Can you review this one too? https://www.amazon.com/PowerIQ-Anker-Charger-PowerPort-included/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468080497&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+usb+c+charger

People say that its as fast as the OEM Nexus 6P Charger

This falls under "best"?

Want a longer battery life? Buy these fairly inexpensive items on Amazon:

USB Charge/Data cable: https://www.amazon.com/Data-Power-USB-Cable-Sony-PSP/dp/B000LEFKXC

Anker portable charger (chosen for form factor, battery size, and sale price): https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-Fast-Charging-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y/ref=zg_bs_7073960011_10

My nearly identical setup used to work amazingly before I gifted my PSP.

I can use my Iris with my iPad (wired), but it's a bit of a pain to transport. I'd rather bring a Let's Split or a Planck with me.

Either way, this is what you need:

• Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter - the cheaper version that doesn't allow you to supply power will not work with the Iris, Planck, or Let's Split (but it probably would with the Minivan, since I don't have to power that with this cable)
  
• A USB cable for your keyboard
  
• A spare lightning cable (preferably something short) - or you can just use your normal cable
  
• A power source - I use this small Anker power brick, but you could use something even smaller, like this one, or even plug directly into the wall.

I quite like my Aukey 30000mAh bank. It can charge over micro USB and USB Type-C simultaneously, and it's a bit beefier than the USB Type-C Anker bank.

That one is 17ah. Not terrible, but if battery capacity is what you want to maximize, this one is almost twice the capacity (30ah) for about the same price.

It's a bit bigger and heavier but I'm a huge fan of my Aukey 30,000 power bank. This thing is a beast, can keep my phone running for easily a week with fairly heavy use. Down side is that it's right over a pound in weight.

I know Aukey doesn't have the customer support that Anker offers, but Aukey offered this with 2 quick charge ports and 1 USB C port which can be hard to find (I think Anker recently released a 20,000 power bank with one)

The XL gets pretty good battery life. I average about 7-8 hours of play and 3 days in standby.
The only extended XL battery I've seen is the Mugen, which is both unnecessarily expensive and bulky. I'd say you're better off buying an USB charging cable and a portable USB battery pack if you really need more play time. I travel around with two PS Portable Chargers. They are small, very light, work very well for my HTC One, 3DS XL and PS Vita.

No worries. Here's the one I use. Works great! Also, side bonus, works for your PS4 controller if you're playing beyond the charging cable's reach.

The item title seems misleading as some users have said it's only 1A, so I wouldn't chance it.

Also, the official vita charger is half off currently:

http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396973159&sr=8-1&keywords=ps+vita+portable+charger

I was considering picking up the Sony one until I found I could get twice the capacity with two ports for 7 bucks more.

Do you know how that charger compares to this one?

I'm curious as to which one would give more battery charge


EDIT: Just answered my own question by Googling. At 10,000mAh, the one you listed has more than double the battery capacity of the charger I listed (5,000 mAh).

For reference, the PS Vita battery is 2,210 mAh, so more than 4X the battery life with the charger you listed!

A portable battery, like this? http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8

I use the Official Battery Pack because it's way smaller than most external battery packs and it fits inside my PS Vita pouch.

What's to troll? This link on Playstation's site has April 1st. Gamestop and OP's Amazon link have a release date of April 30th.

You really think Sony started an elaborate April Fool's Day joke when they announced this product months ago? Sony's not that clever.

Don't forget the portable charger.

I have one but it also doesn't hold much of a charge.

I use a different grip now and have been considering the portable Vita charger.

If battery time is a big enough concern for travel, I'd consider picking up one of these bad boys like I did. I've used it while traveling and I've never run out of battery. It's enough to get the vita up to a full charge.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006JKARP8/ref=pd_aw_fbt_147_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0CSQ729XPQ1FRYP5SBEH

The vita is picky with where its taking power from, It’ll only accept 1.5v! I had a anker power bank that was 2.4 and it wouldn’t accept the charge at all so i purchased the official portable charger battery for the vita and it works just fine. Pretty cheap right now too! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006JKARP8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517772043&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=ps+vita+power+bank&dpPl=1&dpID=41CJmuKxLGL&ref=plSrch

Since everyone else is telling you it isn't possible, I'm just gonna recommend an actual wireless charger. TYLT VU. Looks great on my desk and any time my phone isn't in my hand, it's on the charger. Bonus that the stand is tilted and I can see notifications at a glance. Haven't plugged my N6 in once since I got it. I can confirm the black and red colors look great in person.

Tylt vu is by far my favorite.

I also have ankers charger but it is single coil so it is finicky on placement. It charges as fast as whichever adapter is used. I also us a QC 3.0 charger on that

The anker is faster, both gave fairly low heat input, I have the anker on my desk and the tylt vu at work.

yea nexus charger wont work.

I know of 2 that work for sure that I have bought.

This one

and This one

I got both for about 45 bucks at the time when I bought them. From what I am seeing shooting for a charger wiht 3 coils is your best bet for something that works properly.

One of those in on my desk at work, and the other at home so I use them both daily. Which they also charge my nexus tablet fine as well.


This one looks promising and cheap.I would try it if i didn't already have 2

TYLT Vu Wireless Charger. I love this charger! It's really easy to make sure it's centered on the charging spot.

I have the Samsung back, this charger and this windshield mount for my car. It's convenient, but I find that my phone overheats a lot. I oscillate back and forth on whether to keep the back on the phone or not. I also find that it makes it impossible to use some of the battery packs like the mophie case.

Ah ok thanks.

The one i have started looking at is this one and it says this in the description.

"Multi-USB ports - There are 3 USB ports avaiable (2.4A for iPad, 2A for Samsung phones, 1A for iPhone), it enables you to charge 3 devices simultaneously."

What does that mean?

Does it mean i can only use a certain port for my phone? And if not what does the Different amps mean?

I just bought this - EC Technology 2nd Gen Deluxe 22400mAh 3 USB Output External Battery With LED Flashlight For Sm

£20 for 24000+ mah plus 3 ports with 1 quick charge port...will charge a phone average 8 times I would say

I have this one and it lasted me the entire 5 days.

Do you mean a portable battery pack so that you can power your RPi without it being plugged into a mains? I have this one as I has a 2.1A output which is the same as the mains adapter power source and use my OnePlus One USB cable to power it. (You may need a decent USB cable to carry the current but not sure)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00F5Q4F0U/ref=noref?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics

When I'm out and about and going to be away from a charger for a while, I try to have one of these on me. It's the difference between being stressed about running out of juice, and really not caring what I do with my phone. Yes, it's not as nice as a bigger internal battery would be, but for the price (£36 when I bought it) it's a decent compromise.

This cost me €16 about a month ago, they had an offer with some voucher.

I use it run a rPI and some speakers.

Article says a couple of amps per board. You are going to need a big power supply.

Something like this might work.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F5Q4F0U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its quite a hefty size, bigger than it looks in image, but it should give you hours of usage.

Get a real car charger. This is not an engineering problem.

https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Charge-Samsung-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B00LJT2EPK

i have that set up. if nothing is plugged into the 12v adapter it doesn't draw power. 2 years so far without any battery related issues.

I use a regular 12v socket instead of the USB because i use a quickcharge charger with my phone because gps and screen on full brightness + data really drains the battery and normal chargers can't keep up.

I've had this for almost a year now. It works great and doesn't take up much space

2.1a is the universal fast charger you'll see around. Doesn't rely on any fancy standards or anything. Quick Charge 2/3 and Samsung Fast Charge are standards developed that some phone support. It increases voltage to allow an even faster charge, with better efficiency. Personally I think they're quite invaluable, but again require both phone and charger to support it. This is an example from a company I use. The green is a standard 2.4A port, the Orange is a Quick Charge 2 port. I don't know which country you're in, but that's an example, you may be able to find cheaper and more local.

I have both of these. One in each car. They work great with my S7 Edge.

By far the spigen one is the best and sits on my night stand. Chargers 35-40% in 1hr.

Only one I can really think of that's wireless is

Where would you like the mount? Suction cupped to the windshield? Clipped in the vent? Adhered to the dashboard? I personally like phone mounts that adhere to the dashboard. Is your dashboard hard plastic or is it soft vinyl? If it is vinyl, you would need a vent or windshield mount.

I used the old version of this mount for many years. It didn't have wireless charging at the time. It was a solid, robust mount. It didn't feel cheap and flimsy like most mounts. I recommend it.

You can't use both - you either use that metal plate on the back OR the wireless charging. Metal completely blocks the electromagnetic field that current version of wireless charging uses.

If you really want to use the phone mounted somewhere on dashboard (which I personally never do) - you can try something like this instead of magnetic mounts:
https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Or, like you said, just give up on wireless charging altogether.

This is what I use, and it works great.

https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Only caveats are if it's hot outside the phone can get SUPER hot. Generally I don't have any issues, but on 80*F+ days I usually unplug the charger.

Also, I don't expect the wireless charging to charge fast, so when I actually need fast charging I just move the cable from the dock to the phone.

These are issues with any wireless chargers, not just the iOttie.

Like the other commenter, I only have a Commuter case. This case is flawless. I bet it could fit a Defender.

It's a little expensive, but I got this one, just watch out using the provided extra "pad", it's glue and will stay on permanently, I use just the suction cup and it only falls off once or twice a year when the temperature is over 90F.

I have this and am reasonably happy with it:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958

It isn't magnetic, but it is quick and easy to insert and remove. To put the phone, you simply push it against the back and the jaws snap shut. To remove it, you press on the right and left side bars sticking out, and that pushes the jaws open, which then lock.

With music playing via bluetooth and the screen on displaying Google Maps for navigation, charging is kind of a break-even thing. During the day, when auto-brightness is cranking the screen up, I slowly lose charge (like 1% per hour). At night, when the screen dims and Maps goes into night mode, I gain a few percent per hour.

Occasionally, when I leave my car in direct sun for long periods of time, I come back to find the suction has released and have to re-attach it, but this isn't a big deal.

It looks like the price has gone up. I paid $36 for it in August 2016.

Yep, I bought one for the wife's van and liked it so much I decided to buy one for my car. We both have the S6. Her's with a case and mine naked and the wireless charger works perfectly on both phones!

Also here is my wireless car dock
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

I use this qi charger in my car with the N6. It's more than sufficient to keep the phone running maps and music/podcasts without losing charge. Admittedly, if I get into the car with low battery it won't pick up much charge if I'm using it. It'll charge if I turn the screen off, so at least there's that.

For convenience factor, though, I love it. Just press the phone into the dock and it's charging and right in my eyeline while driving. When ready to get out just squeeze the release and it pops into my hand.

I had this for my GS6 (it includes wireless charging which obviously I no longer use) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The one click in and easy out is the most wonderful thing. Highly reccommend any of their mounts. Definitely worth the price.

Edit: Don't waste your money on this one since you don't need the wireless charging, but go with the brand

Not OP, but this is the one I use in my car for my Nexus 6. Only problem with it was I had to use the micro USB to cigarette lighter cable that came with it and it's a little short. I bought one of these to make up the difference.

I would suggest a multi-USB charger, such as this. However, your suggestion can charge things that don't use USB.

What power supply are you using for the PI's. I keep getting low voltage dropouts on mine.

> USB power receptacles

I've installed a few of these, and in my opinion they just aren't worth the extra cost. Since he's building the house mostly to his own desire, I'd say just plan on having outlets in areas where devices will need to be charged and use something like an Anker in areas where multiple devices or guests will need.

Hey, kind of off-topic, but what are you planning to use for USB? If you’re going to pack a mess of chargers, consider getting this bad boy along with a cord that matches.

I used it on my last vacation. Set it up in the middle of the apartment we rented, and everybody plugged in their cell phones, vapes, etc. 2.4A per port, I highly recommend it.

The ipad chargers work great, just make sure to get a high quality micro-usb cable to hook up to it.

Otherwise the anker usb wall chargers have been perfect for me, and allow me to charge all of my devices at once, with a single charger: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Charging-Multi-Port-Charger/dp/B00VH8ZW02

I've been intrigued by the goal zero generators for a while, but then I found this. Seems to be significantly more powerful for the same price, still has solar inputs. I do lots of car camping and am really considering something like this eventually.

Someone above posted about the goal zero, its a great product! for the budget savy person, i went with a cheaper route that i keep in my van that keeps me running smoothly on my weekend shoots granted i shoot motorsports, but it keep my laptop charged, battery packs, audio equipment, phone and gimbals all charged up. its the Anker powerhouse, decent price and its on sale, lightweight enough to take with me if needed, and its dead quiet check it out. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM

I just got a Anker Powerhouse (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493417945&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+powerhouse). It is expensive but good for all sorts of emergency power. I can run a full night with the humidifier on, or multiple nights without. I was considering the deep cycle marine battery and all in the DYI ideas, but chose something more expensive, but more flexible.

Apparently you can charge it with a 120 w solar panel (16-17 volt, 8 Amp). See the questions at: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Powerhouse-120000mAh-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM

This is not the cheapest option, just the best known one.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0196GQAKM/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I24XAD72I4220&colid=1TMGWJRFITCSB

Seems really damn solid and reliable. However, I haven't used it before. Expensive too. About 15 laptop charges, might be overkill for you if it's only for the weekend.

This is one of the larger sizes that Anker makes.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196GQAKM

Try this on amazon. I got a charge of 65% in 65 minutes with occasional screen on’s

Here's a USB C QC 3.0 charger w/ a 3ft cord that will work just fine.

Reposting because my self post was removed...

Wall of text incoming...

After spending a good portion of my weekend researching USB-C PD, Quickcharge, the effects of cable gauge on amperage, etc., I think I finally understand USB charging over USB A and USB C via both PD and QuickCharge.

Before my current HTC 10, which is a Quick Charge 3.0 device, I had a Pixel and, prior to that, a Nexus 5X. So my entire experience with USB C charging was via USB Power Delivery, which worked very well. USB C AC adapters and USB C-C cables always quick charged my devices, presumably at 15w(3a/5v). Whenever I used a different charger, usually a USB-A brick with an A-C cable, they charged around 10w(2a/5v) or 5w (1a/5v); i.e. normal USB charging speeds.

Quick Charge 3.0 over USB-C has thrown a bit of a wrench into that. From what I can tell, QC 3.0 tops out at 19.5w, but supports a range of voltages at 1.5a, 2a, and 3a to maximize charging speed and efficiency. QC3 is connector agnostic and should work over over USB A, C, and micro. QC3.0 over USB-C is not strictly within USB-C spec, but as long as it is implemented safely, does not seem to cause any issues.

However, what's really throwing me for a loop is this Anker product here and article #1 and article #2.

