Can anyone any sleek 2amp current battery packs to purchase?
I know I can just pop in a spare battery, but looking for one of these as well.
Sleek would be ideal.
TIA.
PowerGen PGMPP12000 12000mAh External Battery Pack
This is the pack that I use for when I go camping, it has a 1 amp and a 2 amp outlet. This company has several other chargers of different capacities. I picked this capacity for the high capacity and dual phone charging. Two thumbs up from me!
I have the PowerGen 12000mAh as well. Love it, I got it on groupon goods for $49!

Has anyone tried any of the external battery solutions available out there? I've read that the Kensington one is good, but it's only like 1200-1400 mAh !
I've run across a few on Ebay that are running 4000-5000 mAh - great for multiple charges!
Anyone have any feedback on any of these?
I have used a few different ones over time. I currently have an Energizer pack with a 4000mAh capacity.
I recently saw a a 40,000mAh pack at Radio Shack for around $120. I almost bought it, just on general principles.
Anyway, yes, the portable packs do work well. But remember that the mAh capacity of the pack doesn't translate 1:1 to charging capacity. The battery in the pack is only a single 3.7v LiPo cell, and the battery in your phone is ALSO a single 3.7v LiPo cell. These packs use a switching regulator to boost the output voltage, which means that the cell will be discharged faster than you might think. If you want to fully charge the battery in the Triumph, you should try to find something with at least 2000mAh capacity.
One of the more interesting solutions I've seen at the Sprint store was an integrated charger. It had a USB jack, a short micro-USB cable, and an AC adapter all built-in. So you could basically use the thing as a USB wall charger, then unplug it and take it with you when you expect to need a little extra juice on the road.
Personally, I'd like to see more portable Lithium-based packs that can also put out 12v for larger devices. Ideally, I'd love to be able to power my phone and a portable speaker system all from a single battery pack. Perhaps someone will get smart and build a box to house and adapt the 2-cell rechargeable packs used by RC car enthusiasts...
I purchased a 1500mah Anker battery off Amazon for $15. Works great!! Much better than 1380mah stock battery

Wow those are a lot of money for nothing. FYI external batteries like this charge through USB so that 2000mah 3.7v Li battery has to be converted to 5v. In the end you are paying $50 for about 1000mah of juice.
There are a lot better alternatives like the 3000mah external packs - cheaper and more mah, but still doing voltage conversion as they are USB, or just get a spare battery or 2 and swap them out. A 2 pack of good batteries is about $20 and you get the full 2600 mah.
I have a spare Anker 2600 mAh batter that I've been using which came with the Anker wall charger, however I'm not impressed by the quality or rate of charging. Do you guys have any other alternatives for travel/wall chargers for spare batteries?
Thanks,
Anything that delivers a true 2A (2 amps) is all you need. Search this sub-forum for titles including the word "charger" and you'll find a few recommendations.
I had the anker that came with 2 batteries and the wall charger but HATED the charger. Ended up getting the oem Samsung extra battery plus charger. Charger is nice because it isn't attached to the ac plug. Plugs into wall has like 2 foot wire then you can rest the external charger on a flat surface. Yeah more expensive but realisticlly I don't need more than 2 batteries and the quality
of the charger is superb.

I have the same Anker charger. That things takes a long long time to charge
batterys.
However I have gotten used to the 10hours+ charge rate. I heard its a lot more gentle on the batterys.
One of my original Samsung batterys failed and I had to get it replaced using the 2 amp charger.
What are the specs of the charger?

Well it looks like this does not have removable battery, which is a small issue for me. I'm using to swapping up to 3 a day. Anyways, what can anyone recommend for a quick top up, etc. other than the standard usb battery packs?
Thank you!
a thin solar case would help here in California, I think, do they even make those?
This
This does have quick charge, and a good size battery. But not being removable when you can get to the back of the phone is a slap on the forehead indeed.
Best bet is probably a 2 amp power bank. They are cheap enough now days.
I have a quick charge 2.0 powerbank. It's by choetech and it has 15600 mah. Check it out on amazon. It qualifies for prime shipping.

