Portable battery options, found a cheap 8800 mAh one but will it charge a nexus 9? - Nexus 9 Accessories

Duracell Powermat GoPower Longhaul backup battery
it says it charges phones and tablets, but some comments was referring to 2.1a on top port, my questions is if i were to buy something like this can it charge a nexus tablet?
i figured at least for 11 bux and 8800 mAh its a good deal since it is duracell, but don't need another one if it cannot charge tablets, I have some cheap no name one that for some reason stop charging tablets when it drop below 75% figured it would be a good time to invest a few dollar on a new one.

Yes

I'd buy something like this 10,000 mah external battery:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009USAJCC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
From Anker and costs about $26 USD right now. I've been using one for my Nexus 7 (2013) and my S3 for over a year. It should charge up that 6700mah batter in the Nexus 9 with no problems.
Or for $40 USD 15,000mah http://www.amazon.com/15000mAh-Portable-Ultra-High-External-Motorola/dp/B00D5T3QK4/ref=pd_sim_cps_22?ie=UTF8&refRID=1WTQY82HGAXJ9YGBN3BY
and there's many many other versions of similar capacities & prices. Just read the reviews for the good ones.
Enjoy!

I've had GREAT luck with Anker brand devices. They're top notch in my book.

OP, the one that you posted is very expensive. There are much cheaper options that are not nearly as expensive. I would investigate the Anker or TechMatte external power banks- those are the best products for the most reasonable price. Since I'm still new here, I can't post links, but I would strongly advice either of those two. My husband has the anker one at his desk, and I have the techmatte one. We both really like them, so I would say that either works well.

Found a discounted Rav Power 13000 mAh on Amazon. New here so can't post link. Just search for: RAVPower® 3rd Gen Deluxe 13000mAh External Battery Portable Dual USB

Power banks/portable battery chargers

I was thinking on buying one and was wondering if anyone can give me an opinion/review on any
thanks in advance
I have the New Trent NT120T. It's the highest capacity I found and works well. It has 2 USB ports to charge 2 devices simultaneously. They also have smaller ones available that would be more pocketable.

im a little bit skeptical about these Chinese brand batteries, im afraid that they may provide extra current to the phone and burn the phone
I have the 5000mAh battery backup that's On monoprice for like $27. Has 2 USB ports, one at 1 amp for phones and another at 2.1 amps for tablets. Really nice build and charges my Nexus 4 fast. I def recommend it.

I have an Anker SlimTalk 3200mAh with which I'm very pleased. Slim, lightweight and it has a built in USB cable which means you don't have to carry another cable with you, although I wish the cable was just a little bit longer. Very good value for money.

Another NewTrent owner. But I have the 10000mAh one. Not too thick and charges quickly too. This one has two usb ports as well. I got this on sale at Daily Deals for $50 bux.

USB External Battery

I am planing to buy an external battery. I will be happy to obtain one full charge for my Nexus 4. In fact, I only get without charge by the end of the day, when going back home, but since I have 1h by metro, it would be nice to be able to use my phone there. But since I am buying, I would like to have as much as I can (and 1 full charge seems reasonable to me).
I am looking these two:
First:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-BATTERI..._Batteries&hash=item20ce1e7c77#ht_3806wt_1346
Pros: it is only 8,69 €
Con: It is 2600 mAh (barely over the Nexus 4 battery, so I am not sure whether it will fully charge my phone or not)
Second:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-BATTERI..._Batteries&hash=item564ff32d35#ht_4794wt_1346
Pros: it is 5000 mAh, so it should do the job
Con: costs the double 17 € (not expensive though).
(there are other colours, I just liked the greens ones)
So, any suggestions? Have you seen other usb batteries with similar prices/charges?
I couldn't find a thread detailing the most convenient portable usb battery chargers, so we could start it here (or please, post the link to the respective thread)
Have you check DX.COM? They also have a lot to choose from with different charges. If you don't mind the wait, might be another option. I bought my MOMAX Portable 5600mAh Li-ion External Battery w/ LED Flashlight from them(cost is US $41.20) Not sure about the shipping to Europe, but to Canada is free)
Thanks! The shipment is free to France also, and they have similar products to those I saw in ebay (which comes from Hong Kong, so it won't be any faster).
I think I will go for this one Multi-Functional Portable External 5200mAh Battery for iPhone 4 / 4S / Samsung - Black, which is only 11,22 € and one good review.

I don't think you will go wrong with that. Even if it's just 4400mAh or so, it is still 4x the charges of N4. I just received my N4 yesterday, so couldn't tell you how many time it will charge with Momax. The reason I go for that specific one is due to they use Samsung battery(You can see their box have a sticker saying "Cell made by Samsung')
Thanks again. I just order it (11,59 € with free shipment to France)
I've just got delivery of a 12000 mAh portable charger. Will update on it's effectiveness when I've had a chance to test with my N7 & N4.

glad i found this thread... had been debating of paying too much for a mophie but i think ill be finding something on dx.com
i just bought an Anker astro3 for £25.99 from amazon uk.
10,000mAh @ 3Amps total output from 2 ports.
it's about 10% bigger and heavier than the N4
i also have the Tecknet 7000mAh / 2.1A equivalent which is about 20% smaller/ lighter than the anker
and a just mobile pp08 4400mAh /1a which is about 1/2 the size/ weight of the Tecknet

Can you give us your impressions about them? How many full charges do you get?

not much to say really. they all do what they say on the label. i find myself using the "just mobile" one the most on account of its small size and get ~1.9 charges out of it; and the others proportionately more according to their rating.
the 2A+ current rating (and dual outputs) on the bigger packs i find useful for charging tablets, cameras etc. simutaneously.
great products, you can't go wrong with any of them really. hope this helps.
I got this one for Christmas: http://amzn.com/B005K7192G
So far, I really love it! I can charge my Nexus 7 and my Nexus 4 with it and still have son juice left over. The flashlight feature is kinda handy (it never hurts to have an extra flashlight!) And I like knowing how much power is left. The versatility of being able to charge any USB device is cool too. It charges pretty fast too. I can plug it into my phone, stream internet radio and listen to it through my bluetooth headphones and it still charges the battery on the phone! Overall, its just super handy to have (I didn't have any kinda backup power supply before).
Good luck,
Billy

Battery Power Banks ?