First, the Anker charger is a USB-C charger that simultaneously claims to be QC3.0 certified AND claims to deliver full charging speeds to the Nexus USB-C PD devices and warns that it will not quick charge the HTC 10 and LG G5, which are both QC3.0 devices. According to EVERYTHING I've stated and read, this should not be possible.

Also, the first article says that the HTC 10 is capable of charging via a standard USB C-C connection at 10w(2a/5v). Is this newsworthy? Is this truly USB-C Power Delivery? I was under the impression that PD defined power profiles from 3a-5a, up to 100watts. As far as I can tell, any device, power delivery or not, should be able to pull 2a if supported by the device and cable.

Finally, the second article states that the HTC 10 does pull 15w(3a/5v) over USB PD, but doesn't do so "well." Is this then proof that the HTC 10 does in fact fully support USB PD over proper chargers?

Any information that can help me sort all this out would be greatly appreciated. That said, I've purchased a USB-C amperage meter, have 3 different USB A-C cables, a mix of USB-A power adapters and plan to purchase some USB-C cables and chargers to test as well (sold my previous ones with my Nexus and Pixel devices.)

Anker, always Anker

Anker Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C 24W USB Wall Charger, PowerPort+ 1 for Galaxy C9 Pro, Nexus, Moto and More
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJ90J6O/

Type-C to Type-C cords ftw, I'm actually not sure on this. I don't know how anker made a type c brick with quick charge 3.0.

I can't speak on how it will hold up in the long-term, or if it will degrade the battery life of my phone more quickly, but it charges at much higher throughput for its weight than for any of the 20ish chargers I tested, with the exception of the Moto TurboPower 30Watt, which charged my Motorola TurboPower Pack @ 28 Watts from 0% to about 30% before dropping down to 15Watts until 80%, and then trickle charged. I measured power usage using a "Kill A Watt" device and far too much time.

The Anker Devices I tested seemed to only deliver at around 6-8 Watts of charging throughput for my phone. Given that I'm using a Motorola, it uses a "TurboCharger" spec and doesn't use the QC3.0 spec, so I'm not sure if the Anker Devices avoided charging at higher power rating because they are true to QC3.0 communication protocol, or because of some other reason.

The other charger that I found to work quite well for the weight was this one. I can't find my notes, but think it was around 0.9 oz to 1.2 oz. Because I wanted my charger to charge both the battery and the phone simultaneously, and didn't want to rely on two outlets, I went for the Lyilin charger.

I'm super happy with my phone + charger setup right now (Moto Z Play w/ Moto TurboPower Pack), which loses around 10% per day in airplane mode with pretty frequent topographic map checking (turning the phone off at night fucks this up unless you decouple the battery). The Moto PowerPack effectively brings the battery capacity to 180%, and when simultaneously charging the PowerPack and the phone, I can get to 80% on the phone and 80% on the battery in about 30 minutes. So, I'm pretty sure I can get about 10-12 days of more-than just navigation phone use out of this setup while backpacking before charging, which can be done in less than the amount of time it takes me to resupply. This means I get a very solid kindle device or music device out of my phone if I so choose.

The other reason I settled on my phone + battery combo is that I wear pants, so I just drop my phone in my side pocket for easy access for navigation, photos, etc. As a worn item, I never need to feel the weight from an external battery.

There's a bit of confusion right now over charging specs and speeds and some other things. Not sure if anyone has compiled a list of proper chargers for the P2/P2XL yet (correct me if I'm wrong!).

However from experience, the two most reliable brands are Aukey and Anker. I have an Anker charger sitting on my desk right now. I bought it for my Nexus 6P and use it for my P2XL now.

This is the one I bought:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CJ90J6O/

Can’t find the one I have but it’s like this one. You do need a USB C to lightning cable from apple though.

I would really suggest getting anker power banks off amazon. They have better quality cells in them and they stand by their 18 month warranty.

Phone detects the power bank the same way it does any other charger so yes you can keep your phone charging and play.

I have this one for heavy use when my gf and I grind out several heavy 6+ hr sessions that stays in the zip up pocket of my mochi bag.

Though this is overkill and could last a week of heavy use. Maybe you want something a little smaller and lighter then I would recommend..

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CU1EC6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_P53Jxb6TFGJ6X


Beyond this the smaller options will only give you a charge or two max and for what you are doing I wouldn't recommend anything smaller.

make sure you bring a charging stick!

something like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CU1EC6Y?psc=1

Yes, on your "just a thought". It strikes me as pretty whacky that a guy who says he's happy with his smart phone except for battery life gets all these recommendations for cameras that are geared towards making better pictures and which generally are also geared towards people who enjoy spending more time thinking about photography and taking pictures.

Seems to me the Anker smart phone battery charger is potentially a much better solution, and at the very least a dirt-cheap option to try before spending a lot of cash on a much more expensive and much-heavier camera. With that idea in mind, I'd suggest that even the 10000 mAh model may be overkill, I would look at something like Ankers 5000 Powercore model ( https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-Fast-Charging-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y ) or even one of the 3300's.

I'd suggest using a 5000mah battery (which is about that same shape/size) instead of the roll of coins there.. this one - https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=anker+5000mah&qid=1563812060&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

If you can't carry something the size of this because of your skinny jeans, maybe you should try some new jeans.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
A portable charger will always be better because when you change phones, you don't have to buy a new replaceable battery to go with your new phone.

Yes. I it works best if you keep GO charged above 65%. It will eventually top it off up to 100% then drain from there https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-Compact-High-Speed-Technology/dp/B01CU1EC6Y/ref=dp_ob_title_wld

Heat loss. When you transfer energy some of it becomes heat. Since your going battery to battery some will be lost at the point of the garmin and some will be lost from the pack.

At home this doesn't matter because your have infinite power from the grid at least in relationship to the 300mAh of the battery in the watch.

The other thing you want to make sure of is the amount of Amps it can transfer at. You want 2A or above

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CU1EC6Y?ref=emc_b_5_t

Something like this is small , its about the size of a lipstick and its 5,000mAh which is likely over kill for what you need. Even if between heat loss and the battery in the garmin its 1,000mAh a charge this would provide 5 .

Therei s also this guy here if you want something flatter
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P7N0320/ref=psdc_7073960011_t2_B01CU1EC6Y

Sadly these are the smallest they come in from what I can find. For something like your watch if you only needed 1 or 2 charges it be nice if there was a 2,000mAh battery as it would be much smaller but the majority of this stuff is aimed at cell phones and then tablets so you can get stuff that can charge a phone at least once all the way up to huge 50,000mAh ones that can charge tablets multiple times

For apps, def get the strava app. It will keep track of all of your rides/segments and you can follow your friends. Once you start using it, you won't stop! However, if you use your phone as your gps/computer make sure to buy a small anker charger from amazon with a cable to recharge your phone when it dies out there. Have fun my dude!

I have a 10,000 mah pack and it only charges a spark battery 1 time. And takes hours. The Spark supports the Quickcharge 3.0, so getting a power bank with that will reduce charge times. Like this one:

I'm talking about the non pd one that I posted the link for earlier. I'm realizing now that in context my comment is below the PD link someone else posted. My comments pertain to this one:

Let's try this

I have AUKEY 30000mAh USB-C Portable Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank, 3 USB Outputs Battery Pack for Nintendo Switch, iPhone Xs/XS Max / 8 / Plus and More and it works well. But it's pretty hefty.

If you're going to spend that much on a charger you may as well buy an Anker with more ports.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G

Samsung sell this for 7 USD.

Else, pick up an Anker charger & cable, they're a trusted and reliable brand. They even sell multi-port chargers, so you can charge more than one device at a time.

This has two quick-charge ports.
 
This has two quick charge ports, and then 3 additional USB ports.

Op I recommend you buy this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=emc_b_5_mob_t and use the supplied cables to charge the controllers usually charges fully from dead in about an hour or so

If you need two ports:

If you only need one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=twister_B01HECNYW2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have the 1-port charger and love it. Like u/TheRipePunani (lol) said, anything Anker or Aukey and you can't go wrong.

I hate to break it to you, but Anker's USB-C charger does not fast-charge the iPad Pro. Here's the response I got from Anker when I asked them about it.

'Glad to hear that you are interested in Anker products. Since the OEM charger of 12.9' iPad Pro uses Apple's Power Delivery technology with an input of 14.5V/2A, sorry to tell you that we have no charger which can charge as quickly as its OEM charger. However, our PowerPort Speed 2 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUSYF8G) can take 4:57:26 to fully charge 12.9' iPad Pro.'

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUSYF8G

I use this, charges both of them at the same with with fast charging.

if you buy one with at least 2 coils its not much of an issue, however those were sparse during note 5 days or at least were premium priced. Now there are all kinds of good cheapos.

I bought this one and it works fine

But I will say wireless charging is pretty darn slow if you don't have quick charge enabled, But QC 2.0 on my S7e was pretty nice with this charger and kept a good charging pace.

Hello, you may want to talk a look at this one from Seneo. Look at the reviews and decide if it’s suitable for your usage.

I use this one. It's convenient because it's not a mat the phone will slide off of so I've never had that problem. Plus it faces you conveniently.

Refund and get this sexy one.

I have several of these, my husband has 2 of them, and like 5 of my friends have purchased the exact same one on my recommendation. Have been using them nonstop since the X came out. Perfect angle for FaceID. I have them on my desks at home and work, and on my nightstand. Cheap and work perfectly.

I've had good luck with this one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0IL0QX

Using the quick charger made it warm/hot and didn't ever cool down even after 100%... once I switched to a normal ~2 amp charger it charges fine overnight and everything stays nice and cool.

Currently my favorite

I am still working on what car charger can work with the xz2 with case.

I am using a Coosa 72W USB-C charger with my T480s. This model ("PDS75-4UTO1") is sold under different brandings for around €30-€40, e.g. this Nekteck charger on US Amazon. It can charge at 20V and 2A, i.e. 40W.

I also bought a RAVPower 26800mAh Powerbank which can charge the laptop at 15V/2A, i.e. 30W without any problems.

The /r/UsbCHardware moderator team is at your service providing information on all USB C hardware, even in other subreddits. In other words, you can run but you can't hide :D

Anker, as mentioned, is a great choice, it's one of the trio we always recommend especially for cables (AmazonBasics-Monoprice-Anker), however to give you better advice, I'd need to know what wattage do you need from the PD port. If you only want to charge Pixel, may I recommend the Xiaomi Mi 60W Fast+QC+PD usb charger CDQ06ZM? Here's a test from a highly reputable test site. If you search aliexpress (or just google 32857580730) you can find it for just 25 USD which is a great price for this many ports on a quality charger. I won't link to avoid spamming.

Should you need to charge a laptop, https://smile.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ has only three USB A ports (but you said you only needed three) and these three USB A ports are sharing 2.4A (the previous one had four sharing 4.8A plus a fifth completely standalone) however the USB C port is 60W, the charger is UL and USB IF certified and still < 30 USD.

Awesome - thanks so much for your help + the follow up!
Great photo reference :)
Yeah heading to Tokyo, so on a long flight + trains throughout the trip - but trying to keep things light / somewhat minimal, thus leaning the QB820 for flexability + usb hub etc... but it is a close call! As I wont be using the power bank the full flight time - (10ish hrs) I think the 20,000 should do the job + will be able to recharge it at the hotel on arrival etc...
On the topic of recharging, I prefer black / darker stylings - do you have any black/dark wall AC usb PD chargers that would work well with the QB820 ?

Also - would this adapters USB C power outlet work to fast charge back up the QB820 ?




https://www.amazon.com/Lightbeam-Worldwide-Universal-International-Countries/dp/B07CZXC2QQ/

( Bit confused on what specs I need a wall AC / charger to have to enable fast re-charging of the power banks)

thanks again for the help / info!

EDIT: Or would this be better for travel + recharging the powerbank via usb C ?

https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/

If it's the xps 9370 just buy a 45w USB if certified charger from amazon. Like this
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_S5gLBbQ9DFQ9K

Or
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QX6H8S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_G6gLBbTF4GN50

Why not use a multi-port charger so that you can charge your phone and tablet without having to go through the Chromebook?
Something like https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ

Zimi makes a 45-watt USB PD enabled laptop charging power bank that works well with Spectre x360. The laptop can be charged at up to 45 watts on the 15V/3A PD profile. It has a small form factor for a 20000 mAh battery with its size: 6.31 × 3.22 × 0.83 inches.

Check it out!
https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Portable/dp/B072BD98CM

Cool for those who don’t have a switch yet, but others who don’t want to “upgrade”, just snag a external battery

This thing can charge my Switch 3-4 times

Yeah

https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Powerbank/dp/B072BD98CM

you mean this one? https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Portable/dp/B072BD98CM

This battery bank I got recently is cool because it can also charge laptops and power the Switch dock (if you'd ever want to do that for some reason).

For a case, I have a rebranded version of this case that I've only ever heard good things about. It's pretty great... they also made a larger version apparently that can hold the AC adapter.

Edit: There is a matching AC adapter for the battery bank that's good for travel. I use it to charge the Switch and power my Nintendo dock that I moved to smaller plastics for travel and bringing to friend's houses.

This is what I use with my Pixelbook + other devices, it works really well: https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Powerbank/dp/B072BD98CM

ZMI QB820 seems to be USB C as well as PD.

Amazon and GearBest

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B072BD98CM/

The charger doesn't support power delivery, the USB C standard. What you need is one of these:

USB C Wall Charger, Anker Premium 60W 5-Port Desktop Charger with One 30W Power Delivery Port
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YWZ9BbNVB86DZ


You will need a USB C to C cable as well.

Your charger influences the speed the battery pack charges, as can the USB cable type.

Different chargers have different amperage output, and many travel chargers are a lower amp output.

The battery packs will handle charging from a higher amp charger.

I’ve fallen in love with my Anker Powerport PD (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Charger-PowerPort-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF)

It has four Power IQ ports offering 2.4 amp output, and one Power Delivery port, which is the Apple version of a rapid charge for high cap batteries over usb-c

It’s also hefty enough to handle charging all those devices at the same time, at maximum power.

Some of the Anker Products offer Qualcomm’s rapid charge that is used on some android products, some offer the Apple Power Delivery.

If it only lists PowerIQ, that’s just their own “smart” charge tech. It’s a 2.4 amp output charge, and is similar/compatible with Samsung’s rapid charger tech, and will have a noticeable improvement over most travel charger/wall ports.

