Hey all,
I'm looking for a charger that will charge both the phone and an extra battery at once, with the needed mA to quick charge both at the same time.
There are lots of charges on eBay and Amazon but the reviews are not great for any. Can someone recommend one?
Here's one:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh...RFTU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322849246&sr=8-2
It has great reviews too.
thanks for the link but when you look at just the charger and not the combo pack they reviews are not as glowing.

You should actually read the reviews though...
I don't know how fast the universal charger is as I've yet to use it but the normal charger itself is really good.

Hi All,
Couldn't find this posted before so wondered if anyone could recommend a USB Battery Charger to change the batt from my Desire without the phone. I have a spare and going on travels want to be able to just leave the battery charging on its own and not use the phone all the time.
Ive seen quite a few on ebay and some look really dodgy with adjustable charging pins etc whereas others are ridiculously cheap and i can only imagine will ruin my battery.
Key points are it should be small, light, USB powered and whilst I accept it will not charge as good/full as through the phone - not to knacker my batt completely.
Cheers for any help.

I have been looking for the same thing and found a battery pack on Amazon for £25, manufactured by New Trent it has a 5000mAh battery in it and can recharge your phone at least 3 times.
I ordered the dual output version on Sunday, so hope to get it and try it out in a couple of days.
Using a Veho pebble here, works great
would be nice for a faster charge though, it seems a bit slow for 750ma

I've got one of those. It's really good, one of the outputs is 1A so charges up really quickly.
My only criticism is the on/off button is easily pressed by accident, but that's really looking for problems. Oh and it would have been nice if the usb socket to charge it was a microusb one so I could use the same lead as the phone.
It's a good battery pack.
It certainly sounds like it is going to be good.
With regards to charging the pack itself, does it come with a USB to mini USB charging lead?

Mine didnt come with any charger or leads but as I have a box full of that stuff it wasn't an issue.
Edit: I'm an idiot. It came with a lead with a selection of interchangable tips to fit most phones.
I forgot as this is now also living at the bottom of my tangled box of leads.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah i actually had one of those external battery packs (5000mah) but found that you could not even get 2 full charges out of it and therefore not worth the extra weight/charge time.
Basically its misleading because the voltage of the battery is different to you phone battery and it need to be upscaled or something - there are quite alot of posts about it. Let us know if you manage to get 3 charges though - that would be good.
But anyone used external chargers for the a spare phone battery?
Hi
I've ordered a new mugen 1950mAh battery and now I'm going to buy a new battery charger (not for the phone, only for battery). Here are some links such types of chargers:
Omg, I don't have 10 posts so I'm not able to post outside links. So please just write in 'images.google': "universal battery charger" and see the results. I take interest to the one which is a little bit similar to a computer mouse
Do you think it will work properly? Does anyone have got such a charger? Or maybe can you suggest sth other? I just want to use the phone with one battery, while the second one would be charged. Binding the phone to socket with cables during a day is very annoying.
No one? Can't believe..
not sure what you're referring to but http://www.amazon.com/Laza-Battery-Charger-Sensation-Shooter/dp/B0057HJU1Q is a good deal for 2 1700mah batteries and a standalone battery-specific charger. no pins to align every time. just slam the battery in and it goes.
or there's dozens of universal ones with sliding pins like http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Multi-Purpose-Universal-Battery-Charger/dp/B0058XGN7I
I'm sure you could find one of these for less than $5 shipped on ebay if not amazon.
But I've already ordered new mugen 1950mAh so I don't need to buy anything new. Mugen and stock batteries are enough
Unfortunately I can't find such a battery charger on ebay. But it's a cool thing because I would better buy something branded than some noname rubbish. Any ideas?
i'm using this: http://ioomobile.com/shopbybrand/990-momax-smart-battery-charger-for-htc-sensation-z710e.html
can use usb. but it only supply 500mA so it took longer to charge.
I've been using these for ages
These chargers are the best way to charge your battery, for me at least. I've been using them for years. Of course you need at least two batteries, but I usually have at least 3
These chargers are chinese creations. Some can be really slow, others a bit faster, but usually they give out around 200-400mAh which is kinda slow, but will charge your battery overnight.
The good thing about these chargers is when your phone dies or is about to die you just pop in the already charged battery and you are ready to go, no charger, no cables. And from my experience the battery lasts longer than if charged in the phone, sounds strange but it's true.
A downside is while charging they have this LED flashing, which indicate charging, and when they stop, battery charged. But these can be really bright and if you charge overnight in your room, you have this flashing colour changing lights.
I totally recommend these chargers. On chinese sites they go around 3-4$. Don't go for the cheapest, probably will be crappy.
Thanks for info guys. A week ago I bought YIBOYUAN 100-240V EU Universal Battery Charger USB Output F HTC Sensation/G14. Will see how it works
Hello
Battery charger i found is the Best

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?
I found this Quick Charger from Nillkin and it claims that it could "automatically identify and fast charge with high compatibility". It seems cheaper than other quick chargers like the Motorola one
Can anyone confirm this? Does it work with Quick Charge 2.0 on the M9?
Link to the charger website:
NILLKIN AC ADAPTER
I'm also checking this one,in the past someone have review that nillkin charger will get over-heat and have no idea if they have solved this problem.

Well bad news, this charger does NOT support Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, it's faster than the one that came out of the M9 box though.
If you're interested in buying Qualcomm quick chargers like me, you should check and buy the ones which has been certified by Qualcomm themselves.

Well,how long will it take for a charging circle? and will the fast charging do some harm on my device ? Do you know where could I read a verified review ? Thanks!

The Nillkin one I believe saves only 20-30 minutes of charging time compared to the one that came out of the box.
The phone does get warm when it's quick charging, I don't know if it would do any harm after a long period but so far I don't notice anything that is harmful
You can go to amazon and search for some quick chargers, they usually have the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 logo on them.
I've done some research and came to the conclusion that this one is perfect; it looks nice, has fast charge, is an affordable price for a luxury item, and has great reviews. The problem is it's out of stock on Amazon and the official site just links to the Amazon page. It's on ebay but I'm not paying $50 for it.
http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-10000mA...id=1428598749&tag=androidcentralb-20&m1k=d_ac
Is there an alternative that has at least 10k mAh with fast charge? two ports would be nice, I saw another nice one with two ports but it only had AI charge which I don't know what that is and doubt it's as fast as the Aukey as the voltage didn't compare. I am admittedly a bit ignorant on the subject so I could use some help. I'm looking for an external battery pack I can carry with me on long trips that will give me 2-3 charges with quick charge. Thanks in advance for any help! will thank and all.

I dunno if the Anker 2nd Gen Astro E5 16000mAh Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank with PowerIQ has fast charge, but it definitely is larger than 10k mAh.
I did some looking and Poweradd™ Pilot 2GS 10000mAh Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank Fast Charging With Auto Detect Technology battery pack has fast charging on it and seems to have good ratings and is 10k mAh
I've been looking for an external battery pack as well, though I haven't jumped on it since I honestly wasn't sure if I'd actually get use out of it.
I would post direct links to these, but sadly I'm a new member, so I can't post links yet, which is a bummer.
I want that one in the op as well. I know a couple blogs have featured it, so maybe the company is just trying to stock up some more.