Hi guys,
is anyone using any of these when out and about.
Are there any reviews or recommendations for some good battery cell manufactured chargers.
there is so many on ebay and amazon, its hard to tell which ones retain charge and are good quality and which ones are cheap rubbish
I don't know how it will work out in terms of long term reliability, but I have this one:
EasyACC 12000 mAh
It seems to work pretty well. It charges as fast as the stock charger on the high output ports per the Samsung Galaxy charge app thing. As you can see...460+ reviews and 4.5 stars so there is some evidence that it is a good product. It was highlighted back in May on Android Police so I picked one up.

I have the New Trent iCarrier which is 12000mAh but I don't use it for my phone... I use it for my tablets. It works fine for me. It has two USB ports which is nice if I need to have two things going. Not sure how long it takes to charge... I've always just left it plugged in overnight when needed.
Anker makes exceptional products for the price.

I got one that is similar in specs as a gift and it has worked as advertised. I will probably replace it an Anker in the near future. You can charge your S4 relatively quick with any of the 2A chargers. These things take forever to completely charge though. Mine only has a 1A input, so It'll take around 10hrs to go from 0 to 100. If that isn't an issue, any battery pack should do.

There is some information about power bank, you really should read it before purchasing a power bank.
I bought the anker holiday 4 pack. Absolutely love the astro3e 10000mah. I was so impressed with all 4 I purchased the slim2 and it is by far my favorite anker product. I carry it with me every day. I love the built in cord.

Where to buy an external charger and spare batteries (UK) - advice

I've just bought a used N910F and wanted to get myself some spare batteries and an external charger. I've just moved up from a Note 3 and previously, an S3 LTE and had multiple batteries for both, with external chargers and I'd like to get the same for the Note 4.
I'm based in the UK and so I'm somewhat limited to what products I can get hold of. I'd like to get one of the Samsung external charger but I was wondering - as these are just running from the mains charger that you're using to charge the phone, is there any issue buying one of the non-Sammy, generic ones? I'd assume that the charger takes care of any overcharging issues - is that correct? If anyone has a link to any cheap genuine Samsung units, I'd be very pleased to have a look. I found one for £30 at Amazon, but it's a 1-3 month wait!
As for spare batteries, I've always gone for the Anker batteries and found them pretty good, and it's looking as though that's the only option for me at the mo - Amazon have them for £14 shipped where as the Powercell units are over £18. Any genuine ones for around £20? I'm not about to waste my money on the ebay cheapies!
Thanks for your time guys! :fingers-crossed:
Amazon buy anker,mpj,etc
I just recently purchased a standard Samsung battery from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VIK5DOY
Although there are cheaper options, I made sure that I selected the one that was sold by Amazon themselves on the basis that they are very unlikely to sell fakes - the one I got for £10.63 with next day delivery on Prime certainly seems genuine to me.

Thanks for getting back to me with an actual product. How is the battery holding up? I'm really happy with the Anker one I bought - I'm getting about 1.5 days of moderate use and 5+ hours of SOT between charges. I don't use NFC at the mo so I don't know if this supports it, but as things stand I'd be happy to get another one or two. Does anyone know how to tell if theses "genuine Samsung" batteries are indeed, genuine? I remember reading up on it when I had the Note 3 and it was really tricky visually.
What about these external chargers - anyone had any experience of the non-Samsung ones?

The battery works fine for me, and is a definite improvement on the tired genuine battery it replaced.
Well, I've bought, what's labelled as a "genuine samsung extra battery kit". It's currently charging the enclosed battery in the external cradle. I'll try it in the phone to check if the NFC works to be sure that the battery is a genuine Sammy one, but any ideas on how to check the charging cradle?
Just bought a replacement battery direct from the Samsung UK site - £25 but worth it for the peace of mind. Free delivery.
EDIT: Ordered at 5:00pm, it's now the next morning and my battery has arrived - great speed for free delivery! (Now, if only Samsung could get their firmware updates out as fast!)
EDIT: Genuine Samsung packaging (with the window on the front of the box, and a plastic container for the battery) and manufacture date of last month, so fresh off the assembly line
I've just charged up the battery that came in the "kit". Appearance wise it looks identical (but dont most of them?!) but I just tried it with NFC and that worked - I thought the fakes didn't have the NFC chip - or have some of them started adding it or have I just got a genuine one for a really good price?!

What's a good somewhat cheap qc battery bank for the 6p?

finally upgrading from my dying g3 of Many Many problems. I carried around like 3 batteries for the thing though and I won't be able to with this phone of course. i know it doesn't use any qualcomm qc tech so that's why i'm here; are there any smaller capacity banks that'll charge the 6p somewhat quickly? looking for small because small + cheap and i'm poor (saw some other threads, they all mentioned that expensive and huge ravpower battery, thats not something im looking for). thanks
I keep this in my backpack for emergencies.

Considering the battery life on my 6P has turned to absolute crap, I carry this (Amazon link) around with me most of the time. Works great, easily gives me 2 full charges for the 6P.