AUKEY USB C Charger with 56.5W... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074C2VZ2T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This Aukey charger should do the trick. Both A and C ports, 46W power delivery, plugs into the wall, and smaller than the anker version. Haven't tested myself though, was holding out for something in between the aukey and anker version in terms of ports/size LOL

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Delivery-MacBook-Samsung/dp/B074C2VZ2T

I don't have it myself, but this looks like a good solution https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Delivery-MacBook-Samsung/dp/B074C2VZ2T?pd_rd_wg=loNzG&pd_rd_r=a006ce88-8cfe-4315-9d7e-54bc6db55c51&pd_rd_w=NrcUY&ref_=pd_gw_cartx&pf_rd_r=PB2N3P26KF6RQDN33BSV&pf_rd_p=6b27b606-ba71-500d-b5f8-3510f86504b4

It sounds like you have not actually ordered yet, so here's a suggestion for Bluetooth earbuds:

Anker Soundbuds Slim are very similar to the ones you are looking at, but they support aptX HD (So they will sound better and have lower latency) and are cheaper. I have the Soundbuds Curve which feature a slightly different design. They are super comfortable and sound great, so I expect the Slims will work just as well. Lots of people recommend both styles in any thread asking for Bluetooth suggestions.


I really like this wall charger. Bluetooth headphones that charge via USB-C are basically non-existent, so this lets me charge the accessories while also charging my phone at full speed.

The Whitestone Dome is good, but they have awful customer service if you have any issues. Especially since you are going through a forwarder, taking weeks to get a resolution if you have an issue might be a deal breaker for you.

AUKEY USB C Charger with 56.5W Wall Charger, One 46W Power Delivery 3.0 & 5V / 2.1A Ports USB Wall Charger, Compatible MacBook, iPhone 11/11 Pro/Max/XS, Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ / Note8 and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074C2VZ2T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_CcyHDbWN5VEQD

I have a 46W PD charger from Aukey I bought on Amazon

I bought this one since it has USB C and an extra USB A port (which I can use for my phone). 46 Watts on the USB C port too.

I just didn't like how the 60W one has to be plugged into the wall with a cable rather than mounted right on the outlet. But for that sale price it might be worth it to grab one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C2VZ2T/

https://www.amazon.com/Nekteck-Certified-Charger-delivery-Macbook/dp/B0719KV9PH/

You have to decide what is more cost/time efficient for you between buying a new charger like one of the above or exchanging your c302.

I use this one.

AUKEY USB C Charger with 56.5W... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074C2VZ2T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Your case looks pretty tight. I'm not sure if it will fit, but consider the AUKEY USB C Charger with 46W USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 & 5V/2.1A Ports (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074C2VZ2T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dtoPAbAY89VQT). It has both port types and the C port will deliver enough power to run the dock/charge a laptop.

I grabbed a 46w (56.5 total with additional 2.1A USB A port) Aukey on amazon for $35 and have it in my hand already

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C2VZ2T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have this laptop and yes it does support USB C charging. I use this one however, you want portable charging. The first one seems to be possible. All you need is to assure your charging method is of 45 watts and supports power delivery.

You can use.a QC 2.0 or 3.0 walls adapter as well as a power delivery USB-C charger if it’s USB -C.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077HFFLMS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EVwzDbBKHJ2XK

This is compatible with 10 W wireless chargers and is also by Anker.

I believe any quick charge 3, 18w will work. I.e. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Compatible-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B077HFFLMS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=anker+quick+charge+3.0&qid=1565813784&s=gateway&sprefix=anker+qui&sr=8-3

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Compatible-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B077HFFLMS/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=fast+charger+anker&qid=1558119874&s=gateway&sr=8-5, https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Powerline-Samsung-MacBook-Nintendo/dp/B072152BWQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=anker+usb+c+cable&qid=1558119928&s=gateway&sr=8-6

Absolutely. Anker make's a good one for $10. Your case needs to be less than 5mm thick and can't be metal. Also, no pop-socket or things like that. You can't use the normal Apple charging brick though, it needs to be one like this (offbrand, 3-pack) or this (Anker brand, single).

Really? Mine chargers around 4 - 4 1/2 hours. You may want to get that charger checked. Also use one of these to charge external batteries. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077HFFLMS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That is what I use. 24 hours is WAY too long the max on a standard 2A charger for this should take no more than 8 hours.

​

Edit sorry meant to say 4 - 4 1/2 hours

I bought this one, it works great, it can even run the wireless adapter/HMD directly if you're doing something seated that doesn't need to turn (like watching a movie or playing Elite Dangerous).

I got this:

Seems to work fine.

i ordered these from anker, im probably going to order a screen protector now, which did you buy?

This is what I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_LMyyDbVX6Q3S2

Along with the Anker, I can vouch for the Aukey PD chargers too.

Aukey 10000 mAH Charger

first i got this:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCJUM6K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

which lasted a while till i accidentally got it drenched riding a fourwheeler and it died.

so i replaced it with this:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i prefer the new one cause it has 2 full size usb out spots, so i can keep a usb-c in one for my phone, and then i have one of these:

https://smile.amazon.com/Charging-Chafon-Charge-Connectors-Charging-2/dp/B01DK13VZ6/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1542288733&sr=1-3&keywords=usb%2Bc%2Bmicro%2Bmini%2Blightning&th=1

in the other side for charging misc things until the rest of the tech world gets their act together with the usb c standard.

This is a great little and inexpensive battery with power delivery.

Double reply so you get a notification about this.

Using an old car charger (2.4A) with a proper USB-A -> USB-C 3.0 cable (this one https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6F3WHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) charged my phone from 60% to 100% in roughly 1 hour. The phone never said "charging rapidly" either, so you're not getting Power Delivery with that. I am buying a proper USB-C car charger later this week, I can DM you with an update on that.

Edit: Adding this as well in case someone else is looking for this info, but this what I dm'd OP:

Alright so I bought this cable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6G0CTQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this car charger https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079MWXSS8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They both work great, fast charging and everything.

For what it's worth, this is also a good power bank: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My current setup, similar to what it sounds like you're looking for, all-in for under $35

Edit: formatting, wording

I’m a huge Anker fan, they have really well made products at amazing prices.

I’m using 2 of these, one on my desk and one in the living room. I love how they’re vertical; I have it positioned on my desk in a way that unlocks my face without me having to grab the phone, so I can tap my phone and quickly read my notifications when it unlocks using my face, and only lift it if i need to respond

For my bedside table, I have this one, which is a lot cheaper but slower charge. It’s okay though because I put it there before bed when going to sleep and don’t need a fast charge or anything.

But one of each is really all you want and you’ll have a great set up, and its still cheaper than buying a single Samsung or Belkin wireless charger

Someone here suggested an anker one to me. I bought one that was actually the previous version, and I love it.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBXZZN3/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_xaC6Cb1XYJ6H3

You'll have to provide your own wall adapter and charging speeds may vary depending on which you get, but if you're like me, charging at your desk is just for top offs anyway so speed doesn't really matter as I'll be at 100% most of the day.

Get two of these. You would need a usbc to lightning cable to use the mini, but not with the pro. Also these are 30w so they’ll charge both devices fast. Bonus if you have iPhone 8’s or newer, as those could benefit from the fast charging as well.

Anker Atom. Uses GaN instead of silicon so it can deliver 30W in the rough size of the iPhone’s 5W brick.

There are some chargers that are really small and light, completely worth it if you carry your charger around a lot.
Like for example this:

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07DFGKFM3/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07DFGKFM3&pd_rd_w=A92K2&pf_rd_p=4b7c8c1c-293f-4b1e-a49a-8787dff31bcb&pd_rd_wg=nV57x&pf_rd_r=2AP65MAFAT3G1YJF2NCD&pd_rd_r=b2e879f1-c748-4b2c-b1f9-c61144951085&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzRUFZTTRLTUFCQThVJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTgxMDQ0MlNaSVc3N0FCMEM0TCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDEzNzUyM0pMVkI2U1JHNThMJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==


Don't buy cheap, buy good. The difference in price is minimal but the benefits of a good and light charger are well worth it. And you can never have too many chargers.

Far from ideal... consider PowerPort Atom PD 1 with a USB-C to Lightning Cable.

Adding on, do you need two usb ports/type-a?

https://smile.amazon.com/AK-A2017121-27W-PD-1-Port/dp/B07DFGKFM3/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=gan+18w&qid=1565216004&s=wireless&sr=1-1

this is still 30w charger but only 1 port. 2oz vs 4.6

I was actually thinking the same thing, but for those who don't need to charge up a smaller laptop, this lil brickwill do the trick too. On that note it is also a great choice for those looking to match that "Apple Aesthetic."

I’d recommend the newer version of what /u/Duglitt recommended.

Anker Atom PD

I'm pretty happy with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DFGKFM3/ and picked up this cable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WNXY1R/ to go with it. Fast charges my Samsung Chromebook Plus (v2) and also my Note 8. If your CB is 30 watt or below, it should do a fine job. It's pretty small, doesn't take much room in a bag even though the prongs don't fold. I would guess that any PD charger that supplies at least what your old one did will work fine as well.

I have a 13" 2017 MBP, and wanted a combo charger for travel that would charge both my MBP and my iPhone. I went with this one that outputs 30W on the USB-C port for the MBP.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCFCRX6

I've been using it for a few days and it works amazingly well. Even when I'm doing all of my normal work stuff with tons of Office apps open, web meetings going on, etc. it still provides enough juice to top-up the battery.

It's no smaller than the Apple 61W charger, but packs more functionality. Anker has a single port 30W charger that would be significantly smaller than the Apple 61W - it's tiny.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DFGKFM3'

I'll probably pick one up once it's finally in stock in the coming weeks.

The moral of the story is don't overlook the 30W chargers, they work just fine for a 13" MBP unless you're doing stuff like gaming or video editing for long stretches of time.

I looked into the Ravpower GaN charger and saw some reviews that it can be a problem with some outlets while traveling. It's thin but really wide, so if your hotel/airplane/work outlet is in a tight spot you may not be able to plug it in.

It's very small and leave the one it came with at home to use there at my desk

I recently graduated law school and built a home office setup for around $600 (my law firm has a good work from home policy). Details below:

​

Desk - DlandHome L-Shaped Desk - $130

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0798JW7FD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The L-shaped desk contains plenty of space for my dual monitor setup and has plenty of extra space on the sides. It was very easy to assemble (unlike some IKEA desks) and ships in a manageable flat box. I keep it in the corner of my room and it is very sturdy and doesn't shake.

​

Chair - AmazonBasics Office Chair -$50

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D7P5BFS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cheap and comfortable.

​

Monitors - 2x HP 23.8 in Monitors - 2x $110

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072M34RQC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These can rotate both horizontally and vertically, which makes them perfect for work. Also VESA compatible. The quality of these are pretty good, but I only use them for word processing and web browsing. Not sure how good they are for movies or gaming.

​

Laptop Dock - Dell Universal Dock - $130

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071YTQBXM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Compatible with any laptop with a USB-C port. It charges the laptop as well while plugged in. It works with my work laptop without installing any additional drivers. Supports 2x DP and 1x HDMI. You might need to buy additional DisplayPort to HDMI cables depending on the monitors you use.

​

Accessories

Logitech K840 Mechanical Keyboard - $60

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071VHYZ62/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Anker Wireless Charger - $15

If anyone requests, I can upload a picture when I get home tonight. Also feel free to ask any questions.

I strongly recommend 30w Aukey usb-c charger as a travel companion. It is true that it is slightly underpowered (compared to 45w) but it is ridiculously compact(size of a lighter) and lightweight(50g).

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Delivery-Ultra-Slim-Compatible-More-Black/dp/B07LBG1C3Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=aukey+usb-c+charger&qid=1558882956&s=gateway&sprefix=aukey+usb-c+cha&sr=8-9

It is rated 30w max but you gonna get 27w as XPS supports 9V x 3A and not 15v x 2A.

Seems like Anker has a model even more compact, but I haven't tested its compatibility with xps13

I've got a Tudia Merge, but it does NOT work with wireless charging. Here's what I own:

Merge: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K73P7NX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Anker Wireless Charger: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DBXZZN3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Choetech Wireless Car Charger: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HQDHV49/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Anker works fine when I remove the case. So does the Choetech, but it has to grip the phone at a weird height to start charging. That makes both of them pretty much useless to me.

I like the Tudia case. I'll take protection over wireless charging any day. But those chargers above don't work with it, at all.

There was a $3 coupon (atleast on my account) making this ~15 (after tax).

Works pretty well

I have these two and I love them. I have one at home and one at work. Both were under $20.00 each.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBXZZN3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bICWCbDC2K73B

Is this the one you use?

Just FYI, I got this Anker wireless charger but just know that it only charges at 5W, not 10W. Apparently the wireless charger needs to be EPP certified to be able to charge at 10W on the Pixel 4.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBXZZN3/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_lAGSDb8T9Q7W2

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Qi-Certified-Compatible-Fast-Charging-PowerWave/dp/B07DBXZZN3/ works well for me. I just plug it in my computer and it charges fine. But faster charging should work using a quick charger. Phone charges in both portrait and landscape orientations which is handy.

Maybe pick up one of these external batteries. They're supposed to be pretty good. I have a nyko grip and that does enough for me.

I'd rather drop $25 on a battery than dim the screen. Personal preference.

Mine was a day one purchase and I'm only starting to look at replacing the battery now. The process seems easy but first you need to find a new battery and that's not so easy... well, we'll see.

I travel quite intensively and my flights are usually between 4 to 10 hours.
I don't have any issue with the vita's battery as it is as I don't use BT and always put the plane mode when needed and of course make sure that when that I have less than 50% left, I charge it.

Also, if I may suggest, buy this. It's really neat. It can give you two more charges and it's small enough to fit in a travel bag / backpack.

I would say go for the first gen and enjoy. I don't plan to upgrade to the 2000 simply because I like my Vita as it is. We'll see for the next model which will be released in 18 months :)

In your opinion which of the two is better? I'm on the fence about this. If I get the battery packs everyone is referring to, battery doesn't factor in as much. I'm sure I will gripe about it when flying to India but that's another issue.

How did you feel with the difference in screen quality? Did you feel there was enough positive change to justify getting the slim PSVita?

*edit added question and corrected spelling.

Here: http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8

this is the official playstation portable charger.

$70 is kinda expensive.If it had battery extension and thumbstick extension for that price it would be ok.But thats very pricy now.

Also video of a working prototype would be better.Also an idea..
Grip looks like its quite thick.You can make a place for http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8 and it would be awesome.

Yeah I think there is a certain current requirement of the Vita, I'm not sure what it is though. Sony makes an official one but it has a pretty small capacity: http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/

There's actually a real, sony released power bank made specifically for the vita. I mean I guess you could charge it with anything but if you want the real McCoy click here. If you have prime it's priced pretty well and has good reviews. http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1458165275&sr=8-4&keywords=vita+charger

It's not the voltage, it's the amperage. You need at least 1.5mA to be able to charge while playing.

