I have seen people believe only the Huawei own branded power bank or battery pack is compatible with the Honor 8 fast charging technique. But after searching online, that particular brand of battery packs is not available in the US market or nearby countries. Am I missing something on some unfamiliar website for the brand, or can I use any 9V/2A battery pack for the phone?
Got an answer from the CSR:
You can purchase a fast-charging power bank via VMall: https://www.vmall.my/honor-10000mah-quick-charge-powerbank. This is the best option for an Honor 8 smartphone. You can also browse Amazon for other third-party power bank products, but be sure you confirm its compatibility with Honor fast-charging devices.

Again, the site is from Malaysia and it's not clear to me how can I tell if a power bank compatible with the fast-charging technique of Huawei.
You can only get fast charge if you use fast charge compatible huawei or honor branded power bank. The one you quoted does indeed work. I got it as a set with my phone. Included is the specs from the packaging. The model i have is called AP08Q. In Malaysia, only the 10000mAh powerbank support fastcharge.
Of note, you get slightly faster charge (not fast charge) if you use other 9v 2A capable charger like QC3 compatible powerbank but its not as fast as huawei official method.

Since it's not available in the US, I further searched over Aliexpress. The Huawei fast charger power bank is available there. Also, if searching 9V 2A power bank there, I have found a bunch other brands. Maybe this one also works? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...89659d45a0cf19adb-1485865070262-01407-6mia6uv
Or this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...2782541120.html?spm=2114.40010308.4.90.ew9NhW
I coundn't comment on that. I have only tried my honor 8 with anker qc3 powerbank and xiaomi powerbank pro. Both support 9V 2A charging. I could not get the fast charge indicator on the screen. From Ampere app i found that those other powerbank give slightly higher amps and voltage than standard 5V2A charger
I always use powerbanks from Romoss.

Any good powerbank out there. At least a 10000 mah above.
To be able to use fast charging feature in Note 4.
Actually that sounds like it would be really cool if it exists, I'd also be interested in knowing if there's a powerbank that supports quick charge. I've held off on picking up a powerbank for a while now, but if something like this is even possible it would probably get me interested, it'd be pretty awesome to be able to just plug in to a backup battery and have it charge up the phone with quickcharge speed ;P I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's not possible though... Anyone know?
Think the dual voltage 5 and 9 volt needed for quickcharge wil be a problem to design a powerbank with a feature like that. I don't say it's impossible but probably won't be cheap or small formfacfor
Yea. Is cool if fast charge powerbank then bring out to fast charge note 4. Lol.
There is this compact power bank (and it supports quick charging itself within 3 hours - via 2.1A input - at least on paper)
APE MP5200Q on Alibaba (not aliexpress)
Weight: 132g
Input: 5V/2.2A
Outport: 5V/3.5A,9V/1.5A,12V/1.5A
3 output ports: 2 USB ports and 1 built-in micro USB cable
Over-charge/discharge, over-current,short protection
Quick Charge output port: output 9V/1.5A or 12V/1.5A on Quick Charge state
Battery Cell type: Samsung Li-ion 18650
Quick charge 2.0: Class A
and it looks good too!
the only missing thing to make it a perfect power bank, would be 15W wireless charging capability...
Please everyone do say what Power bank you have
& how much time does it take to fully charge a Drained battery
So we know which charges how many times, Once or twice or more ....
Thank you all
I have aukey quick charge the silver 10400mah model its charge lg g4 same as qc2.0 wall charger I have mah meter
I also have an aukey but the PB-T2 model 12000mAh. Have quick charge USB outlet and also a normal 1A USB outlet. Has a 2A microusb input for charging an a so-so LED light built in. A bit heavy and slightly longer than the Note 4 in size. Cons: I would have preferred a 2.1A instead of the 1A USB outlet for fast charging other non quick charge devices.

As above Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 external battery packs are pretty good. They do them in different sizes and go above 10000mah
BlitzWolf looks good.
banggood.com are doing pre order, to be sent out 20th November.
From a store rep..
We use the newer chip FP6600 that not only supports QC but also standard fast charging, the Aukey does charge at QC speeds with their THY100 but will not fast charge other devices such as your iPhone at fast speeds. BlitzWolf's newer IC provides compatibility beyond just QC devices. The battery of the BlitzWolf is is LG and also of a higher standard than Aukeys domestic Chinese brand batteries. In terms of safety and compatibility this is one step ahead of Aukeys 6 month old version.

