External Battery

Has anyone bought a portable battery for charging? Ideally something that supports Quick Charging.
The smallest one I've found is this one:

5200Mah. 3.9x0.8x1.9 inches 4.7oz

I bought a choetech, 10400mah qc 2.0 compatible both out and in so it charges itself fast with my qc 2.0 charger too

Yea i use my xiaomi powerbank 10400mah that i bought from gearbest for like 15 bucks but things like that are always handy for gadgets so i would get 1 fast

I bought an Orico Q1 . It Costs me about 98CNY(about 14 US dollars).But i guess the efficiency isn`t very high.

I bought the Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 QC, which is 10,000 mAH and QuickCharge 3.0:

It's the best capacity to size ratio I could find with QuickCharge, and plenty of juice to charge a few times, or multiple devices before needing to recharge it. Luckily the Z5c has such great battery life I very rarely come close to needing it, but good for traveling and piece of mind.

Hey,
I use this one for my z5c :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B645YYK/
20000mha, quick charge 2.0 (I don't think the z5c support QC 3.0) , and airPower (love this feature of AUKEY)
Maybe a little big, it depend of what you want, but it work perfectly.

Unitek 60W 5-port USB smart car charger with qc3.0

Anker Powercore 20000 QC 2.0 or Anker Powercore 26800 QC 3.0

Having troubles deciding between the two here. Smaller 20000 Powercore offers Quick Charge 3.0 for future proof, I do plan on upgrading every year to the newest flag ship phone. But the Powercore 26800 offers better design, bigger battery, and quick charge wall adapter capability. I was leaning toward the 26800 for the design and bigger battery but the Quick Charge 2.0 limit might come back and get me with Note 8.

What would you guys recommend?

From my understanding, the difference between QC 2.0 and 3.0 are minute.
IMO, I wouldn't worry about it and get what you like.

I had the 20k mah and it was good but it doesn't have quick charge. I so have the 26k one and its good. Big but good. I also have 2 10k mah powercores. Both great, i carry both daily.
They come in handy like it has been for me here in Puerto Rico. Most if the island has been without power for ovwr 24hrs now due to a power plant failure

dunno quick charger 2.0 is good enough. both seems to charger the same on the note7 speedwise. The only bonus i see to quickcharge 3 is it doesnt seem to run as hot.

Can I charge my Vernee Apollo Lite with a 3.1a charger?

Hello,
I've bought this little guy to charge my phone in my motorcycle, and it outputs 5V 3.1A:

Can I safely use it to charge my Vernee Apollo Lite?
While searching the matter I found two opinions:
A) The phone will only drain the necessary amount from the charger, thus the higher amperage doesn't matter, as long as the voltage is equal.
B) The phone will be "addicted" to the higher amperage and won't charge properly with the regular charger anymore.
Which one is true?
Thanks!

From my experience, when I use a fast charger (has 2.1 Amps compared to 1 Amp from regular chargers), on a phone that does not support fast charging, it makes no difference. Only the phones that can support fast charging will utilize the fast charging charger. So it would make no difference if you are using a higher amp charger. Option A is your answer.

Alternative N910 Battery Charger

Hi guys! Greetings
So since my phone hasn't able to do fast charging (and I did all possible available options, like use new cables, change the charger, changing the new flexy charge, clean the stock micro port USB on stock flexy charge, checked the settings to turn on the fast charging, bought a new battery with same capacity, and so on). And all these options don't solve my issue, I even went to repair shop which they only replace the flexy charge to a new one (they guarantee it is original and not some chinese-look-like).
But I had in my mind that something on my IC is damaged or has a faulty power management. Maybe. I've had discussion last month in this forum too. I'm frustrated with normal charging like I should wait for six hours to complete full battery. The math didn't do the right thing. If 3220 mAh divide by 1667 mA (I got this number from a stock Samsung charger), it should be around 2 hours. But apparently, I've come up with a new idea. I bought a desktop charger which comes like this:

}
It needs to connect through an adaptor that outputs 1A. And connects it into the desktop with micro USB. It's practical and easy to use. It's a good accessories.
My questions is:
1) Do you guys know alternative charger that similar in this photo? Maybe that could output more than 1A. Or any other option, so I could charge my battery without plug it in my phone.
I don't like use extended battery that exceeds capacity of a stock battery. I fear that it could damage my phone for some reason