I use the official PS Vita Portable Charger from Sony.

https://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8

It's not a great charger though, you can find external batteries with way more capacity than this one out there with a better price. When I bought mine it was only 10 dollars, that's why I bought it.

Sure, best thing ever. http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418700581&sr=8-2&keywords=psvita+battery&pebp=1418700592940

I'm able to game on the Vita off Wi-Fi for 5 hours or so if I remember correctly. Pretty long for sitting there constantly gaming. You could always get this as well.

But shipping is the factor as I feared so fair enough.

I'm pretty sure the available external battery marketed for the vita can charge other usb devices as well, so single purpose may not be a concern.

In addition to the above, not all wireless chargers are created equal. Cheap ones may not work with all phones or may require very precise positioning of the phone (which kills the convenience factor compared to wire). The one that is really good but expensive is TYLT. There is also a cheaper alternative which is supposedly a Chinese copy of Tylt.

I have a Tylt that I am very happy with. I heard that Itian A6 works fine, but I don't have personal experience with it.

I got this charger back in April and it has been working wonderfully . No problems.

https://smile.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Phone-Charging-Pad/dp/B00DG8NUC8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1510738166&sr=8-2&keywords=tylt+wireless+charger

I have one for my desk at work and one at home...

I did some research on wireless chargers for my N7 earlier today, and found that the Tylt Vu charges at an equivalent rate to a 1.0A normal (5V) charger, though it does so via 12v output at .75 amp. Based on its charge speed and other features, I decided to purchase it this morning -- despite a couple of small flaws.

Drawbacks are:

• The plug appears to be big enough that it might take up the space of two outlets on some power cords.
  
• The cost is nearly three times as much as some competing brands.
  
• Some reviews claim that it can overheat N5s if you put them on the stand in portrait mode instead of landscape. (I only have an N7, so this doesn't affect me.)
  
  Overall, I like the design and reviews claim that it charges as fast as a wired charger. What put it over the top for me was hearing that Leo Laporte uses this as his N7 charger, and he appears to be very happy with it.
  
  Keep in mind that I only just ordered mine today from Amazon, so the above information is just info I gathered through research earlier this morning.

I've been using this: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-Galaxy-Nexus-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8

I have one of these and love it! I can put my phone, or watch, on it in any orientation and it still charges. The only problem is that the watch has to sit a little higher than just on the bottom in order to charge.

http://smile.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410562215&sr=8-1&keywords=tylt

ahh my bad, I didn't even realize that there was a link :P Also, I guess it could depend on the charger. Mines a Tylt Vu

I've had very good luck with the Tylt Vu:

https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-Galaxy-Nexus-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8

One more thing, Qi chargers are pretty picky about placement. This charger has multiple coils so you can just slap your phone anywhere on it and it should work. I haven't bought one yet because I heard the placement thing was annoying, but I just saw this one last week and was thinking of giving it a try.

These aren't docks, but they function like them:

http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8

http://www.amazon.com/Vivis-trade-Knight-V3-Smartphones/dp/B00LJCI53M

This is a pretty solid charger. Some users report a little heat but I've never noticed anything I wouldn't already get from a regular plug-in charger.

This one is popular but expensive. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DG8NUC8/ref=mp_s_a_1_34?qid=1416407708&sr=8-34&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I'm using this one cause it was cheap enough and I prefer the slight angle. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KMJ5QFS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416407902&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Here is a link for the amazon reviews. Seems like there are reports of it, but most people are not having any issues. Plenty of people on this sub recommend it.

I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on this but I might wait until the version 1.2 chargers are out.

No problem. Thanks for Gold :)

Also another charger I really like is this one: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DG8NUC8?keywords=tylt%20charger&qid=1451921490&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

I one of those on my desk in my office and it works great as well. It's a little big since it will hold the nexus 6 but I have never had a single connection problem with it no matter what case I've had on it.

i got this- it's amazing.

Never bothered with either, toilets don’t really bother me, ones in the arena get cleaned daily so probably your best bet getting there early if that bothers you.
With charging I’ve taken this for the past two years and it’s lasted the whole weekend (Wed-Sun) both times.

Not exactly what you asked, but I use this power bank which has three usb ports. One of them outputs less than 2A though so might not be what you're looking for.

That looks pretty decent.

I use this battery pack, which has kept my phone charged for four days when I forgot to take my mains adaptor on holiday with me

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00F5Q4F0U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_FI.gzbMM1ZMFV

It's not a solar charger, however it's an external battery. I have it, can easily charge my phone quickly 6 times over from full. Also contains a really powerful torch on the front (with an SOS flash which has been pretty unnecessary for me).

This one is pretty good that i have

http://www.amazon.co.uk/EC-2nd-Gen-Deluxe-Smartphones-Black-Red/dp/B00F5Q4F0U?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

Massive battery and seems to work fine with the Gear VR

I have one that looks very similar to this, but at 22,400mAh. And yes, that's 22,400 at the battery, not after the 5v buck - so ignoring efficiency, probably 16,576mAh at 5v.

I believe mine's 8 cells (18650), so if it's the same chassis, 30,000 isn't too much of a stretch. 300,000 otoh ..

Can recommend this badboy

Me again - they don't make my one anymore but this is the successor!

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00F5Q4F0U/
(sry for german amazon, i am sure its also available on the .com)

And i am realy happy with its 20100mAh/22400 mAh for just 30€/32€

If you're in the UK this £23 EC Technology 22400mAH is probably the best for your Crafty.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F5Q4F0U/

For me it charges my Crafty - with a dying battery - in half the time it takes with my 2amp Samsung charger and you can charge the Power Bank up twice as fast as other banks as it has 2x 2amp charging inputs. Obviously you need two 2amp chargers or a good dual charging charger but you can still charge with just one 2amp input.

Just be of decent quality and be able to output a decent number of amps.
I have one of these and it charges the pocket fine at 5v@2A (confirmed with power meter)


https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F5Q4F0U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Product So far so good, should stop me running out of juice.

I tried using: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F5Q4F0U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But I got the not charging sign indicator. I will have to play around using the Surface cable and using the iPad port.

It's more for emergencies anyways since I got the power bank on lighting deal for £12 or so.

They could, if it takes that long to charge the S7E it likely is quite low power output. A lot of the ports in cars were designed for older phones or those with smaller batteris like the iPhone. Not really a lot you can do if that's the case and want to use that port. Car adapters aren't that much if you do need fast charging though.

They make 12v ones you can just throw on a female cig socket. Like a so.

Edit: weird link formatting

Edit 2: are you wanting a flush mount for the final port?

I have this one from Amazon Quick Charge 2.0 AUKEY Dual-Port Car Charger $16 and works great

Wondering if the sunlight heating the phone might be an issue.

I'm currently using this Aukey charger with the 6P plugged into the 2.4A port with a USB-A to C cable, and I have had no issues with the phone charging (let alone maintaining charge) while using either Google Maps or Waze.

The difference is I have my phone in a CD slot cradle, so it's out of direct sunlight and the AC is usually blowing nearby so the back of the phone remains cool even after hours of Maps (and Pocketcasts bluetooth streaming) while charging.

I use an Aukey 2 port that does Qualcomm QC on one port and 2.1A on the other one.

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Samsung-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B00LJT2EPK

Wireless charging is fine, but any bump that makes the phone move and/or "jump" will break the connection and reset.

FYI the Qi charger on the CH-R/Prius Touring/Prime barely work for my S8+ because the phone is physically too tall.

I I have this one that I bought over a year ago for when I had my Nexus 6. I use a usb to usb-c cable and either port charges adequately.

I might recommend this one that will allow you to use your longer usb-c to usb-c cable.

No, that's not really a great deal.

I can get all those on Amazon for much cheaper:

Grand total: $82.98 $80.98 with free 2-day shipping.

And that's if you don't get more affordable options like the Choetech wireless charger for $30 or a myriad of cheaper battery packs. I, however, specifically listed brands that can 100% be trusted.

Yeah, my car charger worked great for my s6, but doesn't work with my s7.

I use this works just as fast as the 25w. Which I assume is about the same as that.

http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-Charger-Adapter-AIPower-Included/dp/B00LJT2EPK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449082385&sr=8-3&keywords=aukey+quick+charger - I bought this car charger and it works great. It'll TurboCharge it and everything. My phone ends up being about 50% by the time I'm done with work, so I use this on my commute home (about 30+ mins) and it charges it up almost to 100% by the time I get home.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HSQXZC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 - Bought this for travel. It's a little bit finicky, like sometimes it won't say "TurboCharge Connected" when you first plug it in, but unplugging and replugging usually does the trick. Definitely doesn't charge as fast as the car quick charger, or the included AC adapter, but it still seems to charge at a pretty decent rate, easily the fastest I've seen out of any battery pack I've ever used.

Sure!

Can I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LJT2EPK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with an A-C cable and not worry about damaging the phone? I bought it ~2 years ago and can survive with a slower car charge if I have the good ones at home.

Any idea which port I should be using on that?

Was using the Moto stock charger in the 110v outlet of my pickup for a while. Then got the Aukey 30W charger. I'm pretty happy with it. Also have a couple Aukey 5-port chargers for my desk and my travel bag. Again, happy with the performance.

Here's a list of chargers that I have bought and used from Amazon that work with the fast charging.

Car Charger 1

Car Charger 2 This model isn't available, but they have more updated versions out there that I'd have no doubt work great.

Wall Charger 1

Wall Charger 2

Wall Charger 3 It's no longer available, but I still have it and it works great to this day.


As you can tell, I like to have plenty of chargers around, and most of them are connected to the wireless fast charge pads. The only problems I ever had were cable related and how I found out that not all cables are built the same to handle the fast charge.

I'll use this to ask a question I've been having trouble finding a clear answer to:

I have a Pixel XL, and I use the USB-C to USB-A cable that came with the phone to charge it in my car. I have a Quick Charge 2.0 plug that I've been using with my Nexus 6 up until now.

Does the fact that Quick Charge is different than USB PD mean it will only charge at slower speeds? Or can USB PD recognize the higher amperage levels, and push those safely to the phone? Would it actually charge faster in the 2.4A plug, rather than the QC2.0 plug?

Don't. I have one, and it's a great phone, no doubt. But wish I'd waited for S6 active or S7. Battery life with battery saving off is terrible, and performance with battery saving on is poor. S7 has bigger battery, removable storage and is waterproof.

But, if you must have S6 edge, get a case or bumper because if you manage to grip it without a case, you'll tap things you don't mean to tap... and you'll definitely drop it frequently.

Also, if you are in the car as much as me (ave. 60 miles a day) get a car charger with quick charge 2.0 because you'll need it. The QC 2.0 chargers are WAY cheaper than the Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging chargers and they do the same thing (this one is awesome https://amzn.com/B00LJT2EPK). YOU WILL NEED A FAST CHARGER ON HAND AT ALL TIMES if you use it without battery saving turned on... which you will because battery saver sucks.

Get at least the 64 gig because no SD...

I think that's it

This is the one I've been using - it's pretty great, slightly slower than the stock charger but connects as turbopower and it charges quickly.

I understand the frustration, but I've had a great experience with this guy. Use it every day and haven't had any problems.

You can also get wireless charging mounts that clamp to the phone instead of using a magnetic plate. I found this one on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UXS7958/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Ut0-zbX7V1TM9

It includes a video showing how it works, and it even rotates! I want that so bad.

I have several of this car mount/wireless charger. They worked great on my Nexus 6. Unfortunately I got a different phone without wireless charging so I cannot use that part of it. It is very convenient to just put it in and not have to worry about plugging in the charging cable. The suction cup sticks well, even to a textured dashboard.

I know it's not magnetic but I love my iottie wireless charging dock.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UXS7958/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eNsBybRWXB81Y

This is what I have. It expands and should work with most cases. You can pair it with a cupholder base (mine is Charger City).

As I was going through your requirements, I thought of my iOttie, until I got to wireless charging, but it looks like they have a wireless version.

From car.

I don't use the sticky pad they provide as I haven't felt the need to, sucks pretty hard.

The issue with the iOttie is that it is not fast wireless charging, but they do have a new version out.

I replaced my iOttie https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958/


with this one - dodocool Qi Wireless Charger 10W 3-coil Fast Wireless Charging Car Mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XD7WJDL/


The dodocool has a goofy name but works well. It is able to charge my phone while using Spotify and Google Maps at the same time. FYI Waze does seem to use a bit more juice than Google Maps.

Also, I like how it has the vent clip style mount included as I never have had any luck with the suction cup base mounts staying put after a hot day.

Is this what you're thinking you want? I guess it's not necessarily magnetic, but I have the non-Qi version and it does a fantastic job of holding onto my phone.

I have a solid mounting solution for my car that sits nicely out of the way and still accessible. Took a few tries, but settled on this combination:

iottie QI charger, connected to a ram mount ball, mounted to my dash via proclip.

http://www.proclipusa.com/dashboard-mounts/vehicle/hyundai/sonata/2011-2014/proclip-center-mount-854671-13002.cmsv

I'm very specific about car docks and I'd definitely recommend this one.

I've been using it for a few months now in my Altima and it is BY FAR the best dock I've ever used. It's extremely simple to dock and remove your phone with one hand, the build quality is very good, configuring it to almost any angle is possible, the suction is strong, and best of all it has built in wireless charging (though I removed the wireless charging component in it and modified the mount to have a fast wireless charger instead).

There's also the non-wireless charging model for much cheaper, which is still a good item. My wife has it in her car and I've only used it a few times, but I feel that the dock is a little more shaky than the other one, maybe because there's less plastic because of the lack of wireless charging components.

Spigen Essential F300W Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad with 3 Coils

And these in my vehicles:

iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger

The case works with both wireless chargers. I've had the phone for a couple of months and never needed to plug it in to charge. Battery has never gone below 40%, but I have no idea if I am above or below the average when it comes to using it. I use it extensively for reading, taking notes, and listening to music (via Bluetooth headphones). I take occasional pictures, which have come out really nice, and a couple of long videos.

Been very happy with the purchase, since I got $400 off the purchase price as a former Note 7 owner (turned in an old Galaxy S5). Because of that, I don't have contract to worry about, and since it's unlocked, I can switch carriers if I want to.

My Charging Solution:

USB Micro (grumble grumble, upgrade to C already!), USB-C, and Qi.

I have Qi chargers in various fixed places and just set the phone there as i enter and pick it up as I leave. I have one in my car for when i'm driving.

Pixel 2 XL has a C port, but I've replaced it for normal usage with a Qi pad on the back of the phone, which fits nicely inside the case. If I leave it off the charger entirely, I get >2 days. (Grumble Grumble Nexus line has Qi but Pixel line doesn't...)

