Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes it will. it will take 3:30 - 4 hours to fully charge from 0%. this wont replace ur power adapter but at least you can have few more hours of usage.

Ahh OK that's cool might give it a go if I need another battery pack
Sent from my blazing fast nexus 4 o yeah baby this phone is awesome

hmmm its probable.

They need to put this into a case that fits on the phone, it's the only way to get through a day of use...

I could have this in my wallet lol.

[Quick Review] Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger with QC 2.0

It's been some time since I've reviewed another Tronsmart product. I got this Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger as a review unit almost 3 weeks back and I didn't get enough time to write the review since then. On the brighter side, I'm using this for 3 weeks now, so I can probably be more precise while writing it now. So here it goes...
I'll be splitting it up in following 4 categories and talk about each of them one by one:-
- Packaging & Content
- Build Quality & Design
- Functionality
- Pros & Cons
Packaging & Content
Tronsmart has never dissapointed me in this category, so I do not have much to say here. It comes in one of those recyclable brown box with a printed cover wrapped around it.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On opening the box, you can expect the following items:-
- 3-port USB Wall Charger (TS-WC3PC)
- 1 x 6 ft USB Cable (20 AWG)
- User Manual
- VoltIQ Information Card
One thing to notice here is, even though it has 3-ports, it comes with only 1 USB Cable. So, if you're buying it, make sure you have that many spare cables to use it with.
Build Quality & Design
If you're one of those who can't withstand a product with bad finishing, you and I are no different. Luckily Tronsmart understands us and give its products the best quality in terms of material used and overall surface finishing. Here's a look:-
The quality is absolutely fantastic. What makes it even better is its folding type plug which also makes it easy to carry around. It has a green power LED. From the size perspective, it's very small, not OEM Charger small though, but tiny enough to hold it in your palm. Here's a comparison between a Samsung OEM Charger and the Tronsmart 3-Port Wall Charger:-
The in-box USB Cable is a 20 AWG (for high current flow), very durable 6 ft long cable which should do a descent job if the device is to be used while charging.
Functionality
The unit has 3 USB outputs out of which, only one port supports quick charge output at 12V/1.5A while the other two ports are powered at 5V/2.4A each with VoltIQ Technology.
While reviewing the unit, I connected 3 of my mobile phones simultanously to check it's output. First I connected the USB Amp meter to the Quick Charge output which is connected to my Galaxy S6 Edge+. The total power drawn was around 14.76W which is definitely an output we can expect from a fast charger.
Next, I connected the USB Amp meter to a regular port which is powering my Nexus 4. One of the reasons for using a Nexus 4 here is to validate how much current is drawn since Nexus 4 is pretty old device and as far as I've seen, it draws only upto 5V/1A even from its OEM Charger. Like we can see below, the total power drawn is just 5.05W which is almost equivalent to 5V/1A and this ensures me that the VoltIQ is not just a marketing gimmick. I also turned on the display of Galay S6 Edge+ to validate that it is utilizing the fast charging even with all 3 devices connected simultanously (See the Fast Charing in notification ?).
Now, everything was good till this moment except when I went pull back the charger from the socket after an hour, it was HOT. Not burning hot, but you'll definitely feel it when you touch it. Not that it affected any of my devices (none of the 3 devices heated up during charging). It's the same common problem with all the small multi-port quick charge adapters available (3rd party) on Amazon. I did contact Tronsmart regarding the same and they told me that since the adapter is so small, heat dissipation is slow and they assured me that their chargers have passed CE ,ROHS,FCC, PSE etc certifications of conformity and the temperature exhibited is within the safety standard range.
Pros & Cons
Pros:-
- 2 x High Power Output + 1 x Quick Charge Output
- Superb build quality
- Small size with retractable Plugs
- Long and durable USB Cable
Cons:-
- Heats up quickly
- Only 1 in-box USB Cable

Great wall charger horrible cigarette lighter charger. Won't stay in the hole in many cars.

Thanks for review

MobilePal Gen-2 10000mAh Universal Power Bank [Review]

Like the previous product MobilePal Gen-2 Wireless Charging Pad in m last review, I didn't pay for this unit; I got this as a review unit and I'm going to put my honest opinion here. Please consider this if you're looking for a power bank.
I do have several other power banks and to start this review, this one isn't very different. We are reviewing MobilePal 10000mAh Universal Power Bank. I'm sure you must have noticed the product listing on Amazon says "MobilePall" instead of "MobilePal" but I'm pretty sure it's the latter.
Anyway, we'll just split this up in following 4 categories:-
- Boxing & Contents
- Build Quality & Design
- Functionality & Performance
- Pros & Cons
Boxing & Content