Hmm... we have Note 4's a removable battery is more compact and supports quick charge. Just have to get a battery charger that supports it. There would also be less power loss because it would be more efficient than transferring energy from one battery to another. Just my opinion.
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 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.

Will let you know how it works when I get it.
Ps. Make sure you order model no. AP09S and NOT AP09Q (which only has Fastcharge and not Supercharge)
Looks very nice, please update us when it arrives.
IT works!!
Shipping was quick from China -- Less than a week.
Power bank is well constructed and has really nice feel to it -- Easily slips in to pocket.
Connected to phone at 35% and within 33 minutes it went to 85%. Really impressed!
Says that the actual power bank can be super charged also.
Comes only with a short 5A cable (no plug)
Definitely recommend!

Neither can be delivered to the US according to the site
Nor can it be delivered to Canada !
What's up with that ?!!!
Remember, look for the SUPERCHARGE option and not just the QUICK charge which has a different product number. See OP.

Well ya the AP09S model is the supercharge model but then the problem is you have to charge it using Huawei Supercharge adapter for the 22.5 W speedy charge.
Have you tried to charge it with 18W adpater, what is the speed of recharging it.
'm using the AP09Q model. I can recharge the powerbank using any model of 18W adapter.
Is there any way to buy it in europe?
Στάλθηκε από το SM-T820 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
Ordered mine in Aliexpress on 30th of January, arrived today in Tenerife, Canary Island, Spain.
Works great.
But as mentioned before you`ll have to look to the "S" Version, that´s the only one with Super Charge, the "Q" is only Quick Charge

I think, due to safety regulations of the Airlines its difficult to order Powerbanks with delivery via Air Cargo.
Tried to order a 20000mAh Xiaomi but they refused Transportation and cancelled the order.
See info here:
http://www.mi.com/sg/pb20000/
Many Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA) permit lithium-ion batteries that do not exceed 100Wh. The 20000mAh Mi Power Bank is rated at 72Wh, which is in line with most aircraft regulations. Please check with your local CAA regarding battery restrictions on flights.

I think you missed the OP's point of getting the SuperCharge "S" model over the QuickCharge "Q" model. It was so you can charge your Mate 9 Handsets at SuperCharge rates.. and yes sure you can charge the actual Powerbank with a SuperCharge adapter which is a bonus, but if time is not important to recharge the Powerbank itself then using a normal adapter would just take longer to recharge the powerbank.
Does AP09S support pass-through charging?
Basically, when the charger is unplugged, the adapter runs in 5V mode, which is safe and good. But when the tablet is connected, then it is upgraded to 9V mode. any USB devices connected with a splitter on the charger wire will receive 9V also! This near doubling of voltage could cause devices to be fried, so make sure your Huawei power adapter isn't powering any hubs!!
YouTube demo video coming soon, overvolting a fan!
Good catch!
Thanks for sharing.
I thought charges and/or device ports had a regulator to control input voltage?

Most electronics with a USB port will only be rated for say 5v, or maybe 6v to allow for naughty USB power supplies. 9v is nearly double 5v, and on sensitive low-tech chargers, like resistive ones that charge 18650 or whatever, you could expose the battery to a much higher voltage than what it should have, which could cause an explosion or whatever. I used a fan since it should be able to handle the extra voltage quite happily.
What do you mean fan?
Used a fan to cool what?

There is not problem at all. Qualcomm charge technology and USB 3.1 do the same. The charger and the device negotiate what voltage they want to send the same power but less current (more efficient). You are not supposed to o what you did, it your fault and not from Huawei.

what I was getting at is that if you were to use a splitter, like I did, then be careful, as the voltage might raise. This is not a concern most of the time, but it's good to just be careful.
My OnePlus 5T and it's dash charging only works when these 3 conditions are satisfied:
Dash charger
Stock OnePlus lead
Nothing else plugged in
otherwise it will default down to normal. It's a shame that this didn't happen on the Huawei charger, but hopefully this means that it will be easier for implementation for powerbanks, I can't find any dash charge power banks. And also apparently Huawei phones usually play nice with other chargers. (USB-C power delivery I'm not sure on this device).