Various devices on MicroUSB - Headset, speakers, keyboards, nearly every non-computer device that charges. Most of these devices can be pre-charged for weekend travel.

Pebble has a custom cable from USB A, but lasts ~4 days, so I can pre-charge for most weekend travel.

I have a power bank with 2 USB A ports and a USB C port, and Qi on the front face. It can also pass through power from either of it's input ports to any output.

I don't tend to do much computing when I travel, so I'm mostly down to the phone and it's cluster of peripherals. I don't currently have a laptop, but often borrow my dad's for travel, and it has a unique (Lenovo) charger.

For a day: I just take my devices.

For a weekend: I take the Qi battery pack.

For a heavy-usage weekend/longer: Qi battery back, USB C<->C cable, USB C wall charger (so far only travel within US, so that's easy...), USB A<->USB Micro. For longer than a weekend, Pebble cable.

In the future the watch will probably be Qi also, and I could see a lot of devices with sufficient surface area going Qi, and the rest going USB-C. IMHO, the solution to charging cables is to get rid of them all, in favor of ubiquitous wireless power.

Edit: Oh, and Apple is adopting Qi too, so it's going to be a standard on both sides!

The first mount I ever liked was the iOttie Easy One Touch XL:

When they came out with the iOttie HLCRIO132 Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958
I jumped at it, and haven't looked back since! I love not having to fiddle around with the cable every time I want to charge the phone.

Here are a few pics since you requested:

This is what I mean about the top surface above the screen, the cups from the Iotties fit perfectly:

Let me know if you need any more pics.

Let me clarify. I even had an electrician come to both my home and office to verify there was no surge/electrical problems with my outlets.

Here is a list of the products I have purchased that either completely failed (won't charge, etc) or had partial failure such as at least one USB port go bad:

• Anker PowerCore 13000 Portable Charger stop charging after 3 months, used only four times.
  
  
• Anker 6ft Nylon Braided USB Cable with Lightning Connector [Apple MFi Certified] stopped working within 2 months VERY light use
  
  
• Anker 36W 3-Port USB Car Charger PowerDrive+ 3 for iPhone 6/6 Plus/6s/6s Plus, iPad Air 2/mini 3, Galaxy S7/S6/S6 Edge and More two USB chargers went bad within 6 months
  
  
• Anker 40W/8A 5-Port USB Charger PowerPort 5, Multi-Port USB Charger for iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPad Air 2/Mini 3, Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge and More THREE usb ports went dead within 4 months, used daily
  
  Check my user history regarding buildapcsales. If I see something positive I definitely give it props, e.g. the Corsair 750D case recently posted, and when I see some potential problems I chime in as well.
  
  As for Anker, fuck them.
  

I use this. Works.

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-Multi-Port-Samsung/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1464904663&sr=8-5&keywords=anker

Ok. Here we go! It’s impossible to tell you what the best of everything is, since the best for me, isn’t necessarily the best for you. So here’s my setup, and reasons why.

My iPhone XS is protected by one of two cases.

1. Spigen Ultra Hybrid Space Crystal I like this case because it shows off the phone. I use this case as my daily driver. Reason I like it is because it doesn’t yellow over time and is nice and grippy on the sides.
   
2. RhinoShield SolidSuit, Classic Black This case I use for when my phone could potentially get damaged or knocked around. I work Security, so this is the case I use at work. It’s slim but provides great drop protection. It can also accept camera lens attachments.
   
   I use the Spigen Full Coverage Tempered Glass screen protector . It’s the least intrusive screen protector I have used. I love it. Combined with a case, it’s virtually invisible and it covers the entire screen without negative affects on Face ID or screen clarity. They are also cheap.
   
   I have a Apple Watch Series 4 Nike+ and it’s protected by a RhinoShield CrashGuard NX. This is the only case I’ve found that fits, and doesn’t wear or tear like some of the other TPU cases out there. It’s saved my watch many times from hits and scuffs.
   
   I’ve searched long and hard for a screen protector for my Watch I like, and ill be honest, I haven’t found a single one that doesn’t peel, and if it doesn’t (like glass) it will crack or chip. Many non-glass screen protectors distort the hell out of the display. In other words, screen protectors for the watch just aren’t worth it.
   
   In the car, I use Anker PowerLine II USB to Lightning Cables. These cables are bulletproof. They have always maintained a great connection for me, they are braided and have been super durable when shoving them into small spaces like behind headliners, plastic trim etc in the car. The PowerLine v1 has a rubber coating instead of a braided line if you want a more subtle look.
   
   For charging, beside my bed I have the Bestand 3 in 1 Qi Charger.
   It charges my watch, AirPods and iPhone. It does require a multi USB port charger to power everything, so I use an Anker 40W, 5 port USB charger. This is perfect because I just have another long Anker PowerLine II cable going to the other side for my wife (she only has an iPhone).
   
   I also carry a genuine Apple USB-C to Lightning cable and a Anker USB C Power Delivery 30W charger in my “Go Bag” just in case I need to quick charge my iPhone on the go.
   
   I hope this helps!

Pretty much any that fit will work - there have been some clever "universal" designs but I've not tried them since I have a (very old) assortment of old-style plug adapters.

Another strategy to think of might be to forgo all the separate wall warts etc. and get a single multiport charger + plug adapter and just carry usb cables so that you can charge multiple devices.

Anker PowerPorts are my go-to for this and you can get a non-fancy (no USB-3 etc) model for about $24. So if I'm bringing a boatload of toys I'll just bring the multiport plus USB cables so my wife and I can charge our phones/tablets etc. all at once.

The caveat is that my camera-specific (Nikon/Pentax) battery chargers have yet to go to the dark side and be usable with USB supply which is a pain (and likely a profit center for them), but they all use a standard 2-slot power cord, so I'll just bring that one power cord plus the charger heads that are needed.

or one of these https://www.amazon.com/Anker-5-Port-Charger-PowerPort-iPhone/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=sr_1_3

1. That's a lot of pants. See if you can bring it down to 1 pair of chinos, 1 pair of jeans, and 2 pairs of shorts. Pick the most versatile pairs. I'd drop a pair of CDBs and add another pair of sneakers. Remember that CDBs don't work with shorts, and you'll be able to travel with the bulkiest pair of shoes on your feet. If you're gonna do laundry, you might as well drop the number of shirts too. Bring PJs and a microfiber towel if you're staying in a hostel.
   
   
2. I like a jacket like this for summer wear, because it is decently warm, very breathable, and can be packed tightly. If you're looking for something special to add to your stuff, I recommend waiting until you're already there. Your money might be better spent on food, gifts, etc.
   
   
3. Shoot for carry-on luggage only. I know it's tough to pack, but it is soooo much less stressful flying without worrying about your luggage. Depending on how you want to do it, either a suitcase like this or a hiking backpack would be a good fit. I prefer the suitcase, even though you'll have to drag it on on some bumpy cobblestone roads. With the suitcase, you get to have the smaller backpack as well, meaning extra space and an everyday bag if you want to carry it everywhere. Don't keep anything you want to keep in the front pocket of your Everlane bag, it's a super easy pickpocket pocket.
   
   
4. Make sure you've got sunglasses and a hat, you'll probably be outside a lot. Get something like this to go along with this, and keep an extra battery like this if you think you'll be using a lot of juice on your phone taking pictures, etc. A small umbrella might be useful depending on where you go, and can be stored in the water bottle pocket of your backpack. Download maps ahead of time with google maps and use Mapway Limited apps to navigate transit offline.
   
   
5. Dress how you want, DGAF. Staying away from branded stuff can help you blend though. Killshots scream American to me, but I don't know their reputation in other countries. Targets tend to be the fannypack tourists that are obliviously standing in front of major attractions.

To answer your original question...

I have 4 Pi's running on this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5vP8BbDPSQJR0

Great way to power them all without tying up a bunch of outlets.

This aught to be able to handle it with ease. There's a 6-port version at 12A if you feel uncertain.

If you're ok with micro USB recharging, you can't beat the price on the Eagle Eye X2R. Combine with some good protected batteries and a 5-port charger and you're set.

I have a 5 port Anker and none are quick charge ports. Here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_xf7tybMBBFTEH I've been using the Anker output charger as my main charger since I got it about a month ago and both anker and Microsoft cables charged my device. Eventually my original Microsoft cable stopped working so I relied on the anker cable with anker output. And then just recently, the anker stopped working. Since they swapped out my original Microsoft cable with theirs, that cable also works with the anker.

I read a few posts here on reddit saying that the original output charger we have puts out less than what the S3 can get so that's why I got something with a higher output. Although, I don't think they recommended this one specifically. Should I not be using this one?

I just have trouble wrapping my head around the fact that just suddenly those cables and even with the original output charger don't work on my surface (although they still charge my Samsung phone). In other words, did the anker break the cable? Which doesn't make sense because it still works to charge my Samsung. I'm at a loss!

How about the Anker 5 port charger, which has 5 ports just for charging and no data ports. Or, if you still need some for data, the Anker 10 port hub, which has 3 purely charging ports and 7 data ports.

Sorry for being a broken record but I have a question about charging my switch. Can I plug the USB2/USB-C into this...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_CNwVAbTYRHXGW

...And safely charge/play my switch off the dock? Anker seems to be a good brand and they claim to have "PowerIQ" that aparently "detects your device’s specific charging requirements". Anybody know if this is a safe option for charging my switch? Thanks in advance!

The Anker PowerPort 5 has a 5ft power cable. So you could put the block on your night stand and use a stock cable from the anker to the phone? Pro: you got more usb charging ports Con: its 23$,

A powered USB hub is a very reasonable approach. Depending on what peripherals you want to add you may want more power per port. I actually like having these around in general: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Charging-Multi-Port-Packaging-/dp/B00YRYS4T4/ or http://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Charging-Multi-Port-Charger/dp/B00VH8ZW02/. However, I haven't tried one with the PI, just other devices. I have one coming in if you want to wait for me to try it.

Reading all these people who use their USB ports to charge their phones/controllers makes me wonder if they ever considered buying this. I have one at my desk and another near my bed. While gaming I can charge my pro controller, phone, headset, watch, and another item if need be at the rate the device is intended to charge at. One of the best investments I've ever made.

Found this gem on Amazon and I'm quite happy with it: Anker 40W/8A 5-Port USB Charger

I'm sure the power isn't super clean but it seems to power on one RPi 3 running tasks as well as a few RPi Bs quite nicely.

I'd like to hunt for something with more power and more ports instead of getting more of these USB power hubs.

Funny you say that. I've got one of the current model 5-port chargera, which is supposed to output 2.4A per port. When running a Pi from it on a 6' USB cable, I was getting the brownout indicator with nothing else running from the charger.

Likely a voltage drop issue, not insufficient current, due to cable resistance. I realize it'd be better to use a power brick that compensates with a mild overvoltage.

You already got a very vague answer and a very technical answer, so I'll try to split the difference and just talk about functionality:

The main difference between a cheap charger and an expensive one will be power/charging speed. Many modern cell phones have various forms of "quick charging" technology, and cheap chargers will not support that. They usually push out less current in general, due to the cheaper components. Enough to charge a phone, but only slowly, and cheap chargers can't charge things like newer USB-C powered laptops or Nintendo Switches at all. Not enough power.

Beyond that, "build quality" may differ, but that's a pretty nebulous concept. Most USB chargers are just some electrical components wrapped in a plastic shell, so there shouldn't be a lot of mechanical difference between them, to the extent that it would cause one to fall apart before another.

Design and features might be different. For $30 ($23, actually, at time of writing), you can get a charger with multiple ports and a detachable power cable (gives better access to the ports doesn't block power outlets). Those can be useful additions.

Voltage fluctuation is not something I'd worry about. Modern electronics can deal with a lot of variation on the charging input. I've never heard of a cell phone being harmed in any way by minor fluctuations in voltage from the charger.

Waste heat could be an issue. Generally, a more expensive charger, from a more reputable brand, will be more likely to be tested thoroughly and less likely to produce more heat than is safe. It's definitely not a common thing for USB chargers at any price range to overheat to a dangerous degree, but if any one were going to, it would be a too-cheap-to-be-true no-name gas station one.

Overall, I think a charger is something you can afford to be frugal with, as long as you're fine with very slow charging. Just check that your bargain basement charger doesn't get uncomfortably hot after a charging session.

On the other hand, if charging your phone as quickly as it's capable of is important to you, you're going to want to stick to the OEM charger that came in the box, or a splurge on a third party charger that is highly rated.

It was working having flashed raspbian straight to the cards. This was actually working for me for quite a while. Somewhere along the way it stopped working. I dont know if it was a kernel update, a docker update, or something else. While things were "just working" I stopped building images for a while, and ran into this issue when I tried to update some stuff.

So this is occuring with raspbian and hypriot being flashed directly to the card. df output seems to show that there is plenty of space, so its not the "NOOBS using up all the sd card space, use raspi-config to expand :

>$ df -h

>Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

>/dev/root 29G 1.1G 26G 4% /

>devtmpfs 427M 0 427M 0% /dev

>tmpfs 431M 12M 420M 3% /run

>tmpfs 431M 0 431M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

>/dev/mmcblk0p1 64M 31M 34M 48% /boot



It seems to be less about disk space, and more about IO errors. Or in some cases, network errors. Trying to install a bunch of php stuff results in item 7 and 13 failing on "no space left!" but then continues on to item 43 with no issue. i dont think it would be able to continue on if there was actual disk space issues. (On some occasions it will just flat out say IO error: ERROR: http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main: IO ERROR )

But it seems highly weird to me that several raspberry pi's would go out at the same time, only having issues with docker, but it seems equally odd that I'm the only one having issues with it.

This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VH8ZW02/ is the USB hub im using to power them. is there something with this that could potentially have caused permanent damage?

This one will charge PS4 controllers and the PS Gold Headset. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VH8ZW02/

I love these Anker 5-port power supplies: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VH8ZW02/

I can run multiple Pi's off a single outlet this way.

I've been using this Anker 5-port charger. I've had it about a year and it's great. I use it with iPhones, iPads, iPods, Kindles, even a fitbit. It charges fast and reliably with no heat buildup. The cord to the wall is about 5 feet long, too, so you can plug it in behind furniture or just generally have more flexibility with placement. Can't recommend it enough.

I always like Anker chargers. They make really good ones that have smart voltage systems in them that can up the amps depending on how much the devices draws. They also have a new Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 charger if needed.

I just hope the previously linked 5 port charger gets updated with quick charge support.

As for anything USB-C related look at the reviews of Benson Leung, he is a google employee who does some great reviews testing cables and other items to make sure they follow usb-c spec and they actually work well.

