Fast-charging External?

Anyone know of a portable battery that fast charges (real fast charging)?
I know of these:
http://www.aukey.com/product/pb-t1-fast-charge-battery-charger (I read that the s6 supports qualcomm 2.0)
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/get-through-qualcomm-quick-charger-2_60195548667.html (not really commercially available)

I also would be interested in a powerbank that is compatible with fast charging the S6 / S6 Edge.
And I too came across the Aukey powerbank.
But I didn't find the information if the S6 is compatible with Quick Charge 2.0, as this was developed by Qualcomm.

I purchased both wall and car chargers that were Qualcomm 2.0 quick charge technology compatible and both utilize the quick charge capabilities of the S6 flawlessly.

Cool! Thanks for the confirmation

I purchased the Aukey one you linked over the weekend and should be getting it today. I'll let you know how it is but it advertises that its quick charge 2.0 capable so we'll see.

The Aukey isn't in stock anymore on Amazon. I would have bought it. Thanks, please let us know.

Hey,dear,,,,,,,you are right..choose a good charger is very important.

I bought the Aukey. I only tried it once so far, but it works exactly as advertised. It shows up on the phone as a fast charger. It is a bit heavier than I would like, but I won't be carrying it everywhere, so.
Even with the same cable, recharging the Aukey took a lot longer than charging the phone. I don't know if that's weird or too be expected.

Well the Aukey is 10000mah and the phone is like 1/5 of that so it should take longer to charge.

Right, but I'd only used it to recharge the phone once. It was fully charged when I started.

The Aukey is getting charged with maximum 2 Amps on 5V if it the advertising is correct ,, personally i think it is 1.0A on 5V and your phone got charged with quick charge which is faster , also if you take efficiency into consideration , if the Aukey where to deliver 2000 mah to your phone then it will consume at least 2500 mah to do that .

Aukey will be available April 20. I put my order in on amazon.
BTW, you can fast charge the Aukey if you're getting slow charge times.

Have you seen this one?
http://www.ipoweradd.com/poweradd-pilot-s-12000mah-battery-charger-for-samsung-s5-s4_p1270.html
It looks a good option

Just got this bad boy, so far so good, two charging ports, 1 @ 2.1Amps, the other at 1am. The 2.1Amp side charges pretty fast. Not the cheapest but looks like good quality
Comes with a cool case too
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CKGAE94/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So the Aukey arrived and yes it does fast charge (says so in the pull down).
It's a little heavy and the plastic finish on both sides is slightly scratched (only noticeable) under light, but it seems to be the product to get right now.

Amazon link to Aukey fast charger
Here is the link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-10000mAh-Portable-External-Supported/dp/B00UBDI7EC

is there any word on release date of the official samsung battery back ?
the actual samsung branded one.

The Aukey is a rip off of the Unu battery chargers. The Unu can fast charge for certain. I've had it for months now and love it.

Fast charge as in qualcomm 2.0?

Looking for a fast car charger

Hey guys,
Being a lot on the road, I was started to look for fast charging charger for my car.
I would appreciate if anyone with an experience with one of those chargers will share them.
Thank you

i have been using this one for the last few weeks .. got it on amazon for 16 bucks
Onite 28.5w Dual USB Rapid Car Charger

Bought this one for a road trip and it performed very well. The device doesn't recognize it as a fast charger, but still charges the device from empty to full in about an hour. Also, thanks to KT kernel, I was able to determine that it pulls down just as much current as the OEM charger :good:

A few months ago I picked up a qualcomm quickcharge compatible charger for around 35 euros including shipping from the US, couldn't find anything cheaper, for a bit less you can pick up an official samsung fastcharger charger

You can't beat this Fast Charger from Verizon. Even has a bright push button LED light on the micro usb end, perfect for plugging the phone in complete darkness.

I got one on amazon (i think) with 4 ports, the bottom being quick charge. Works great. Normally only have quick charge plugged in but its nice to have a few extra spots. even full everything charges nice. I"ll see if I can find a link
THis is what i got and it works great.

I don't suppose you've seen any QC2.0 that have dual ports and are about the same size as the Scosche reVolt C2, have you?

For mine, I got a Quick Charge car charger from tech matte. It's pretty standard. It does quick charge, so that's all good. It was only $10, which I think is a pretty decent price.