Like any typical power banks, the box comes with the following items inside:-
- MobilePal 10,000 mAh Power Bank
- 1 x 2-in-1 Charging Cable (Micro USB & MFi Certified Apple Lightning Port)
- User Guide
Now, the charging cable do support iPhones and other Micro USB Phones, so you wouldn't really have to separately buy or carry around a long cable. MobilePal has found a very nice way to fit both the ports in a tiny USB Cable.
Build Quality & Design
As a 10,000 mAh powerbank, it's definitely smaller and lighter than any other powerbanks out there with equivalent capacity. The body is made of solid plastic with matte surface. Overall, the finishing looks great unlike some cheap products out there. The powerbank doesn't have any LED to show the charge status, instead they have integrated a small LCD display which is very cool. It shows the battery capacity in percentage and it also displays, which output the charging unit is connected to.
It has 2 USB Outputs and 1 micro-USB input. It also has an LED flashlight and a power button to turn on/off the flashlight and powerbank.
Functionality & Performance
I've been using this unit for like 3-4 days now and I must say that it did dissapoint me a couple of times but given the price, the performance and the quality is easily acceptable.
Before I started using the powerbank, I charged it to 100% using a Samsung OEM Charger and quite frankly, it charged pretty quickly compared to my other 10,000 mAh powerbank. I didn't get a chance to use the powerbank for next two days and it did hold up nicely too. Clicking the Power Button on third day, it did show me 100% on the inbuilt LCD Panel (with bright blue backlight). Once connected, I was able to charge my iPhone 6 Plus from 10% to 100% in around 160 minutes (2 Hrs, 40 Min). It is important to mention that both the USB outputs have different specification, the one on the left has 1 Amp while the other one has 2.1 Amp output. During my iPhone charging, I was constantly connected to 2.1Amp output. Now, I know that an iPhone may not charge at full 2.1A rate, but if it took 160 minutes, then I'm assuming the charging rate was at approximate 1.1A which is a bit dissapointing.
To check the output of both the ports, I connected an USB amp meter next time and charged the device back to full. For verifying simultanous charging of 2 devices, I connected my S6 Edge+ and Nexus 4 together. Here's a summary of the result:-
The result clearly shows that the 2.1 Amp output doesn't deliver upto it's claims although, my S6 Edge+ was charged faster than the iPhone (about 125 minutes). Another thing that I noticed is that initial drop in the % (displayed on LCD) is much faster but it gradually slows down. So do not worry if just after the first full charge, the value drops to 60%, it did hold up more than 2 times to charge my S6 Edge+ easily. Another good thing about it is that the charging rate isn't affected much even when two devices were charged simultaneously.
About the flashlight, there's nothing extraordinary about it. It's just a casual flashlight for emergencies, do not depend on it while going for a camping or any other dark places.
Pros & Cons
Pros:-
- Good Build Quality
- High Capacity
- Small in size
- Built-in LCD Panel
- 2 USB Outputs
- Built-in Flash Light
- 2-in-1 USB Cable
Cons:-
- Lower Output
- 1 in-box Cable
Overall, it's a decent power bank at a decent price. Even though this one is just 10,000 mAh, MobilePal has one for massive 20,000 mAh battery at just $30.

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?

Tronsmart is a new chinese company that emerged in the last few month and is seen more and more, while their main product line was android and windows based media boxs, they moved to chargers as well.
In The Box​The box itself is simple white looking, nothing fancy but i don't want it to be anyway... don't judge a book by it's cover or a charger by its box.
​
In the box itself we can find:
the charger
power cable
info papers
The biggest issue i have with this is the fact that Tronsmart decided not to include any USB cables with the charger, while most of the users will have their own cable, it's still something i would want to see, considering their other products come with a charger.
Specifications​The main feature of the Titan is the 5 ports that supports qualcomm's quick charge 2.0, not something you see every day with a charger.
model : TS-UC5F
Size:5.9 x 2.9 x 8.4 cm
Weight : 290 gr
Ports: 5 * USB QC2.0
Output: DC 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A
Power: 90W
Color : Black / White

This isn't the smallest of lightest charging station around, but it is the only one i know that has 5!!! QC2.0 ports, and while it might be considered an overkill (who has 5 QC supporting devices anyway?) it isn't one once you think about it, more and more devices support QC or QC compatible charging technologies (an Asus Zen2 worked with QC charger for me) and for someone who has many devices in the house this is the perfect solution.
Closer Look​The charger itself in my case is black with rough finish on the top with only the sides and the logo smooth (and attract finger prints)
In the front we find 5 green USB ports that match the green led indicator on the top right side of the charger.
On the bottom there are 4 small rubber legs that prevent it from moving on the table and on the back we find the power port and ON/OFF switch.
Charging Tests​I did my tests with both my note 4 and 5 with the 4 being my "old" device and was tested without a working sim (so no interruptions) compared to my "new" 5 that was tested while having a sim.
I used BATTERY LOG to log the charging state and time.
well, with the note 5 we can see that more or less both the original samsung "quick charge" and the Titan do the same great job having in both cases charge the device from 3% to 60% in 35 minutes, a bit over the claimed 0-60 in 30minutes but this was a "live" working devices, still good in my book.
The note 4 tests (with 2 small issues... started at 5% and missed 70%) we find a big difference after the 60% mark, with 10 minute difference at 70% and almost an hour at 100%.
In both cases the Titan work as well or even better then the original charger.
Final Words​While not everyone need a 5 port QC charger, it is still something that is good to have if you own several devices at home, that fact that all of the ports are QC2.0, this tech in getting into more and more devices so we might see if more often later on.
for the current price of about ~38$ it's not the cheapest charging station but far from being the expensive one with the fact that it has 5 ports and a 90W behind them.
The Good
5 ports
all of the 5 ports QC2.0
stable
price
power switch
charging performance

The Bad
big
comes without cables
i give it a solid
9.5/10​