I would have made use of this battery.

Use only portable electronics when absolutely necessary.

You can charge it with this USB power bank that came out in May:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Recharges/dp/B0196GQAKM

This might be more in your range. I caught it for $180 on sale. Normal price is ~$220. It can run my laptop for a total of 20-25 hours. Granted, my laptop draws 9W from its internal battery under max load. I purchased it specifically for its low power consumption. If your laptop is running anything serious, you'd be looking at quite a bit less on-time.

When I first got it, I used it Saturday through Wednesday after work as my laptop's only power source until it died, running off my laptop's AC adapter. I'd probably get more out of it with a DC-DC car charger instead.

There's also this guy for $170, but it's half the capacity of the Suaoki.

You might also want to consider other things, like portable phone power banks. Ravpower's 34WH banks are $15 on sale and $20 full price. If you picked up 2-3 of those, a cheap usb powered tablet, and some usb string lights, you'd still come out under $150 if you picked up the tablet used from eBay.

And for $500, there's also the 400WH Anker PowerHouse.

Something like this?

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Powerhouse-120000mAh-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM

Get this instead. haha https://smile.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM?sa-no-redirect=1

I suggest the Anker Powerhouse. It should suit all your needs because its made for outdoor camping or as an emergency portable power bank.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-120000mAh-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM

Not much different from https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM though, and it's actually smaller for a higher price.

That can easily be solved with duct tape and a 120000 mah battery.

The gopro becomes slightly more unwieldy if you wanted to carry it in your bike helmet.

Well I hate to burst your bubble but I live in the most expensive neighborhood in the city limits (Old West Austin - 78703) and we haven't had power for about 27 hours as well. God bless Anker

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM

This may do the trick......... :D

50Ah is old hat nowadays. Even Anker themselves sells a 120Ah powerbank these days, and that's on the low end of the scale.

Probably the easiest way to quickly get going is to get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM

I know it costs a lot.. but if you can get paid 50usd/second for the timelapses, it is probably easiest way ! Probably runs a D700 for at least a week. This is of course if you cannot get an extension cord there. With an extension cord or even the Anker PowerHouse, you could use something like this too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-power-adapter-f-Nikon-D90-D300-D700-D3000-D5000-as-EH-5-EH-5A-EP-5-coupler-/180952806542

Not cheap but should meet your needs. Option 1 Option 2

Enjoy

not sure what the recharge rate is but i would imagine unless your directly tethering to the terminals then you would be limited to the fuse amperage, typically like 15 amps on a cigarette plug i think?


back on the main topic, maybe something in this article might help? https://teslatap.com/articles/12-volt-battery-compendium/ they dont mention exact rates that i saw but it says "

>The Gen 2 DC-DC converter in the refreshed Model S accepts 220 to 430 VDC at 15 amps, and outputs 9 to 16 VDC. When outputting 12 VDC, it can deliver about 200 amps.
>
>The Model 3 integrates the charger and the DC-DC converter into a single package, the PCS (Power Conversion System)

​

IMHO i would just invest in one of those Portable power stations from the likes of Jackery, Anker or Goal Zero especially seeing as how the replacement battery is going for about $500 on Amazon.

that package is a ripoff... you can buy the parts separately from Anker and its $10 cheaper...and you get a second usb-C cable.

and if you don't want the extra USB-C cable you can save another $10 by getting the wall adapter w/o the cable.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=psdc_12557637011_t1_B01CJ90J6O

Those are the top hits I get by searching "usb c wall charger"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_WPKdAb3RYGPD1

Ifyou just want a USB-C wall charger, then, https://amazon.com/Anker-Delivery-Charger-PowerPort-Samsung/dp/B06Y427WT7/
or,
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=psdc_12557637011_t1_B06Y427WT7
I have the latter at my office for the phone. It comes with a USB-C cable as well.

I have two questions:

1. You would need something like the following to charge the PowerCore, correct?
   
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FMW3ybP4J5ZZB
   
   
2. I travel a lot and keep a crappy 2-port Powerocks wall-charger/battery. I use it to charge my phone and alternate charging my watch and iPad. If I got this PowerCore, could I plug it into the wall and use it to charge my phone, watch, and Switch? Something on Amazon suggested it doesn't support pass-through charging?

If you want one that comes with a good quality C to C cable as well, I'd recommend this:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Type-C-Charger-PowerPort/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1500986947&sr=8-7&keywords=anker+USB+C+charger

It's QC 3.0 based so it'll work for the S8 (only pulls max 15W) and any other device you purchase in the future that supports fast charging up to 24W.

This is the charger i got when my OG Pixel charger died (supports quick charge)

Good luck with your search, enjoy Canada!

Just a charger? It's hard to go wrong with Anker.

USB-C might charge it faster than a fast regular USB charger, but a regular charger might be more universal for other stuff you have. Some ideas:

I ended up getting this USB c to USB c charger for my switch. Anyone know if this will be able to charge and play at the same time?

Anker products are solid
But converting that price makes me thing it costs a lot in India?
Maybe you can find it elsewhere for cheaper, it is about $15-20 in US and Europe

... Well perhaps they are not following spec? Standard usb c - c cable is delivering 9v to the phone.

Does this work? https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Type-C-Charger-PowerPort/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503504062&sr=8-1&keywords=Universal+22.5W+Dual+Port+USB+Type-C+Charger

I recently bought this charger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=psdc_12557637011_t3_B01AHX1ABW because its quick charge 3.0
and the charger that came with the lg V20 is 2.0
I wanted to see just how much faster my phone could charge
but it doesn't even register as fast charging
if anything it takes about the same time if not longer the the stock charger

I have the Anker PowerPort+. Let's me fast charge my Pixel 2 as well several other devices that still use a USB A cable.

If you just need one port then give this one a shot.

My bad, I seem to have misread it.

Tronsmart wall charger

Ankler

Google's dual port charger or the regular OEM one.

So do you think this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CJ90J6O/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 charger I just bought will be okay? Also this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WJSPFOW/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 cable as well.

My bad on the note 7 thing. Looking back I meant the HTC 10 and the G5, just couldn't remember at the time. and yes I'm sure. I;ve had multiple qc2 phones and I was able to tell a difference by sheer speed. And if c to c isn't supported with qc3 then why are there are chargers for it? This is the charger I use.

Here is a small one that does have fast charging: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01CU1EC6Y

smaller with no fast charging: https://smile.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Lipstick-Sized-Generation-High-Quality/dp/B005X1Y7I2/

I'd go for the fast charging. It really makes a difference.

OSMAnd is a great software that works just fine for me, it's based on Open Street Map and works offline. In addition to that I have a small powerbank that I have in a ziplock bag ziptied to my top tube when I'm on longer tours, that has never failed me yet.

I had gotten this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CU1EC6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_I2A-Bb53EB9NQ

Though, i would say its good for one and a half charges for the galaxy S6, i bought this at a later day and each battery lasts for two charges which is enough for one day of play per battery, and the dock charges the batteries in about 2 hours:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711YT4QY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_C4A-BbAB9T0KR

Both are great deals but it depends on what you are looking for.

Most modern phones and watches should comfortably last 8 hours even tracking and playing music.

I have in the past used a small Anker charger which I keep in my pack.

You don't understand this so I will break it down further:

1. The switch doesn't support Quick Charge technology, which your Anker battery has.
   
   
2. The switch charges at full speed using a USB-C port, which this Anker battery doesn't have.
   
   
3. The switch charges at full speed using the USB-PD standard, which this Anker battery doesn't have.
   
   
4. The fastest the switch will charge using this Anker battery with a USB-A to USB-C cable will be 5V, 2.4A, which pretty much every battery bank made in the past 5 years supports.
   
   Long story short, you might want to read closer into what the tech specs actually mean instead of buying based on brand names alone.
   
   Please show me where it says it supports USB-Power Delivery 2.0? This is different than USB 2.0 data transfer.
   
   >PowerIQ: 5V 2A
   
   This part of the description is what the Switch uses to charge since it does not support Qualcomm Quick Charge.
   
   Here is an Anker branded charger that offers the same output for $35 cheaper.

You could maybe find a black power bank so the color doesn't stick out. Is everyone miked, or did you just use it as a stand to tape the flashlight to? Nevermind, thought you were the OP.

There is also this type of power bank which might be more discreet

Somewhat unrelated, but I'm about to buy a power bank (I just learned that term from you, btw) for someone's cellphone, like this or this.

Can you recommend a good, non-exploding one that's not too pricey? I was planning on buying it off Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CU1EC6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one. I've only had to use it once (last time I was at WDW I didn't have the right cable to connect to my phone...so remember about getting that, too), but on my last trip it was a godsend when I had to be on the phone a couple of hours with our airline after a cancellation.

I personally didn't have problems while shooting in 1080p, but that does not mean that all other cameras are the same.

Additionally if you plan on using A6300 you might want to do something about external power supply.

Here is really cheap solution that I'm currently using ...

This one to be specific. AUKEY 30000mAh USB-C Portable Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank, 3 USB Outputs Battery Pack for Nintendo Switch, iPhone 8 / Plus and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F8IRIN0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IMs0AbPCGPR2D

It’s a beast.

The car charger for Nintendo switch Hori is 5V 3amp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZAUPD6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_RBcKyb75XS92A

I would suggest you match that output in a power bank.... There are not that many that do output 5V 3.0Amp via usb c. Lower current output ones will charge, but do so slower.

I'd recommend looking at the Anker 20,000
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Ultra-High-Capacity-VoltageBoost/dp/B014ZO46LK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1485844640&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+usb+c+battery

Theres also an aukey one that's 30,000 mah, but its heavier and bigger also I'm not sure about how well it conforms to usb c spec.

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-30000mAh-Portable-Charger-Micro-USB/dp/B01F8IRIN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485974356&sr=8-1&keywords=aukey+usb+c+battery


I did some very rough estimate calculations based on Nintendo's estimates on battery life and charging in post if your interested.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/5r65m4/my_rough_calculations_on_what_is_required_for_a/?st=iynauqef&sh=9095291f

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F8IRIN0

For $5 more, there's this one where you can charge via USB C, supplying a recharge at 5V 3A much like the Hori High Speed Car Charger linked elsewhere in this thread. Dunno if 2.4A (through alternative ports) would be a problem when the Switch has printed on the back 2.6A.

Or, or here me out here. Pick yourself up one of these bad boys and go over an entire weekend without a wall socket. I've gone nearly a week using olny this power bank to charge my phone.

I use this one for my phone and Switch. You can get about six full chargers on your Switch with it, which is quite a lot. I have had no problems with it and I would easily recommend it for the quality. However, if you want to get cheaper, maybe find one that isn't as large. This is a bit overkill, so maybe you don't need that.

There is an officially licensed power bank which you can see here, but its both not as big and more expensive than the one I recommended above. Its really not worth it, so don't bother.

And don't worry about bricking your switch with one of these either. All the problems with bricked Switches come from trying to use a 3rd party dock in TV mode. As long as you are always playing in tabletop/handheld mode, you will be fine.

would this one work better?

same thing but has a USB-C output

If you plan on charging it on the go, there isn't a better portable charger out there.

https://smile.amazon.com/AUKEY-30000mAh-Portable-Charger-Nintendo/dp/B01F8IRIN0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

If my power bank fits into it, you have a new customer. I paid $38 when I saw it on slickdeals or kinjadeals, if anyone is curious.

Dimensions: 5.9” × 3.3” × 1.1”

Weight: 20.4 oz

Mine works with this USB C to A cable and the USB C to A cable that came with this power bank. That's all I've tried it with.

Has anyone used a power bank to charge there Switch since the 5.0 update? I hear (few) reports that some people had theirs bricked but perhaps not because of a power bank. I haven't and I'm worried about it using mine.

This is what I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F8IRIN0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just purchased this 30000mAh bank (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F8IRIN0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that supports QC 3.0 (Meaning it should support Samsung's fast charging since its equivalent to QC 2.0 and QC 3.0 is backwards compatible). it also charges via micro USB and has a USB-C input/output port so if you plug in both the micro USB and the USC C ports it chan recharge the battery twice as fast (~8HRs)

Aukey 30,000mah with USB-C

I'm using the Aukey 30,000mah . Fast charges the pixel USB c to c. Supports dual input charging of the device itself and charges off the pixel fast charger. Supports 3 simultaneous outputs. Gives you almost 10 charges for the XL.

That's a good quality battery. That'll more than double the stock capacity. The beautiful thing about spare and extended batteries is that you can really expect double the battery life. If you use something like a 10,000 mAh power pack for say a 30,00 mAh phone, you're not going to get 3+ extra charges due to heat and various charging inefficiencies. For really high quality power banks and high end Flagships I usually get about 70% of the power bank's capacity in "extra charge". With extended batteries it's like an OEM built a phone with that size of a battery. Have you been using the one stock battery that came with your V10 as you would a phone with a sealed battery (charging it via an AC adaptor)? If so just a new stock capacity battery would drastically improve battery by itself, I obviously recommend getting multiple spares and or an extended battery though. As for the fastest charging battery bank, there's no real Bible on that. Generally speaking you want something that's USB C PD compliant if you're fast charging a Pixel or 2017 iPhone, and Quick Charge 3.0 support for other Flagships. Most of the time the USB C port is pulling double duty for both standards. It also doesn't hurt to see if Benson Leung has given the charger his golden seal of approval. He's a fairly reliable guru who who knows the USB C spec inside and out. He has been wrong in the past, but generally speaking he's extremely reliable. Marketplace reviews can also be a good indicator, just look for verified purchases and see what they actually take umbrage with. I personally use an Aukey 30,000 mAh power bank with Quick Charge 3.0 and 30W USB C PD. I've tested it with power gauges it and it works really well. It'll charge all of my Quick Charge 3.0/2.0 devices at full speed, and it can charge my iPhone X and iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) at full speed. It can keep a Nintendon Switch topped off during use, and rapid charge it when it's idle. It can also charge a 12" MacBook fairly reliably. It's Overkill for a V10 but I recommend it. I have 2 of them, and bought them when they were $80 a piece. I've seen them a little lower than what they're currently going for, but they're worth every penny. To my knowledge it's the largest capacity power bank with this many power user features. Here's a link : https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01F8IRIN0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527167420&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=aukey+30000mah+usb-c+portable+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=31T63ZNoF6L&ref=plSrch.

Here's a good one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/

You can only charge via USB so fast unless your device supports one of the technologies that negotiates faster charging. If your battery doesn't have that, then it can only charge so fast.

thanks for the reply bro. how is this one compared to the one you linked?

