[Q] Emergency Battery Charger

Hi Guys,
I am looking for an Emergency Battery Charger for Desire HD.
Mainly i want something on the cheap and light to carry. Here is what i have found. Please help me, which one should i buy:
1)350MAH EMERGENCY BATTERY CHARGER
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/350MAH-EMERGE...sAccessories_PDABatteries&hash=item27b565b877
2)Proporta USB Turbocharger 1200
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proporta-30...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1289178938&sr=1-1
3)USB 7 In 1 Emergency Battery Charger 48000mAh (Not sure if this will work)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-7-1-Emerg...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item35ad2b52c4
4)1500mAh Extended Backup
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Extended-Back...709?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item45f6a04fa5

the first one seems rubbish, only 350mah? and the output current is half that of a usb port.. i don't think it will even charge your phone at all and probably only slow down the battery discharge.

I've found this one:

It'll arrive today so I can say how it works only this evening.

i bought the first one (it was really cheap) and have it on my keyring with my keys, yes, of course it only slows down the battery dying, what did you expect? it is a tiny battery for EMERGENCY use, not a backup battery that can fully charge your phone multiple time for god's sake!
anyway, from 15% battery it charged it to 80% in about 35 minutes

Not a particularly cheap option but I use a Powermonkey Traveller. Although it was relatively expensive it can charge 'almost' anything with it's range of adaptors. It's seen me through many a smartphone, PSP, DSi, camera emergency!
Just my thoughts...

the product says: "You can charge this charger by USB or Sunlight."
USB ... >> OR << ... Sunlight ?
what does that mean? if the battery charging through sunlight i'm not able to charge the phone? Or won't it be possible that the battery charges throught sunlight while the mobile is charging ?

thanx =)

For six quid you can't really knock it, sure it's not the most powerful of devices but it serves a purpose. just ordered one myself
Also looking at this, more to cover my travel time on flights between London and Moscow where I'll be giving my DHD some serious welly...

It means that the external battery can be charged by USB or sunlight: I've tested that if it's charged by USB in daylight is more rapid to charge it.
If the external battery is attached to the phone, the phone charges itself and if the charger is under sunlight it charges itself.

thanx =)
and will it only charge under sunlight or maybe in the room too ?

i bought one of these a few weeks ago. its excellent.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nokia-N900-Em...PDACharger&hash=item1c16b48938#ht_2503wt_1139
massive 5000mah battery (charged my DHD twice and still had juice). only thing it its quite big and heavy. works well though and if you have 2 USB cables you can charge 2 devices at once. came in useful when my girlfriend forgot her charger when she stayed over. definitely not something to carry in your pocket, but for leaving in a bag it cant be beaten.

How about this one? It's looking exactly for emergency

Hey man, did you complete your work or even start whole trade of yours

Not the cheapest but will charge almost "anything" and it has a 5000mAh battery, go to Amazon and search for Veho VCC-A007-PBP Pebble.

I use this 5000mAh battery pack. It works very well, I get about 4 full charges from it and is able to charge 2 devices at the same time.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-Uni...dible-Blackberry/dp/B000NDQ92W/ref=pd_cp_ce_1

I bought the 4th one - 1500mAh Extended Backup. It works well enough for me. I get more or less a full charge out of it.

[Q] Rapid Charger 2.0

Does any one know if the charger come with the M9 is the Rapid Charger 2.0 or just a normal charger?

It comes with normal charger. Rapid charger 1.0. My m9 from 0-100% in two hours

Does anyone know if these chargers have any negative effect on the battery over time?

the iVoler car charger, I just bought this to try it cause the price was low and the reviews said it was quality made. This charger works exactly as promised. And the 6 foot USB cable is of good quality and really nice. It also fits into my m9 with a nice click, and fits well around my case. I will definitely buy more of these!

They will lead to battery at higher temp.
Mine Charges at approximately 2.5A I observed battery temp reach 43C before charging current was lowered until temperature came back down.
Likely to lead to slightly reduced lifespan .
No concern to me as I typically change phone every six months. Even to owners who change every two years it probably won't be noticeable. Good advice is to charge overnight with normal charger and use fast charger only when needed .

I have the original charger and the rapid charger from the nexus 6 and I can say the nexus 6 charger does charge my phone a lot faster than the HTC provided one.

I'm tempted by the rapid charger 2.0 but I'm not sure, because charging a battery more faster it reduces the battery life. What do you think?

I have the same charger but it doesn't charge any faster than the stock one.
Perhaps it's disabled in T-Mobile version?