You can get one from Amazon or eBay I think, and there are so many good products on it, very convenient to choose from.

Find a fast charger, any recommended?

Stock from HTC direct (Digital River) works well.

I own the Aukey Quick Charger, which also works pretty well with the M9:

I use the samsung fast charger from the note 4 or s6 and use the motorola brick from the nexus 6. I recommend the nexus 6 brick.

I will receive my techmatte quick car charger and keedox quick wall charger tonight, will let you know

I just got one of those too, and it's great. Wish it wasn't so big, but it does the job.

I just picked up a couple of Anker dual-USB wall chargers. They have higher amperage (2.4A) than most standard chargers and on both USB ports simultaneously (many dual-USB chargers lower the output when both ports are in use). Between the better charging times, the dual ports and the build quality, I'm very satisfied.
The Anker charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge tech looks even better, but I don't have any experience with it personally.

Show me the link and experience, thanks!

i have the htc rapid charger 2.0 and the aukey rapid charger (+the 10000mah external battery quick charge)
both work really well. if i knew about the aukey. i woulda originally gone for that first

Quick review of the Keedox Quick charger 2.0:
Well it has the official logo of Qualcomm Quick charger 2.0 printed on it but I kinda find it as slow as the stock charger from hTC :crying:
Tested from 45% to 100%
Till 80% it's amazingly fast with 20% every 10min but once over 80% it's slowing down, from 90% to 100% it's extremely slow like 1% every 5 mins
It took 75 mins to charge these 65% while it's supposed to charge from 10% to 100% in an hour (80%)
So we are pretty far from the advertised +70% faster charger.
Take in consideration that I am using Viperom 2.2 for the time being based on 1.40, these Roms are known to have bugs with charging time, so I am waiting for the upcoming Leedroid based on OTA 1.40 Rom to be sure this charger is crap and give a negative review on Amazon.
I am still waiting for my TechMatte car quick charger, my sis still didn't finish to empty her 2 suitcases, girls...
I don't think it's a matter of cable, I am using the same USB 2.0 cable that I used back with the Quick charger of the S6 on the S6, it was charging the S6 from 20 to 100% in 50 mins.

The Aukey quick charger I have does the same type of throttling thing once it gets around that 85% mark. I haven't paid enough attention to my Droid Turbo charger to see if it does the same thing. I figured it was just a safety feature of the Aukey charger.

So these are quick charger only from 0 to 85% !! The S6 stock charger on S6 was also slowing down at 85% but it wasn't that slow, the results were certainly faster.
Again I can't give a definitive conclusion about the Keedox before I try a stable rom based on the official latest OTA

The slowdown at ~80% full is the expected behavior to be easy on the battery. I find the quick charge most valuable when I am about to leave home and I can use the last remaining minutes to cram some juice into the battery. Main charging happens overnight for me without any need to hurry.

The slowdown >90% is behavior I have seen on every phone I have ever owned. It is a safety feature to avoid overcharging the battery. Overcharged li-ion batteries have been known to explode and catch fire, after all.
It may simply be that HTC is more conservative with its batteries than Samsung is.

Hmm ...
Now this makes sense ... Now I get why my charger works lil slower above 85% ...

Updated Viper Rom to 2.3, the Keedox charged my M9 from 34% to 94% in a matter of 35 mins

Thanks!

It looks like the htc m9 is slow with quick charger 2.0 anyway, gsmarena posted a 2h charging time for 0 to 100%.
So my Keedox is not bad after all

Motorola 15W Turbo Charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 Technology

I personally bought two of these the last time they were offered on Groupon. They just happen to be available again. $15 for NEW $10 for re-certified.
I went with re-certified and they looked and worked great, just minor blemishes.

Does it work well with the V10?
Can you tell the difference between the charging time of original fast charger vs turbocharger?
Thanks.
Bob
it seems that according to your test it does not work as a quick charger...
"Just took it out of the box, had 40%. Plugged it into my motorola turbo charger, with long flat braided cloth cable, it was charging at 5v.. I switched out the cable and used the 24awg cable from ZeroLemon's charger and it went to 9v. 40-80% in 30mins~ Main screen off (using OLED USB Doctor sleeve)"

I tried three different chargers and they all show that they charge at about the same rate in the app Ampere. The first was the fast charger that came with the phone, second was the newer turbo charger that comes with the turbo 2, and the last charger I used was the original turbo charger with a detachable USB cable. All are pretty close to the 940mA-1200mA range.
So if you need a cheap, quick charger the one in the OP should work.