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=anker+fast+charger&qid=1565751557&s=gateway&sr=8-5

So if I were to get an Anker with 39W with quick charge 3.0 (Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Wall Charger, PowerPort Speed 2 for Galaxy S7/ S6/ Edge/ Plus, Note 5/ 4 and PowerIQ for iPhone X / 8/ 7/ 6s/ Plus, iPad Pro/ Air 2/ mini, LG, Nexus, HTC and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_weLfAbGAW8G9E) would it work?

Also I won't be playing there most likely. It's mainly for the plane ride.

I recently bought this along with a couple of these and they seem to work fine at the moment even though it does not charge rapidly.

I am curious about the fact the that brick is Quick-Charge and not Power Delivery and how that could play out later on, but time will tell.

hey /u/psychojunglecat3 , /u/vv0rm , and /u/kananjarrus

i got a response from anker...

First of all, let me thank you for your great support to Anker products. To your requirement, we would recommend below wall charger model for you, and you could use the blue QC port to recharge our PowerCore II 10000, and you will still have other 3 Power IQ port to charge your other devices:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01N2HIR9R/ref=sr_1_11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1495091165&sr=1-11&keywords=Anker+wall+charger

If two output ports are enough for your needs, you may also consider below model:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1495091165&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=Anker+wall+charger&psc=1

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further concerns. Thank you!*

I get that. But there are other anker adapters that use USB-A, such as this one that's 39W. Why not just use that and save yourself the price of the cable?

Do you know if this wall adapter would work if I plugged the USB charging cord into it and connected it to the charger that you recommended? I think it would, but I'd like to double check.

 

Anker Qualcomm Charger

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Thanks for contacting them.

I feel like it's worth noting, to get the quick charge input, you do need to use their QC input adapter. Assuming one would want a two port charger, Amazon has the QC 3.0 two port listed at 4.6 oz.

The older 10k (6.2oz) will charge a bit faster, in my experience, with my 2.4ax2 port (3oz) at around 6 hours. That is about the same listed on the newer 10k's amazon page of 5hr 40m with a 2a charger.

Assuming that the 4.6oz is accurate, there is a 2.6oz difference total for a savings of 2 hours if the 4hr charge time holds true as well. Still significant time savings but at a price.

This is the one i got, purely because it had good reviews and was the biggest I could find:

There are however some other alternatives if you don't like the price or bulkiness of the zerolemon;

And another thing, it's not widely stated but the LG G4 supports quickcharge/fastcharge so it's totally worth every penny to scoop up a quickcharger if you don't have one. I like the company Anker as I've been using them for years.

There are some other anker quickchargers as well if you only want 1 USB socket or if you want something like 8. And they vary from quickcharge 1.0 to 3.0 which is pretty much just different charge speeds.

I bought this yesterday during the "cyber monday" deal, it was only $2 cheaper than that one at the time.

And this one rapid charges your phone?
I bought this one to work alongside the Type-A to Type-C Snowkids cables but it doesn't rapid charge: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUSYF8G/

I have an iPhone XS regular size.

To charge I have an Anker wireless charging mat that sits on my bedside table. Its connected to an Anker 39 watt brick with 2 usb slots. My watch charger is plugged into the other slot. I'm not sure if the charging mat is capable of fast charging, but it doesn't really matter because I put my phone on the mat at night and when I leave to workout (s3 cellular watch, thing is awesome) so I never really get to a point where I'm hurting for battery.

In the car I use this Kenu wireless charger. I kinda splurged a bit on the car one, but whatever. In the past I would have it sit on my leg and it would sometimes fall off and generally be a pain in the ass, so the fact that it holds it up is great. Benefit of upgrading from a touchid phone to a face id phone with this kind of setup is that you just have to tap the screen and it wakes up and a glance unlocks for any notifications.

I'm doing my best to embrace this wireless future. If I gotta spend a little extra to get there, that's cool with me.

this one.

Yeah I’m fairly sure I’m not on fast charging, I’m using just a normal adapter for it. I love using the charger for when I’m between 50-90% battery and don’t mind a slower charge that’s more convenient.

Would you consider making one of these into a wireless charger?

It'd be a pretty incredible piece and you could likely commission for quite a lot!

I don't think QC 2.0 would work with any future devices. QC uses non-usb standard voltages, 9V and 12V. Even Qualcomm decided to go with USB standard 5V and 15V starting with QC 4.0. The 10W rating on Moto wireless mod is most likely uses 5W/2A, which is not supported with QC 2.0/3.0. This one might work:

It happens on this wireless charger I got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0IL0QX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HRA4yb2VPEAD5

It also happens on the original Samsung charger that came out with the S6. Maybe it's just a tip and not related to how you currently placed the device.

I have used a number of wireless chargers over the last few years. Most of them were decent at best. But, once I started using this, I never looked back. Hands down, the best charger ever.

Good ish. Use with your samsung wall adapter. I leave my case on, still fast charges.

They're mostly expensive if you get Samsung-branded ones. I got this one a month ago and it's great.

I bought two of these and so far they have been flawless. They look pretty nice, too.

I got a Nekteck charger for my T480, and it works great.

When you shop, the primary thing you are looking to match up is the video resolution you plan to connect with for any video monitors. Just about anything works at 1080p, but things start to get hairy with 4k, 5k, etc. (Had a grand adventure trying to get a 'legacy' 30" dual link DVI monitor to connect. USB-C > mini DP, mini DP > dual link DVI dongle daisy chain)

Just about anything I picked up handled USB-A and SD cards.

For my own workflow, one of the things I did was buy something just for power. One USB-C @60W for my i9/32G macbook keeps up at home, and I mostly use the USB-A ports for charging other gadgets - not for data. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ for $35) Picked up a few uniquely colored cables so I can see data vs power. I'm a developer, and that silly power supply has been keeping up with fan spinning power draws for almost a year when I'm at home.

Anker (Not Aukey) has had very well-reviewed MBP chargers for a few years now, and they are a reliable brand. Now that there's an actual certification, USB-IF, we can tell if they're safe. I've also been using https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ with my OEM apple cable for about 2 years. Also fast charges my iPad and iPhone.

I got this one https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&sr=1-3&s=wireless&keywords=usb-c%2B61w%2Bwith%2Busb-a as a secondary charger for my 13" MacBook Pro a while back and I also use it with my Matebook X Pro.

I like it because it's full 60w USB-C, but also offers 12w for 3 USB-A ports if you need to plug in a phone or tablet or other device. Wirecutter recommended it and it's been a fantastic travel accessory. I literally got one that I just leave in my carry-on because I travel so much.

Best Buy has an 87W USB C PD charger, but it has a built-in cable:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-type-c-wall-charger-black/5880500.p?skuId=5880500

​

Personally I use Nektek's 72W (60W USB C PD, 12W USB A) charger, it includes a 3ft USB C PD cable:

https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/

​

I'll be replacing that cable with the Volta XL, it's then only USB C PD magnetic cable I'd consider using.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/volta-xl-the-only-charging-cable-you-ll-ever-need#/

It should, but I haven't gotten another charger yet to test it. There's a charging dock on Amazon I'm thinking of getting so I can charge the laptop and my phone.

Just make sure you look at how many watts the charger is putting out. If you're getting a little guy meant for phones it'll take forever to charge, if it manages to charge at all. This is what I'm considering, but I'm waiting until Black Friday. https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1542039254&sr=8-7&keywords=usb+c+charger+macbook

  good luck - hth!

It will, but it doesn't come with a USB-C to USB-C cable.

https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=usb-c+charger&qid=1556070365&s=gateway&sr=8-6

This is a pretty good one, with 60W USB-C PD and a couple of USB-A ports, and it comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable as well.

I got this one, works fine, if you get a longer USB C cable make sure it can handle 100W.

USB C Wall Charger, Nekteck 72W... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0712252ZQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I know it's not on your website, but have you had a chance to try the 60W Nekteck 4 port charger? Link It looks like the Monoprice 60W charger is out of stock for awhile and I was looking for something similar!

Doesn't plug directly into the wall, it's a bit too big for that

Has been reviewed by Benson and tech journalists very well and is USB certified

https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ

Slightly cheaper version of the same thing, comes with a USB-C cable that's USB IF certified for up to 100W (the Pixel 2 XL tops out at 18W, but maybe you've got a laptop or Nintendo Switch). I just replaced like 6 chargers in my house with this, they're great and affordable...

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you don't care about getting a spare cable...

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24425

If you only need 1 more USB-A port, and don't mind slower charging for larger laptops...

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24426

The USB-C is rated at 60W.

This is the charger.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this one for my 720S-14IKB and it's worked great so far: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not sure if the 15" model needs more juice, going off other comments here, but this definitely does the trick for me.

Well since I never received a response I went out and bought one. This one works well it charges the laptop with no error messages and it also charges my pixel 2 it is IF usb C certified with PD specs, which was important to me. I ordered some longer cords that have full PD specs. These cords will handle up to 100watts so everything is working smoothly these USB c specs are confusing now I am labeling my cords since I have some lower wattage cords my phone uses. The Dell one is $100 geez incredibly over priced. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WQQG7C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Their wall charger also works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here's the link I used at Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/ to buy it. I will be buying a second one for international travel as well as this 60W charger (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/) for recharging the things (right now I only have 18W chargers. I'd like to be able to recharge one quickly while at the airport or whatever.

Is that just for the E495? Im picking up a X395 and looking to get a good power bank.

​

I dont know if wirecutter is still reputable (bought out a while ago), but they reccomend these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075Q5VLGK?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AwEAAAAAAAAAAXet

And I know Anker is reputable, so was also looking at this:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Delivery-Charger-Portable/dp/B01MZ61PRW/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2MGFMR5ODL9KT&keywords=power+delivery+power+bank&qid=1566445596&refinements=p_89%3AAnker&rnid=2528832011&s=gateway&sprefix=power+del%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-4

Found a few that are cheaper and should work (even stating support for the X1C).

https://www.amazon.com/Delivery-Portable-Jackery-20800mAh-External/dp/B075SSHGJL

https://www.amazon.com/USB-ZeroLemon-Type-Portable-Charger/dp/B071HQFYRR

https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Portable/dp/B072BD98CM

However, for the T490, in benefit of having USB-C charging port, you could utilize an external battery pack to charge up the laptop on the go.

There are an assortment of battery packs out there with high capacity and high output to be able to charge the T490 multiple times over. As well as if needed, can charge during use. While the battery packs may not be able to create net-positive charging, it will extend the laptop usage time at least twice over. Especially if you arent utilizing the dedicated graphics.

Here is a couple battery banks you could look at:

• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075Q5VLGK?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AwEAAAAAAAAAAXet
  
• https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072BD98CM?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AwEAAAAAAAAAAXer
  
  Here is a video Linus did about a battery pack used on a Razer Stealth Pro while gaming. (You will experience FAR better battery performance in comparison):
  
  
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXNeoXnU7iM
  
  In my opinion, I prefer to have a sleek and slim laptop, with the OPTION to have extended battery life with a battery pack. Lenovo did have the neat design to have an internal battery, and a swappable battery slot so you could swap on the fly, but that required that you had to charge each battery IN the laptop seperately for each battery you have. Here, you can charge it outside, and use if for multiple different devices when needed! A win win in my books!

My powerbank still works. Using a qb820 with a Benson approved cable.

I tested it playing on docked mode.

Aim for a USB PD power bank with 45W output (the max iPad Pro can accept).

I have this one by ZMI. Great build quality and comes with some cables.

I am using this, work like a charm

1. ZMI 20000mAh USB PD Powerbank [email protected] (Thanks /u/wertzius!)

I use a ZMI (brand under Xiaomi) QB820. It's rated for 40W at 20V output.

Amazon

N.B. MSRP in China is 299 CNY, which is quite a bit cheaper than the price on Amazon. Buy it from Taobao if you can.

I have this one from ZMI https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Powerbank/dp/B072BD98CM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537989136&sr=8-3&keywords=ZMI+USB+PD+Backup+Battery It can charge the Pixelbook at the same rate as the charger it comes with which is nice. It gets one full charge from dead from it.

​

Some of the Anker and Aukey ones can't charge the Pixelbook if it is dead for some reason. You have to change a setting that pops up on the screen to use them. To me that defeats the purpose of them then so I passed on them. I don't think the Omnicharge one has that problem either but it is like 3x the price of the ZMI one which is why I went with it instead.

I currently use a RAVPower USB C Battery Pack 20100 since it's USB-C and can power my MacBook (bought in 2017). If I were to buy a new one today though, I'd probably look at this ZMI since it's a bit thinner/lighter and the power output is higher.

I use these:

Compact single port

Dual USB C

Smaller Dual USB C (untested)

DO NOT USE (when two are plugged in, limits both to 30w)

Battery pack, USB C (gives warning but still can charge a Dell XPS 13). Can double as a USB HUB when needed:

Hi, this is not that hard to find if you search. The only tough part about your requirement is the Macbook requirement. Even though you didn't mention it, I assume you have a Macbook that charges via USB C? Take a look at https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072BD98CM/

A Redditor PM'd me a link (Don't wanna call you out - Yell if you want public credit for it) to This Previous thread saying that the ZMI QB820 can power a switch dock. It's currently available on Amazon US for $69.95 (Complete with the seller confirming Switch Dock compatibility.

Amazon won't ship lithium to the UK, but can get it from GearBeast for £41.69 in a flash sale for the next 24 hours.

I'd prefer the razor pack, but it's three times the price, out of stock in the UK, and doesn't have confirmed Switch dock use out in the wild. Likewise, a power pack with standard outlets would definitely work, and give more flexibility for other uses, but they're still more expensive and a lot bigger and heavier.

Unless you fine redditors know a reason not to trust ZMI Kit, I think this is the one to go for. Hoping to order the TV, Battery, Hotspot, and simcard this week - Happy to report back on what does/doesn't work with that setup.

I designed and built an entirely battery powered "portable" docked mode switch console-thing for car trips and smash tourneys. Before anyone says it, yes, the switch is already portable, but 4 people can cram around this thing and not go blind and the whole thing will run on batteries for about 8 hours. That includes the monitor, which is now a 12 inch display and looks much nicer.

I am using this battery to power the switch while docked:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/

Which naturally also charges it. and lasts a LONG time.

I'm not sure if my Switch's current battery drain is normal. I've read it somewhere that when the Switch is put in sleep mode with no game running in the background, it should be able to maintain 100% charge for about 1-2 days. I unplugged my fully charged Switch overnight and when I turned it on late afternoon, it has 98% left. Is that normal, or should it be able to hold 100% longer? I use the official charger for my dock, and use this ZMI wall charger next to my bed. Occasionally, I also use the ZMI power bank. Both of them seem to have good reputation and work well for the Switch.

