I've looked around with no luck. Considering that most of the "lipstick" ones must have a regular 18650 battery inside, the 3A output is *amply* inside the range of good batteries output (several manufacturers offer 18650 batteries capable of constant 10A output with 3.500mAh capacity, I hope that there are products like this.
Thank for the help.

There aren't many. Your best bet is the one that tronsmart makes. It's available from Amazon for 30 bucks.
I ended up going with the ravpower 20,100mah USB c bank, it sorta fits in my pocket.

I suppose you are referring to this: http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-presto-10400
While interesting is different from what I'm seeking. 6p has got a 3.500mAh battery, I would be good with a power bank worth one full charge. I come from a Note 3 and I always went out with a spare battery in my bag. Weight was less than 100g and size... well it's a Note 3 battery, I think the idea is clear. Now the "lipstick" shaped power banks are the right size and given their capacity it's obvious they have a 18650 inside... but I can't find any supporting USB C fast charging (5V/3A).
This seems interesting, too bad it's not buyable anywhere at the moment (not that I can find, I'm in Europe).
^That looks cool...

Yes it does. To be honest I'm surprised at the dearth of products on offer that support USB-C fast charging. It's been adopted on enough phones that I was expecting something more in the sub 10,000mAh range. Bringing a 10,000mAh with you is beyond the scope of even heavy phone use on a daily basis. Whereas I can see myself needing to top up at most one full charge during a day. For that, considering the loss due to efficiency, a 4,000mAh power bank would be enough for Nexus and other phones.
Let's hope that this LeEco power bank comes to US/Europe soon (or at least to websites such as GearBest and GeekBuying).
The official product webpage: http://cn.lemall.com/product/products-pid-1001514.html
I can recommend the ORICO 10000mAh usb-c battery pack.
It's not 3A, but 2.4A, however it still charges my Nexus 6P in about 1h 30m.
The good thing is that it supports charging two devices at the same time (one over the usb-c, and one over the standard usb port).
It also looks great, it's worth checking out.
I think there's a review of it here on xda.

So absolutely not what the OP was asking about then?
To the question actually asked, unless you can fit this beast in one of your pockets, I'm pretty sure there's nothing out there that will meet your needs..
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerC...8&qid=1481511899&sr=8-4&keywords=anker+type+c
after having this phone for about a year, the battery health has gone down so that it is almost always dead by 7-8pm now.. and carrying around a battery has become absolutely necessary in case I go out for dinner or drinks w/ friends after work...
when I have my bag w/ me.. the Orico is fine but when I'm going out w/ just a jacket.. I would like a smaller lipstick sized solution too..
Its frustrating that even after a year (and now w/ launches of the Pixels), its still so hard to find USB-C accessories :-/

Ever seen this one? It's size is manageable, it's a GMYLE 10000mAh and has a micro USB in, just in case you don't have a type C cable around
Thanks, but I really would like something that took the 18650 battery form factor and built a charger around it. I know their capacity, I know they are more than enough for whatever need I might have. Once I have a full charge with me I'm set. Unfortunately I'm not finding it... I might even accept to forfeit the USB C fast charging capacity if there was one...
I use this one and I love it. Also has a nice extra usb port so you can charge your 6P alongside another device, or charge a device while the battery pack charges. I get probably 3 full charges out of it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6HKP7E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Single 18650 requires voltage step up and won't fill the battery,biggest 18650 I've seen is 3400 mah. That is about the size of 6p battery but its not a 100% efficient process. You lose some from the step up to 5 volts and lose some to heat and some to resistance of connectors and cable.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/262640284381 ?
I use and love the aukey one. I think is around 15000mah. It's nice and slim. And it charges faster than my 3a car charger from aukey lol

Check out this one here. Although the Ebay website's description is incomplete, other websites clearly indicate the Aukey PB-Y5 is capable of 5V-3A output. Looks like the ticket for one full charge. Unfortunately they are not shipped from the US yet so I will wait. Credit goes to MrTemz.

Oh man, THANK YOU. Even better ('cause it saves me a little money), I found the AUKEY PB-Y8 which is only for USB Type C. In Europe, Amazon carries it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Cell-Pho...-Input-Output-Cable-Devices-Nexus/B01M0UEMYV/ (not only for UK). Thank you so much!

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.

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

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 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.

Hi,
I've just bought the Nilkin MagicTag Type C Wireless charging receiver for the Mix. Considering how long the battery lasts, I realized I could live with the slower charging speeds of a wireless charger. I have only bought the receiver as of now and I need to buy a couple of wireless charging pads\stands.
I've seen a lot of cheap ones on ebay but I understand that there are a lot of fake ones being sold on ebay which doesn't offer close to the promised output.
Can someone suggest a reasonably priced good quality wireless charger? Thanks in advance!

