[Q] Battery travel case

A friend has a blackberry, and he carries a few (i know) backup batteries. Getting past that absurdity...he has these small cases that the batteries drop into. They have a plastic door like lid, and have a micro usb port on them to charge the battery without it being in the device. Does anyone know if this exists for nexus one batteries? I've searched google images for a few minutes to try and find and example, but with no success. (I'll keep looking, and will post if I find one.)
I have my doubts, but this would be awesome to have.
Thanks All.

Id love to know and have also seen the blackberry ones, are the batteries the same size i wonder? I also saw a really cool flip on the go charger by dexo or something dca152 but i dont know if the nexus would fit?

I just took a look on their site. They do iPhone and blackberry. Seems the blackberry one charges though contacts on the back of the device. These would have been cool, but no such luck.

not exactly what you're asking about but...
the last two chargers i bought off ebay charge a 2400Mah nexus battery in 3-4 hours from 1% (dead) to fully charged, and have a usb port on the bottom also. So, if you carry a micro usb cable, you can charge two batteries at once (one in phone, one in charger) and then a third on another charger. at least you'll have three 2400 mah batteries charged in a few hours, and it's very difficult to burn through that much juice in a day.
even shooting HD video, you'll be swapping micro sd cards before batteries if you get a 2400 or larger battery.
the replacement batteries of stock size charge on my ebay chargers in about 45 minutes or less. just a reference.

Do you have a link to show which charger on eBay?

I've been thinking about something like this, so I can charge on the go without having to power off and replace the battery. The best I could come up with was v3 of the minty boost -> http://www.ladyada.net/make/mintyboost/

Choetech 10400mAh Quick Charge 2.0 USB-C External Battery

I received Choetech's new power bank today. Though this will be an unbiased review, I did receive the unit at a discount in exchange for my review. I just received it tonight, so it'll be a bit before I can get several charge cycles from it and give my full impression, so this post will be updated.
The unit itself is a good size, much smaller than the Ravpower though that is expected as it is half the capacity. This one is definitely pocketable, though you'll notice it since its rather thick and has some noticeable weight to it. It has two Type A outputs- one Quick Charge 2.0 and the other 5V/1A- a Type C input and a Quick Charge Type B input. The build quality is good; it feels like you could drop it a few times and not damage it. The faux silver chamfered edges look nice against the black, and even though the casing is plastic it has a good feel to it. Overall the build construction is good for what it is.
The big disappoint with this is that even though it has USB Type C, it is for input only. It makes us for this slightly by including a 0.5m A to C cable (which passes CheckR, BTW.) You won't get the fastest charge possible though. My phone was at 37% and I got a max speed of 1560mAh, which is to be expected with a compliant A to C cable. After taking a bit to ramp up the power held pretty consistent at 1400-1500mAh.
So far this seems like a nice power bank, but without Type C out there is not much to set it apart from the rest of the offerings. The only real advantage is that it can quick charge at 5V/3A with a Type C charger, but for us Nexus owners the charging is limited. The one USB A output is Quick Charge 2.0 compliant, so if you still have devices that utilize that you can quick charge them still. Choetech says they have a new bank coming out with Type C output, so at this point even though this is a well made bank I'd hold off buying it.

promised update: I used this to charge my phone overnight for 3 nights. the first I was at 18%, the second at 40% and the third I was at 32%. It didn't fully charge the third night, but when I woke up I was at 88% so it likely got slightly higher than that before draining back down. Overall good output for a 10k mAh bank, but I just can't get past the fatal flaw of no USB C out. looking forward to the promised revised version however, with proper USB C implementation this would be a solid bank for a little weekend trip where you only need a couple of charges

Just received mine today! Looks really nice and the size is good too.

heard back from choetech last night and they are waiting for stock of bidirectional usb c chips so they can start producing their new power bank

Dammit I just got this in, can I not charge from the USB C port?

I just bought the xiaomi power bank 2 , from someone's recommendation here and it works great , fast charging works perfect, nice price also

Samsung S8 has a 3000mAh battery, which is high capacity compare with other smartphones. That is means at least you should buy a 10000mah+ power bank which can charge your S8 above 2 times.
This is Luxtude quick charge power bank which is 13400mah, it can charge your S8 above 3 times.
besides，it is IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof, Shockproof
Amazon ASIN：B074167W1V

I've got a 20,000mah BEAST with 3 ports....all dishing out 2.1amp.
LCD indicator etc, the lot....not one of those cheapo chinese rip offs.....DAMN, the name of it has literally gon e outta my head this second..aRGHHH!!
Only cost £25.00
Charged my S8 Plus from 0-100% twice, my mother's LG G3 0-100% once and my Daughter's HTC Desire Eye 0-100% and still msaying 64% left..lol.
Love it!
Matt.