Edit: words

I can't speak to the converter situation, but I did just buy this power bank for charging my usb-c laptops.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It seems like it is cheaper than some of the other options out there. Doesn't max the airline capacity, but has a solid 20k mAh. It has a 45W output that should charge your chromebook without issues. I haven't had the power bank very long, but I am really happy with it so far (and reviews are positive).

ZMI QB820

Coupon Code isn't working for me on the Anker PowerPort Speed PD 5. I made sure I signed in and even closed and re-opened the browser and nothing still.

Everything I bring while traveling now a days use USB power.

https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Premium-Desktop-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/

This is what I bring instead of extension cord.

Works great and it's a very fast charge with this Anker charger...

USB C Wall Charger, Anker Premium 60W 5-Port Desktop Charger with One 30W Power Delivery Port for MacBook Air 2018, iPad Pro 2018, S10, and 4 PowerIQ Ports for iPhone Xs/Max/XR/X/8, S9/S8 and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_w9wrDbVN0F98X

Your Anker charger will not have enough power output.

Think about a different approach -

Get a Chromebook that has a USB-C charger. Then build a travel kit around it. You will need a hub that uses your Chromebook charger as the power source, and includes multiple USB ports that can be used to charge your other devices.

This is one I found
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Charger-PowerPort-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511790995&sr=1-10&keywords=usb-c+power+delivery+charging

There are probably many other ones available.

If the same cable that charges your laptop won't charge a microusb device with the adapter, it's probably a bad adapter. I've used the AmazonBasics c to micro cable without issue from by a type c charger and a MacBook pro. Does charging your phone via the type c/lightning cable work?

Personally, I went the route of a multiport charger. I use this one. It's a little sketchy on delivering the full 60w via type c, but works great otherwise. Unfortunately, I haven't found a 60w option from a (relatively) reputable company. Closest I've seen is 45w or 30w.

The OEM charger is 45watts. It will charge on anything less than that but just not as quickly. Right now its charging on 10watts (cell charger).

I was looking into this charger but its pretty pricey and I would have to get a USB C to USB C cable as well.

I currently use this Anker one, but have heard good things about this Monoprice charger.

The Essential phone is very, very picky about cables and chargers. The cable they included in the box is a very low quality cable and should be replaced for purposes besides charging. If you bought during an eBay special, you may have an unusually low quality charger.

For optimal (fast) charging, you want a high quality USB-PD rated USB wall (or car) charger supporting USB-C to USB-C charging.

Something like this, this, or this along with a USB type C to type C cable.

Once I switched to doing it this way, my phone started to charge rapidly every time.

A-to-C cables have the potential to be dangerous in the way you're asking, and there was a lot of that in the beginning, where the manufacturers would put the wrong resistor (10k Ohm) and the cable would trick the host to output in many cases more than they could. For A-to-C cables you want a 56k Ohm resistor. See this article for more detail: https://www.androidauthority.com/usb-type-c-and-3-1-explained-656552/

Your best bet (though unfortunately not 100% certain) is with well known brands and C-to-C cables. The AmazonBasics ones are good and cheap, and as a bonus they're USB certified. I got several in different lengths. As for a charger, I like the multiport Anker one. They also have a new model, but I don't have that one.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Charger-PowerPort-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/

There's that.

I don't think there's a brick with that many Type C ports.

I have one of these on my desk and it works for USB stuff pretty well. As far as USB C to Lightning cable, AFAIK the only actual certified Made for iPhone USB C to Lightning cable is the official Apple one.

I know that doesn't really help much, but Anker is a really trusted brand of mine so I wouldn't go wrong with them. Here's a decent one. It's expensive, but it's definitely worth it.

It's a 60W Anker hub/power supply: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072K5ZJXF

Hmm, now that I'm looking at the listing again, it appears that it only delivers 30W, which is probably not enough

https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Premium-Desktop-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1543418086&sr=8-3&keywords=anker++60W+USB-C+charger

​

one of these? I can't figure out which one works and which one has the actual cord that would go between the laptop and the charger

I see you picked one from Anker.

If you don't mind the price hike, I can also recommend this one from Anker with Power Delivery (rather than Qualcomm QC 3.0):

• https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-Premium-Desktop-Delivery/dp/B072K5ZJXF/
  
  I have two of these.
  
  The advantage is that the PD USB-C port allows you to power USB-C hubs such as these https://www.amazon.com/ATZEBE-Compatible-MacBook-Adapter-Ethernet/dp/B07H6996RW/ , which can in their turn fast charge the V20 while being attached to peripherals. QC does not work for this scenario.
  
  Downside is that the required USB-C to USB-C cable is more expensive and less common to find. A USB 2.0 cable is sufficient, btw.

Good to hear you're not affected. My max arrives on the 4th so I'm not sure if it has the charge issue.

Got the OEM Apple USB-C cable and the $50 Anker 60w USB-C on the ready. Thinking about the OEM charger. After dropping $1,450, what's another $60?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078W5CKSR/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_Ah2SAb6JHXEDE

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072K5ZJXF/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_oi2SAb9B8GPXB

I've heard from some tech YouTubers that these are trust-worthy. I've never used them and they are a bit pricey. I've purchased from Anker several times with no big issues and their customer service is really good. Hope this helps.

There are a lot of Amazon reviews regarding reliability concerns with the UX430UA. Unfortunately, there isn't as much information on the Q325UA because it's a Best Buy-only model. The Q325 is on sale this week. I was considering an HP Spectre x360 with similar specs, but this will be $300 less, so I'm probably going for the Asus. I'm using it for travel, so the 2-in-1 design is a plus along with the USB-C charging that means I can get something like this to charge multiple phones, batteries, and the laptop.

Edit: If all-day-power is a concern, there are portable batteries for USB-C power delivery. The 430 uses a traditional power brick, so no portables.

So, I did not thoroughly do my research before purchasing the following charger as a spare for my Chromebook Pro
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K5ZJXF/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza

This charger only gives me the "Low-power Charger connected" notification even though the charger says 60W. There is a review from another purchaser that realized this after the fact, and Anker stated that the CBP required "at least 12V/3.33A input when powering it".

My question: Is there any recommended multi-port USB Charger that will put out the necessary input for the CBP? I'd prefer something trusted such as Anker, but if I have to go to other brands to cut down to carrying 1 charger I will consider it.

I use the anker USB Type-C, Anker Premium 5-Port 60W USB Wall Charger, it is almost twice as wide as the stock charger, and only charges at 30W out of the usb C port. but it is a little lighter and has 4 usb ports for charging other devices. It does charge the 920 with no problem just a little slower. I a few times I forgot my charger before I bought this one I used my friends charger for his HP specter x360 a few times with no issues. I got the anker charger from amazon with a coupon code from anker for $32

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K5ZJXF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thought I'd close this thread with a product that I bought and works for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K5ZJXF

It's a 5-port multi-USB charger, with 1 USB-C port that works great for my Pixel2.

I am a big fan of this Anker's USB-C power supply. Works fine for all my legacy devices and also for my cell phone and Pixelbook.

And the best part is, while it comes with a power cord, you can install an adapter to turn it into a wall charger. I haven't tried yet, but I imagine this also works with European plugs.

I installed an extra long 10ft USB charging cable. That's the beauty of having a device that you can plug arbitrary cables into, rather than being limited by the power supply that came with your device.

AUKEY USB C Charger with 46W USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 & 5V/2.1A Ports USB Wall Charger for MacBook / Pro, iPhone X / 8 / Plus, Samsung Note8 and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074C2VZ2T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ns-FAbTKX54HR

I really doubt you need to worry about frying your devices. Also, if you want to charge to the max, you'll need new cables. Those USB A cords don't usually cut it. You'd be better off buying some usbc to lighting cables and usbc to usbc cables to keep around the house.

Don't worry about 3.0 cords either. Sounds like you'll need 2.0 cords only.

I see. So if I wanted to carry only one charger, I'd have to get something with two ports like this and still carry around two cables? (One USB-C to C for the Chromebook and one USB-C to USB-A for the phone?)

   ... And then any quality USB C to C cable. I use mostly Anker, as I've had the best luck with that brand. I can also get it to charge (more slowly though) with the Anker PowerCore Speed 20100 mAh battery.

My current laptop is the Huawei Matebook X. I use and Aukey power adapter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C2VZ2T) and battery pack (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JK63TSJ). The battery pack can actually charge the laptop. The power adapter can charge both the laptop and battery pack. I have one long usb-c to usb-c cable and one short one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DNSYH7R) that each do USB 3.1 speeds. It's great having a usb-c setup like this. Super light and lots of charging options.

FWIW, I have good experiences with this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C2VZ2T/

I've used it to power my official dock (inside a smaller case) for travel.

Actually, I guess the one I used doesn’t have the official Qualcomm Quick Charge that I thought it did! Still pleased with the fast charging time though.

If you don’t need 4 ports, why not something like this one?

I’m using this AC adapter.

This seems to be the same thing. Reviews seem good.

It doesn’t come with a wall charger so I got this one.

That is a 10 foot USB extension, male A to female A. It doesn't decide how fast something will charge. It is what you said you want.

That is an 18 watt, single port charger and is made to charge devices quickly. THAT is the thing that decides if a device like a phone or tablet charges fast or not.

I dont know of one off hand, but this is what I use and have used for 18 months

This option, however would bump it up even more.

DISCLAIMER: THE M1 IS VERY PICKY ABOUT WHAT ROUTERS IT WILL DETECT. I RECOMMEND THE TP-LINK ARCHERC7 (1200 model or something) as the various d-links simply wouldn't detect the modem or the modem wouldn't detect it. This is a known issue with the R1 and R2 (the revision that added b14) models.

Other than that and the fact it you can't use 4x4 MIMO due to network baseband restrictions (there are kits on ebay that you can use if you're in Australia where you can access the two internal antennas, it WILL NOT WORK IN THE US so don't get suckered like me and buy a kit from some ebay seller in Australia.), it's a great router for beginners that will run fine 24/7 if you use an Anker 3.0 charging adapter and keep the m1's battery REMOVED.


The m1 has a "bug" where running it without the battery but using the OEM charger causes it to reboot every few hours and not be able to re-establish an internet connection after the power cycle. I think they did that on purpose. You need to get a beefier charger so that this doesn't happen. Buy this:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Compatible-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B077HFFLMS


You can also add band combinations so that you are able to lock your modem to a band, in my case the best connection was to stay on b2 instead of the modem automatically trying to get on bands with lower, stronger frequencies but that also came with less bandwidth( in layman's terms, good ping, good downstream) You will need to telnet (ie: connect) to your m1 by connecting to using a male to male usb cable on your pc and using a free windows program called Putty. It's command based but very easy to use if you know how to copy and paste and go on the sites I list below.

I also recommend getting 2 internal yagi antennas. No, you don't have to mount them outside. I live in a 2nd story apartment and have mine pointing out of my bedroom window but they're on a simple pole in a bucket of concrete inside. (go to home depot, get a pole cut will cost you a few bucks, drove home with it sticking out of my driver window... concrete and a bucket from there are also cheap.)

Look for the wilson clone yagis on ebay, you can get them for like $21 to $29. Positioned correctly, these WILL increase your signal and strength as long as you are using a proper band/band combo to be locked into.

Something similar to this

You will need (x2) SMA MALE TO TS9 MALE to connect the antenna to the m1.

I recommend going to a group page called LTE HACKS and signing up. It's a private group but they will accept you and tell you everything you need to know. It's a great community of a lot of very knowledagble and helpful people. You will eventually fall into the LTE internet rabbit hole and contemplate frankensteining routers with chinese branded LTE modems before long just to chase the speed dragon. It's intense.

Gotcha on this one! Anker makes some good stuff! Has Quick Charge 3 support and runs at 18W. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077HFFLMS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_QhO3Db9BM389M

Eh, Anker has a 7.5W wireless charger for under $17 right now. You need a QC-compatible wall charger to go with it, but Anker also has one of those for $13.99. The total cost for the whole setup is a bit over $30. That's pretty cheap by my standards...

USB Charger

This one I got (the European version of it)

this Aukey power bank has worked really well for my 3XL

Hey, just a heads up but that power bank you linked has an "F" on fakespot.

I just ordered this one that technically has a lower rating, but at least they're real reviews ("A" on fakespot): AUKEY 10000mAh Power Bank, 18W USB-C Portable Charger with Power Delivery & Quick Charge 3.0 Battery Pack.

Oh, ok. This is the smallest you can go and have it be competent and be 12v. https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-10000mAh-Portable-Delivery-Nintendo/dp/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524575645&sr=8-1&keywords=usb-c+power+delivery+10%2C000mah

You can always buy a smaller 10000mAh power bank and see how that feels like, if you've never used one before. Maybe this Aukey one which is usb-c with power delivery. In any case, you can always use it to top up your phone too. One with no usb-C and power delivery is feasible too, though not really future-proofing yourself. If it's usb-A to usb-C, then plug it in as soon as you start playing on your switch from 100% if you think you'll be playing more than 3 hours.

I highly recommend this one.

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-10000mAh-Portable-Delivery-Nintendo/dp/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1541664282&sr=8-10&keywords=aukey+battery

It lives in my backpack currently.

I don't think the one you linked is even the most portable one that Aukey makes, tho we might have different definitions of portable... When I'm looking at 6,000-10,000mAh banks I want something that's downright pocketable, so phone form factor basically, and I'll easily trade a couple square mm (H/L) for a thinner bank.

I've been looking for one with an integrated cable like the old EasyAcc 6000mAh I had (or the even older Anker Slim) but I haven't found one. This 10,000mAh Aukey is way slimmer than the one you linked FWIW, and this Tronsmart is slightly slimmer still, $10 cheaper at the current sale price, and might have a better metal case. The Aukey has an extra Type A port tho (keep in mind plugging in 2-3 devices at the same time will slow down charge rates for all).

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079Z4RHZZ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

It's not a massive battery, but it can fast charge my pixel a couple times before I need to recharge it

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apap_6CzVUUjrAfvHn

Fast charges as well. Has power delivery.

I use this one, charges nice and fast while playing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079Z4RHZZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Depends on your phone's charging technology. I'll guess it uses Power Delivery (PD). For my Google Pixel (uses PD), Inreach (micro USB) and NU25 (micro USB) headlamp I use this battery pack, this wall charger, my Pixel's USB C to USB C cable and this USB C to micro USB adapter.

velcro on the back + two velcro straps on the back of the headset = removable counter weight+ extra playtime. tbh i usually only use it for very intense experiences as i only really feel the imbalance when i'm vr flailing like a madman heh, for viewing and low impact experiences i detach the bank.

I am holding out for Anker, but we are starting to see more vendors make reasonably sized PD power banks. Here is one from Aukey...
