Hello, im looking for a good portable power bank without solar charging (or with if it doesnt effect the price) and around 20-50k mAh capacity.
I'd like to not spend more than 20GBP and the product to be certified for safety reasons, im not feeling well to walk around like a jihadist
Thanks
If however, you have a long trip planned or lots of devices to keep topped up, then take a 20000mAh Power Bank. All the portable chargers featured in the list have a minimum capacity of 20000mAh and are capable of charging most phones over 10 times.
I like the easyacc 20000 power bank, coz it has increative two input, which can save half time for me to recharge it. And the four outputs with the smart technology, just like the anker IQ technology. It means whatever devices do you use, it can get you best power. So good for fast charging.

The Zerolemon 20,000 mAh solar power pank is currently listed for $47.78 but if you use the coupon code Z36GZOGN at checkout you can get it for $19.99. The reviews are good and you can't beat the price. I just purchased one for backup but can't directly give you a review since it hasn't been delivered yet. You can find the battery here...

The best charging banks are...
Anker PowerCore+ 10050: The World's Smallest 10000mAh Portable Charger with Premium Aluminum Shell and Qualcomm Certified Quick Charge 2.0 Technology (Black)
or
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 10400mAh Portable External Battery Fast Charger (16.2W / 5V 9V 12V Supported, Quick Output) for S6, S6 Edge - Silver
The first one is very small for the size and battery mah, it has quick charge and top quality batteries
I'd highly recommend the anker powercore+ 26800
it has 3 ports, 1 that supports quick charge 2.0 (also known as Adaptive Fast Charge) and a 10-stage charge indicator. comes with a nice cushy mesh bag for carrying. 26800mah
on Amazon if you scroll down the page a little there should be a promo code to take off about 25% of the price. in the Specials and Promotions section
edit: DO NOT buy Aukey, they play tricks with the advertising on how much power they can put out, and operate components higher than they're designed for.

yep that's the one! highly recommend it. also I would suggest getting the Anker 6ft. gold plated nylon charge cord because the one that comes with the power bank is very short and won't tolerate much abuse from an incident like taking a full force tug from a hefty power bank being tugged further than the cord will reach. you'll want a tough charger.
I've liked the RAVPower Car Jump Starter power banks. I got one over the holidays on special and the dual purpose has saved me in a few different situations of either dead car or phone battery.
I own the AUKEY PB-T1 10000mAh with Qualcomm 2.0 support for input and output! That's a stunning power bank, highly recommended!
But today I would buy an "Quick Charge 3.0 RAVPower TURBO 20.100mAh Powerbank Qualcomm QC 3.0 Technologie USB-C/Type-C (5V/3A)" With two outputs and Qualcomm 3.0 input and output. Samsung Note 4 only use Qualcomm 2.0 but Qualcomm 3.0 is backward compatible with version 2.0.
Qualcomm 3.0 input should give the power bank an extremly fast charging time (30 min is advertised by the manufacturer).
Just wanted to chime in.
I got an EasyAcc Quick Charge 2.0 20,000mAh Portable External Battery
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0142925GQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_u6k1wbQPDTWJ2
I love it! It has enough power to fully charge my phone and tablet every night for about 5 days. I recently went on a week-long business trip and I used it to charge my phone, tablet, 3DS and Vita. I only had to recharge the battery once the entire week.

I don`t think you would be able to crank it long or hard enough to do any damage. My HTC hero and now my Desire S both require quite high power to charge properly so I would be surprised if it was possible to get any useful charge into a modern smartphone with a hand generator.
I have tried several of the (cheap)emergency chargers that run on AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries and none so far have been able to deliver more than a 20-30% charge before the voltage or current drops too low to continue.
The best solution I have tried for time away from the mains so far is a New Trent 5000mAH rechargeable battery pack from Amazon. They also do an 11000mAH version. These have 500mA and 1A USB outputs and claim to be able to charge an Ipad. My 5000mA one will do roughly 2 full charges plus a top up which is useful for a weekend away from mains power.
The price is however MUCH higher.

1A output.
Huge accessories packed with pouch.
But, my Desire S charges only to 78%

A Good Charger from Ebay
I have a charger that can fully charge the Desire S battery, costs about 10$ on ebay, so far the phone battery is still at 100% for a few hours with normal everyday usage, i find it good enough for me.
The charging rate is about 300mA and not 500 or 800 as published.
It would be wise to buy a micro usb female to micro usb male extender cable.