Dang, that's fast. I don't really have a need for it to be that fast, since I sit at a desk and wirelessly charge all day, but that is great that that is an option

Find a fast charger, any recommended?

Stock from HTC direct (Digital River) works well.

I own the Aukey Quick Charger, which also works pretty well with the M9:

I use the samsung fast charger from the note 4 or s6 and use the motorola brick from the nexus 6. I recommend the nexus 6 brick.

I will receive my techmatte quick car charger and keedox quick wall charger tonight, will let you know

I just got one of those too, and it's great. Wish it wasn't so big, but it does the job.

I just picked up a couple of Anker dual-USB wall chargers. They have higher amperage (2.4A) than most standard chargers and on both USB ports simultaneously (many dual-USB chargers lower the output when both ports are in use). Between the better charging times, the dual ports and the build quality, I'm very satisfied.
The Anker charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge tech looks even better, but I don't have any experience with it personally.

Show me the link and experience, thanks!

i have the htc rapid charger 2.0 and the aukey rapid charger (+the 10000mah external battery quick charge)
both work really well. if i knew about the aukey. i woulda originally gone for that first

Quick review of the Keedox Quick charger 2.0:
Well it has the official logo of Qualcomm Quick charger 2.0 printed on it but I kinda find it as slow as the stock charger from hTC :crying:
Tested from 45% to 100%
Till 80% it's amazingly fast with 20% every 10min but once over 80% it's slowing down, from 90% to 100% it's extremely slow like 1% every 5 mins
It took 75 mins to charge these 65% while it's supposed to charge from 10% to 100% in an hour (80%)
So we are pretty far from the advertised +70% faster charger.
Take in consideration that I am using Viperom 2.2 for the time being based on 1.40, these Roms are known to have bugs with charging time, so I am waiting for the upcoming Leedroid based on OTA 1.40 Rom to be sure this charger is crap and give a negative review on Amazon.
I am still waiting for my TechMatte car quick charger, my sis still didn't finish to empty her 2 suitcases, girls...
I don't think it's a matter of cable, I am using the same USB 2.0 cable that I used back with the Quick charger of the S6 on the S6, it was charging the S6 from 20 to 100% in 50 mins.

The Aukey quick charger I have does the same type of throttling thing once it gets around that 85% mark. I haven't paid enough attention to my Droid Turbo charger to see if it does the same thing. I figured it was just a safety feature of the Aukey charger.

So these are quick charger only from 0 to 85% !! The S6 stock charger on S6 was also slowing down at 85% but it wasn't that slow, the results were certainly faster.
Again I can't give a definitive conclusion about the Keedox before I try a stable rom based on the official latest OTA

The slowdown at ~80% full is the expected behavior to be easy on the battery. I find the quick charge most valuable when I am about to leave home and I can use the last remaining minutes to cram some juice into the battery. Main charging happens overnight for me without any need to hurry.

The slowdown >90% is behavior I have seen on every phone I have ever owned. It is a safety feature to avoid overcharging the battery. Overcharged li-ion batteries have been known to explode and catch fire, after all.
It may simply be that HTC is more conservative with its batteries than Samsung is.

Hmm ...
Now this makes sense ... Now I get why my charger works lil slower above 85% ...

Updated Viper Rom to 2.3, the Keedox charged my M9 from 34% to 94% in a matter of 35 mins

Thanks!

It looks like the htc m9 is slow with quick charger 2.0 anyway, gsmarena posted a 2h charging time for 0 to 100%.
So my Keedox is not bad after all

Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 10400mAh Portable External Battery Fast Charger

I have had and used this on my Droid Turbo, worked great thought I would have no problem using it with my Pure Edition.
http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...400mAh+Portable+External+Battery+Fast+Charger
Now that I have the Moto X Pure I plug it in and it shuts off about 10 seconds after. anyone else have this problem?
EDIT: thats weird seems to be fine now. Wish i could remember what i did to fix it. I was messing with this way and that.

Nope still not working with my Moto X Pure Edition.
Will see if they replace it.
It works with other Quick charge phones like Nexus 6 but shuts its self off about 10sec after turning it on in the Moto X Pure.
I see a few of you purchased this item does it work for anyone else?

They must have changed something on the charging port. I have the nexus 6 too.
I have Android auto, the cord that works for my nexus 6 doesn't work on the moto x. It will flash the debug icon then shut off repeatedly.
But the turbo charger cord from the nexus 6 charger does work.
I know kinda off topic, but I think it is a similar issue.

Other than the Moto X issues, is this a good quality item? It looks like it's made of metal, is that so?
Wait...is this a moto x cable issue or a moto x issue?