Works great with the V10, I would re-read my post (you'll see I was using a different long cheap cable), used it with my Z3, G4 and N6 as well. Check my posts in the the Fast Chargers thread for more details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/accessories/fast-chargers-t3226944/page2

I personally gave up on chargers and care 2 spare batteries with me though out the day. Then recharge at bedtime.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, reading comprehension problems...
I do have the right cable for the turbo charger 15 so that is great news.
This is phonearena's result with the G4 with turbocharger 15:
"So, what happens if a Quick Charge 2.0 charger is plugged into the LG G4 instead of the phone's stock one? Well, that's the question we wanted to answer, so we drained the G4's battery and then recharged it using a QC2.0-enabled Motorola Turbo charger. It recharged our LG G4 in 98 minutes, which was an improvement of 23% over the phone's stock charger. In this scenario, the first 10 minutes of charging gave us 15% of battery juice, and after 30 minutes of charging, the battery level indicator was reading 39%. The charging process went at a steady, linear pace until we reached a battery level of 85% in 1 hour and 9 minutes. Around that point, the charging rate dropped – the battery was being slowly topped off."

Question about weird fast charge Galaxy S8+

I have 4 chargers on hand listed below...
1. Original Samsung Adaptive USB Charger
2. Anker PowerCore+ 10050+ QC 2.0 Charger
3. Anker PowerCore 10000
4. Pleson Fast Wireless Charger
Now my question is why is my S8+ charging similarly with all these chargers? Example @ 30%.... The Adaptive charger says 1 hr 9 min (reads fast charge), the Anker 10050+ says 1 hr 25 min (doesn't read fast charge), The Anker PowerCore 10000 says 1 hr 25 min (Not a fast charger), and the Pleson Fast Wireless Charger says 1 hr 44 min. I am confused.

Because only 1st one is actually fast charging your phone.
You should try 2 and 4 with original cable. If you have qualcomm version of s8 shold work

I'd echo the original cable and the wall plug that came with the device. Retry all 4 of these with the original cable and the wall plug.

Well I don't know if the Anker products are charging oddly because one is QC 2.0 and the other isn't, yet both have same 59 min charge time. So I question is the Samsung Adaptive charger is charging slow or fast? Here are some pics of the remaining charge with original black USB Cable.

From my experience, Samsung Devices don't really play nice with qc certified devices thanks to Sammy doing their own thing. What you are seeing is what made me buy Samsung's power kit.

I have no issues with my chargers, use stock charger blk, use sammy wireless charge pad with aftermarket cable and s7e wall plug charger and no issues. Still get fast charge. I even have a portable 10000mah sammy pack and use my gopro usb-c cable n gef fast charge.

Do you mean this one....

They sent me another QC 2.0 car charger, and it did not fast charge. I am going to try Berkin USB-PD car charger and see how it goes.

Estimated time. Don't expect them to always show exactly the time.
I have QC 2.0 and 3.0 chargers and they all "fast charge" but I don't expect what the estimated time show to fully charge be accurate or else they wouldn't say estimate.

Compared to my s7edge this s8+ charges a lot slower. The s7e would fast charge and wirelessly fast charge from any third party wireless pads/adapters.
The s8+ is finicky about what activates fast charge (especially wireless) and even while in fast charge it does not charge as fast as s7.
My guess is samsung slowed the charging down to help with battery degradation.

I found a weird thing last night when I set my phone to charge at 2 AM with about 7% battery just to wake up around 6 AM and it being at 86% charged. That was a long time, I don't know what's going on. Either the phone isn't quick wireless charging or the Pleson Fast Wireless pad I have sucks.

So, I've seen this behavior too. If you see the charge stuck, unplug the cable and plug it back in. I'm not sure why, but that fixes the issue immediately.

Are you guys charging in a warm room? S8 will stop charging if the battery exceeds a certain temperature. Samsung really went overboard with battery safety after the Note 7.