I'm going to go with the Anker PowerCore+ 10050. It's small and has QC 2.0, but only 10000mAh.
I haven't found the quick charge to be all that "quick"
I have a 5200mAh back up battery pack on hand that I got for ten bucks. I don't know the brand. Never have needed to use it but I figure it should be enough of a back-up boost for my needs.

Hi guys
I wanted to ask which powerbank capacity do you recommend for the note 4 for at least one full charge ? I bought one from deboch 6000mha but I will send it back because its too big.
I've just ordered an Anker Astro 5200mAh:
https://www.anker.com/products/A1211012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frhehPIqFKE
It seems that you actually get at most about 75% of the stated capacity from a powerbank (see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz4arPh-ch8). Even if you only get 66% of usable capacity from a 5200mAh Powerbank (as the video suggests), that should give approximately 3400mAh which is enough to charge a Note 4 from 0% to 100% (battery capacity of a Note 4 is 3220mAh).
The Astro 5200 is very pocketable at 5 x 3.4 x 1.7 inches, comes with a net travel pouch, and a USB cable, but I bought one of these tiny USB cables to use with it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131876034528
You need a powerbank that holds a larger charge than the battery of your device in order for it to get a complete charge. I'd suggest getting a power bank with at least 3500mAH capacity.

Much more pocketable and guaranteed one full charge is a spare battery! Only downsides are you can't be a good Samaritan and share and you can't use it on your next gadget

Yea, I have a spare battery too, and an external charger - I like to keep my options open, but it can be a bit of a nuisance removing my UAG case so sometimes a charger is handier.
terratec powerbank p4. used it at my holiday trip and holds the phone at full power more than whole day long using pokemon go ;D.

RAVPower's 20100mah has been great for me, and includes Qualcomm Quick Charge and USB Type C support: https://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cer...qid=1471276085&sr=8-2&keywords=ravpower+20000
xiaomi 20.000 mAh will be the best : )

OP is looking for something SMALLER than a 6000mah Deboch, so suggestions for units over that size won't do. I've received my 5200mah Anker Astro E1 (mentioned above) and can confirm that it fully charges my Note 4 with a little to spare. It has a 2A output so charges quite quickly. Very pocketable and highly recommended, probably the best size/capacity ratio for carrying in your pocket:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-5200mAh-Portable-External-Technology/dp/B00P8SY7HQ/
Having used a few Anker, revspec and kasmish. I know i spelled most of those wrong. But they are all in the 10k mah range.
All of them will easily charge your battery 2-3 times. However some claim 2A but just isn't as fast. I much spend a little more money on a Quick charge 2.0 certified one. Quick charge 3.0 is out for a handful of new phones but the note 4 doesn't support it and most are lik the $50+ range.
Get a QC2.0 small 10k and your covered til the end of the phone life. They will run you $15-30. They are roughly double the size of your note 4 in thickness and thats it. If you can pocket your note 4, you can pocket the battery. But i normally pocket the battery pack and hold the phone. I keep it in the bag tho.
This to me is the best and future proof method. A spare battery is the fastest to go from 0-100 but w/o a spare battery charger, it could be annoying as well as it only works on the note4.

Xiaomi 20 000 mah. It has fast charge
If that's just for your phone, get a spare battery or two. Preferably with an external charger.
If you got your Note4 when it came out and use it regularly, your battery is probably significantly degraded by now or is starting to do so. So buy that new battery.
If you intend to do so, stay away from those cheap "Samsung" batteries on Amazon or eBay. These are all likely to be fakes or rejects. Either buy real (expensive) ones in retail packaging or reputable third party brands.

Anker powercore+ 10050 has qualcomm quick charge and is the perfect size. Amazon has it in a package with the anker wall charger that charges extremely fast. I now have Anker chargers for everything electronic in my life. Anker for life