Get the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charger,whether it be the stand,or,the less expensive model that lays flat:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mo...s-charging-pad-black-sapphire-ep-pn920tbegus/
You can get these virtually anywhere for less than MSRP,however,ensure that what you're getting is indeed the Samsung branded one (lots of identical knockoffs that don't have "SAMSUNG" on the face of the charging base).
Also,some legit items are quite a bit cheaper as they may not include the charging cable & Samsung 2a adapter.
If you already have that,then the less expensive model(s) make sense.
Otherwise,read the fine print to ensure the cable & wall adapter are included.
Any 2a or above should be sufficient,but,don't expect high speed charging,due to the sticker you have not being able to provide it.

Apparently there are a lot of knockoffs with the Samsung logo being sold on ebay and Amazon. Its hard to determine whether the one we are getting is the real deal until we have it in hand and closely observe it. Check out these videos on youtube.
Samsung Real vs. Fake Wireless Charger
The only way to ensure that we get the real deal is to buy direct which costs around $50. Considering the Nilkin Magic Tag doesn't support fast charging, I don't think the 2A fast charger is any good.
Are you using a wireless charger? Is there a faster receiver available?
Since, this is my first time using wireless charging, does using fake wireless chargers cause any harm to the device? Like heating issues? Or is the only drawback lower charging speeds?

I don't use knock-offs of anything,if they're going to be deceptive about what/who they are,I sure as Hell am not about to encourage their shenanigans by rewarding them with my honestly-earned $$$.
With no regard for being genuine,I'm certain they couldn't care less about the safety of what they sell.
Also,the el-cheapos tend to be tempermental about charging,having smaller/weaker/fewer coils.
The Samsung chargers are discounted periodically,you just have to look around.
Regardless,you will pay a bit more vs knockoffs,but,you get what you pay for & believe me,w/wireless charging,it's worth it.
Otherwise,you might as well just plug-in the ol'school way....................
The only other brand I recommend is the TYLT stand:
https://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-Galaxy-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
It's not fast,but,is reliable.
They only real drawback for this one is the proprietary cord/adapter.

Thank you for the links. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't offer international shipping on the items you've mentioned.
For now, I've managed to get the Nillkin Magic Tag and a Nillkin Magic Disk III Fast Charge Edition.
I wanted to get the Samsung Wireless Fast Charger but they are priced ridiculously high in New Zealand and its hard to say which one is the real deal on ebay! They have even managed to create knockoffs with the cooling fan built-in making it almost impossible to identify the genuine one from the knockoffs.
So I got a reasonably priced fast charger from Nillkin which claims to support Fast charging on compatible devices.
Guess I'll have to live with the slightly slower receiver until something faster is available for International buyers.
Cheers!

here is what i learned. unless your USB C tag is also fast charge you won't see any difference.
i had both the nillikan and the one that i linked which claims fast charging. unless everything in your setup is fast charge you aren't going to see the difference. with just a regular nillikan tag and the fast charger it will be normal. you need to get a fast charge tag - check Ebay.

Yes. I am aware of that. I just bought the fast charger as the price difference between the standard variant and the fast charging edition wasn't much. Moreover the standard variant was out of stock when i ordered.
If at some point, a fast charging receiver becomes widely available, I can make use of the fast charge feature.
Till then, I'll have to adjust with standard wireless speeds.
All of the generic tags currently available on ebay and the Nillkin Tag only support upto 1A charging as mentioned by KOLIOSIS earlier.
So I thought I'll get the Nillkin one as Nillkin is a decent brand. Some generic ones don't even come close to the speeds they claim.

I don't use knock-offs of anything,if they're going to be deceptive about what/who they are,I sure as Hell am not about to encourage their shenanigans by rewarding them with my honestly-earned $$$.
With no regard for being genuine,I'm certain they couldn't care less about the safety of what they sell.
Also,the el-cheapos tend to be tempermental about charging,having smaller/weaker/fewer coils.
The Samsung chargers are discounted periodically,you just have to look around.
Regardless,you will pay a bit more vs knockoffs,but,you get what you pay for & believe me,w/wireless charging,it's worth it.
Otherwise,you might as well just plug-in the ol'school way....................
The only other brand I recommend is the TYLT stand:

It's not fast,but,is reliable.
They only real drawback for this one is the proprietary cord/adapter.

I can vouch for the TYLT stand. I have two of them and they work great. It's definitely faster than the other flat style charging pads I've used. I gave one to my son for his Nexus 6, and he loves his too.
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.

Check out AUKEY USB-C stick 5000mAh https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-5000mA...8&qid=1491078007&sr=8-23&keywords=aukey+usb-c
Cost is $20.
if you dont mind the weight in your bag, aukey pb-t10 20k mAh is not a bad choice
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.