This is the device that I used to do some underwater charging with the Samsung Galaxy S5. If you want to see that, please go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741481
Moving right along. I've used a lot of RavPower usb power banks. When I used to go out to the field a lot or traveled overseas, these things were super handy. Some of them have ridiculous capacities. I setup a hotspot for a group of 5 people in London for an entire day with a portable charger and HTC One X back in the day.
The RavPower 2 in 1 offers much less capacity than some of their other products, however the 4800mAh capacity will give you at least 1.5 full charges. This should get most power users through the day.
The QI charger has a little cool factor, but it is really useful. Say you go to lunch and want to put it on the table and charger it while you eat. There you go. Now you can. Plus you can check notifications, e-mails, etc without having any cords. Charge rates are reduced, but even at around half the charge rate vs the OEM cord it does an adequate job.
It can also be used as a replacement for a normal bed side QI charger. Just plug it in and it basically acts like a normal QI charging pad.
There's still a standard USB port present. Output for that is 1 full amp.
Not all of their power banks come with a charger since they have a common MicroUSB input, however this one does.
Most of their products are available on Amazon. This one is $56.99 shipped currently on Amazon.

Does it heat up really badly?
Not really bad, but just like all QI charging solutions, heat is a byproduct.

Thumb up for RAVPower. Got several of their portable battery chargers. Works great! And my favorite is the ravpower luster 3,000mAh that comes with a flashlight. Very handy. It worths more than it costs.
Hi everyone, I'm gonna change the USB board of my i-9505 which now is too much ruined by using Chinese cables for too long. I'm looking for 2 good cables(one around 2-3 meters for my powerbrick and a shorter one for my power bank), which can easily support 5V 2A, and maybe compatible with the latest quick charging technology (if it doesn't affect price too much). Moreover I'm searching for a good power brick capable of 5V 2A or 5V 2.4A and a big good quality power bank (around 15000 or 20000 mah) capable of 2 or 2.4A and quick charge compatible, again if it doesn't affect price too much. I've heard about Anker making good products...what could you suggest me, or what are you currently using?
For the cable, you should really get one of those thick ones. They allow more current to pass through.
Best cables:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Charg...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I have a bunch of these and I use them in all my chargers.
As for a power brick, I have an 18000 mah brick but it's way too big. The product I ordered doesn't existing on Amazon anymore so I can't share a link to it.
It is similar to this model: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M6VA7OU?psc=1
I just got a smaller power bank because the 18000 was way too big and heavy for normal use.
This one is small and light enough to carry in my back pack all the time and it works great. I've used it to recharge by phone 3 times before it needed to be recharged itself.
http://www.amazon.com/Emie-Memo-000...1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
For cords, the "Anker" pacsks avail at amazon work great. (sorry i cant post links). They sell many different lengths and quantities.
Power bank - Anker Astro E5 16000. Great price with Panasonic cells
Hi guys
I wanted to ask which powerbank capacity do you recommend for the note 4 for at least one full charge ? I bought one from deboch 6000mha but I will send it back because its too big.
I've just ordered an Anker Astro 5200mAh:
https://www.anker.com/products/A1211012
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frhehPIqFKE
It seems that you actually get at most about 75% of the stated capacity from a powerbank (see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz4arPh-ch8). Even if you only get 66% of usable capacity from a 5200mAh Powerbank (as the video suggests), that should give approximately 3400mAh which is enough to charge a Note 4 from 0% to 100% (battery capacity of a Note 4 is 3220mAh).
The Astro 5200 is very pocketable at 5 x 3.4 x 1.7 inches, comes with a net travel pouch, and a USB cable, but I bought one of these tiny USB cables to use with it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131876034528
You need a powerbank that holds a larger charge than the battery of your device in order for it to get a complete charge. I'd suggest getting a power bank with at least 3500mAH capacity.

Much more pocketable and guaranteed one full charge is a spare battery! Only downsides are you can't be a good Samaritan and share and you can't use it on your next gadget

Yea, I have a spare battery too, and an external charger - I like to keep my options open, but it can be a bit of a nuisance removing my UAG case so sometimes a charger is handier.