Anker 20000 mah one with fast charging is good.

Maybe you should look at this one
Luxtude 13400mah capacity power bank http://amzn.to/2uf6JJH
Smart Output/Input Quick Charge--It supports max 5V 2.4A output charging and charging 2 devices at the same time. And it also supports max 18W input charging, which could be fully charged in 4.5h fastest. Save your time maximally.
Compatible Well with 99% Smart Devices--Liberating you from various battery of devices when you go out. P67 Waterproof & Dustproof--It is the same level as iPhone 7, for ensuring to be used+ normally in any outdoor environment(jungles, rivers, Desert etc.).
Durable, Shockproof and Portable Design--It passed the professional drop test, which could even be used to protect yourself when confronted with danger. But it's lighter.
Top Class LG Battery--It could charge phones repeatedly with 13400 mAh capacity, such as iPhone7 5 times, iPhone6s 5.5 times and Huawei P9 3 times.

I have used Anker power bank and it charges my phone very fast (compared to other power banks) .. the capacity depends on your preference.
The important thing is that you need to make sure that the power bank supports Qualcomm Quick charge (which has the green port)

HTC U11 charging current drops very low when QC 3 kicks in

Hi
I have problem with charging on my U11 with the stock charger and my anker charger with QC3. If i use the normal ports without QC3, I can get 5v and almost 2A.

But on the voltage bumps up to 7.5v, the current drops drastically to 0.1-0.3a and it wont charge to 100% overnight. I am thinking my phone is having problem as it behave the same on 2 chargers. Any thoughts?
(The picture shows higher current because my phone is on and camera app is running. If phone is off, current is 0.1 to 0.3A)

If the battery is near full you won't get full power. It ramps down to prevent over charging. QC3 is dynamic charging and uses a negotiation routine.

While what you said is indeed true, that's not exactly the case the OP is experiencing. I say this because he won't charge to full even overnight. Sure, 99% to 100% takes slightly longer, but I believe it's definitely under 5 minutes.
OP, let me share my experience. I have one original HTC charger, one non-original HTC branded charger (half the price of an original, I don't care if it's a fake as long as the quality holds up), and a Xiaomi powerbank that supports two-way QC3.0 (meaning it quick-charges devices but can also be quick-charged itself).
1) The original charger and non-original both work perfectly, quick-charging my HTC U11.
If I charge this Xiaomi powerbank with a normal charger (5V/2A), it also quick-charges my HTC U11 almost as well as the wall chargers.
2) But, if I quick-charge the Xiaomi powerbank itself with a QC3.0 charger (18W), such as the two wall chargers mentioned above, then I have the same issue as you- namely that the powerbank becomes unbearably slow in charging the U11.
3) The way to fix this is to have the powerbank use up all its power then be recharged by a normal charger as in 1). Another way is use the powerbank to charge a normal device, one that doesn't use quick-charge. In both these cases the duration must be for over 2 hours, after which I suspect the "safety mechanism" of the Xiaomi will deactivate and make things normal. Obviously I'm not too happy with this powerbank so will be returning it shortly.
So OP you might wanna try something like charge your phone fully first with non-QC, and the same for your powerbank. Then try charging the phone again using said powerbank.

USB-PD 25W PPS Charger ?

With my S10+ and S9 before it, I had several multi-port USB chargers where one support QC 2.0 or better for fast charging. Other than the OEM charger, I haven't seen any other chargers explicitly support the 9V/2.77A USB-PD 3.0 PPS standard the Note 20 Ultra uses. I have seen some USB-PD 45W chargers that say in the footnites that they do not support the 25W standard so this makes me wary of others. Grateful for any experiences others have had.

Even I am looking for an answer to this. Anybody found anything?

There's a few on Amazon I've ordered, I will update when I try them out

I got a car charger that actually does pps. And also a battery tank as well. Both charge the phone at 25watts (super fast charging).
You guys only looking for wall chargers?

I'm interested more in a power bank if possible