This is a 2015 Moto X issue. I have seen other threads in other forums posting this problem (not just me). I did try different cable and same result. I think it because of the wattage.
I email Aunkey about this and no response yet (been 1 day)
This worked very well for my Droid Turbo and yes its metal

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for contacting us.
Because we have no this phone to have a test, and we can not figure out if this phone is incompatible with this item. So we can only give you a full refund for this item. We are afraid a replacement can not solve this problem..So please feel free to tell us if it is acceptable to you.
Waiting for your reply.
Lyn
They offered a refund. I'll take it
I instead ordered this : http://smile.amazon.com/Quick-Charg...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1442498147&sr=1-22
Will get it tomorow and report back if it works

Okay so I got the Anker Power Core 10050 battery pack quick charge from Amazon today. I opened up the package and plug the battery pack in the phone, it started charging right away for about 20 seconds and then shut off. I unplugged the battery pack and plugged it back in the phone had no idea it was plugged in and ready to be charged, so I pushed the button on the battery pack and it charged for about 30 seconds and shut off. I grabbed a battery pack that is not quick charge and plugged it into my phone and it was fine continue to charge. I plugged back in the quick charge battery pack and it continued to charge for about 15 minutes I looked over and it was shut off again. started the battery pack again went and took a shower and now it's still going looks like it'll make 100% from 60%.
I would challenge anybody that has this battery pack or the other battery pack to try and plug it in from at least 30% battery and let the thread know that its ok or you're having the same issue.

Just curious...what kinds of cables are you guys using? I'm guessing the Pure is sensitive to quality cables since the stock charger is attached.

Do any of you have the older Anker or other external battery packs where it charges? the Anker IQ is suppose to charge the phone at its highest speed. I have two of these and wonder if I would have issues with these or if its just a Quick Charge issue.
With the Anker IQ, charging my LG G3 is pretty quick. Quicker than using the wall unit.

I think it's just a quick charge issue. The battery quick chargers are useless for the pure since they shut off weather you want it to turbo charge of not, you get nothing, no charge

For those who are having issues with the Aukey/Anker Quick Charge battery packs, might as well just get the IQ which seems to charge just as fast and with no issues.

All the basic Anker battery packs come with IQ charging which adjusts the charging speed based on how fast the device can charge. I use it to charge my LG G3, iPad Mini and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10". Has no problem charging one or all 3 devices at the same time.
BTW, you'll need a wall charger to help charge the Anker at a decent speed - http://amzn.to/1YnYYMj
My MXPE is stuck in customs

Highly doubt whether Quick Charge is working. (Sample battery history)

I'm using an Anker Quick Charge 3.0 charger to charge this device.
Meanwhile thanks to the QI technology I also charge my Galaxy S6 and iPad mini with the same charger.
The funny thing is although A9 have the smallest battery capacity it charge the slowest, like, 1% every minute, which is ridiculous.
I wonder anybody else experienced similar problem?
Oh by the way the battery life is far from satisfactory, I'm a heavy user who look at my phone every 10 minutes, I need to charge it twice a day. To be honest, S6 is a great phone, it's more vivid screen and wireless charge always make me feel a big mistake to switch over, although it doesn't have Android 6.0 . sadly I really need latest Android badly so I cannot stick to it.
Attaching a screenshot of battery history here, just for reference.

Quick charge 3.0 will be available via a software update, right now it only supports quick charge 2.0 out of the box.

Why would you switch from S6?

I'm a developer. I need to run my apps on Android 6.0 . Not only in emulator but as my daily drive.

Just tried my Aukey charger at 40% to 80% in 29 mins

I early pre-ordered an A9 in red. It of course won't be here for a while. I too use Qi charging a lot and am now contemplating either an S6 or a Note5 or perhaps an LG G4 modded for internal Qi.

Experiencing same problem. Bought a QC 3.0 adapter, I only got from 6% to 43% in 32 mins. Even at Quickcharge 2.0 speeds, 1.16%/minute seems pretty slow especially when compared to the advertised "0% to 60% charge in 30 minutes." (Lies.....)

Are you charging in power saving mode?

Yes, are you supposed to turn it off? I think when the phone reaches a certain percentage of power it automatically turns power saving mode off.

How can you tell what mode you're in? How can you tell if you're in Quick Charge? I thought one of the feature in Marshmallow is it will tell you when you're in Quick Charge or normal charge. I saw that in Nexus 5x and 5p but not in the A9. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on?

When you plug the phone into a charger, it turns Power Save off automatically...been doing this since the M9 or earlier.