RAVPower's 20100mah has been great for me, and includes Qualcomm Quick Charge and USB Type C support: https://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cer...qid=1471276085&sr=8-2&keywords=ravpower+20000
xiaomi 20.000 mAh will be the best : )
http://xiaomi-mi.com/powerbanks/xiaomi-mi-power-bank-20000mah-white/
OP is looking for something SMALLER than a 6000mah Deboch, so suggestions for units over that size won't do. I've received my 5200mah Anker Astro E1 (mentioned above) and can confirm that it fully charges my Note 4 with a little to spare. It has a 2A output so charges quite quickly. Very pocketable and highly recommended, probably the best size/capacity ratio for carrying in your pocket:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-5200mAh-Portable-External-Technology/dp/B00P8SY7HQ/
Having used a few Anker, revspec and kasmish. I know i spelled most of those wrong. But they are all in the 10k mah range.
All of them will easily charge your battery 2-3 times. However some claim 2A but just isn't as fast. I much spend a little more money on a Quick charge 2.0 certified one. Quick charge 3.0 is out for a handful of new phones but the note 4 doesn't support it and most are lik the $50+ range.
Get a QC2.0 small 10k and your covered til the end of the phone life. They will run you $15-30. They are roughly double the size of your note 4 in thickness and thats it. If you can pocket your note 4, you can pocket the battery. But i normally pocket the battery pack and hold the phone. I keep it in the bag tho.
This to me is the best and future proof method. A spare battery is the fastest to go from 0-100 but w/o a spare battery charger, it could be annoying as well as it only works on the note4.

Xiaomi 20 000 mah. It has fast charge
If that's just for your phone, get a spare battery or two. Preferably with an external charger.
If you got your Note4 when it came out and use it regularly, your battery is probably significantly degraded by now or is starting to do so. So buy that new battery.
If you intend to do so, stay away from those cheap "Samsung" batteries on Amazon or eBay. These are all likely to be fakes or rejects. Either buy real (expensive) ones in retail packaging or reputable third party brands.

Anker powercore+ 10050 has qualcomm quick charge and is the perfect size. Amazon has it in a package with the anker wall charger that charges extremely fast. I now have Anker chargers for everything electronic in my life. Anker for life
I'm looking for a quick charge power bank that would be comfortable to carry around in a pocket. Preferably one that supports USB-C. There doesn't appear to be very many options.
Here's a slim USB-C power bank that I really like the design of — https://www.ravpower.com/10000mah-portable-charger-Type-C-black.html — but there's absolutely no mention of quick charging. It also has a great warranty — 18 months that can apparently be extended for a lifetime.
However, this is the only one I could find that explicitly mentions QC 3.0 support, has USB-C, and is pocketable — https://www.amazon.com/Portable-ROMOSS-10000mAh-Resistance-Qualcomm/dp/B072X5PCV8 — but I'm not familiar with the brand and it would only be a 12 month warranty with that unfamiliar brand vs an 18+ month warranty with a more familiar brand.
Is the Romoss the one to go for or are there other options? Will the Ravpower still charge my phone quickly or should I stick to something that explicitly mentions QC?
Alternatively, I could just not worry about USB-C and go with Anker, who I'm pretty comfortable with and then I'd have a couple more options – either https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Upgraded-PowerIQ-Samsung/dp/B01NBQX0O5 or https://www.amazon.com/Upgraded-Anker-PowerCore-Qualcomm-Portable/dp/B01JIYWUBA. That would lead me to another question, though. Which is more pocketable and comfortable to carry? Compact but thick or tall but slim?

Ok, that's a different thing.
That looks good, minus the fat design. For me personally, batteries that are thinner are preferable.
I keep a 6-port USB charger on my desk along with six different USB battery banks ranging from 3000mAh to 23600mAh. Most thin USB batteries that are "pocket-friendly" are going to be in the 5000-6000mAh range max, but my daily driver for USB battery charging is the 10000mAh Anker two-port charger with QC 3.0. It can charge my LG V20 from 10% to full in 1h30m a minimum of 3x before needing to be recharged itself, and it's only about the size of a pack of cigarettes and fits in my pants pocket next to my phone easily. My largest USB battery bank is so large you could actually beat someone to death with it and then connect the car charger alligator clips to jump-start your car and then drive home.