I am just annoyed that Huawei do not use QC or USB-PD standards and I must use their charge to charge fast. I do not mind the 9v as my QC devices charges fast on the Huawei charger but not the other way round, forcing me to either change all my chargers or carry an extra charger.
Not sure if you are talking about FCP for in or out of powerbank, I have a Tronsmart powerbank that supports both QC3 and FCP out. It also supports QC in, which means it MAY charge faster with the Huawei's stock charger. I had not tested it that way yet but I think it should as the Huawei charger charges my other QC devices at QC speed.

Yeah no dash charger power bank, at least there is a Huawei FCP one like you said, I might get that as my next one, but I've got a lovely EC technologies powerbank, and that only does 10W no matter what, shame really as it is 82whr (massive!).

Luckily (for me at least!), I do not normally carry my M5 around and therefore do not need quick charge on it. Even if taken on holiday, it can charge overnight in the hotel. However this put me off Huawei (and OnePlue, Oppo and any other brands that do not use QC standards) for my future purchase.
Wow, I didn't realize how bad this bites. MediaPad was my first QC3 device. Used it's charger in my bedroom. Then got a LG v35 QC3 phone last week to replace old Nexus 6P (USB C-PD). So excited to see the Huawei charger fast-charging both devices. So irritating to now realize that the LG QC3 charger won't fast charge the M5!
And Huawei is using a proprietary QC3 charging mechanism? ie. are there any compatible chargers on Amazon or only the charger from Huawei will fast charge the M5?

Sorry, Huawei does not use QC standards but their own FCP/SCP instead. QC chargers will not fast charge Huawei gear but Huawei charger MAY charge QC gear fast.
So if I plug my M5 into a standard QC3.0 charger (9v I think), does it at least charge somewhat faster than a standard, non-QC charger? I would assume so. And are they're any 3rd party fasxt chargers compatible w/Huawei's dumbarse proprietary QC3 charging?

No it doesn't, as confirmed by a V/A USB meter. It will only top out at 5V/2A.
I repeat again, Huawei does NOT use QC3 technology, but FCP/SCP technology. If you are looking for a charger that can do both QC and FCP from the same socket, read through the tread again as I had already posted a brand and model that had been tested and confirmed to do both.
Ah, sorry, me dumb and had in my head that M5 was QC3. Now I get it -- FCP, not same as QC3. OK, I see your link and several other chargers compatible w/QC3 and FCP. Thanks!

I had used USB PD adaptors on the M5 before and it charges fine, but not quickly.
My Pad (M5 10.8 WiFi) charges via USB PD with 18 Watts using the 9 Volt Profile. What doesn't work is Quick Charge. Power delivery works fine

But get a good one that supports high wattage.
Some cables only transmit 5 watts
Meaning 5v and 1 amp

Hey guys, as we all saw, the new note 20 charging specs isn't as good as the old one coming up to 25W rather than 45W.
But as for my past experience those on-paper specs aren't exact accurate and sure never fully explained.
unfortunately I don't own note 20 (yet?), so I can't share my highly detailed tests that I usually do, but those of you who own it and can share any data of test please write it down here.
Try to measure any of the following details:
* what charger(s) are you using? (Name / output powers / Power delivery version / etc... picture of the specs on it will be sufficient)
* what voltage and ampere (or watt) are being used (hold it few seconds to let it settle, it also should vary on the current starting point battery level, and wether screen is on/ off) (the more details you bring, the better)
* if you got no power meter than charging times could also be usefull (0->30, 0->50, 10->20, etc..)
after we get some tests here I'll sum it all up in a google sheets (like these: example1, example2, example3)
and after that we can get some recommendation of what 3rd party chargers are best to buy
If you are like me and like plugging a charger in every corner you probably want something good, with high speeds, and original is always more expensive than 3rd party ones so why not knowing the specs first.
Also we might find out that some charger can charge even faster than the original 25W one (what about 30W,45W,65W PD 3.0 chargers? what about PD 2.0? 1.0? etc..)
Your contribute will be highly appreciated!
I have an N9860 from Hong Kong. Normally I am happy to slow charge and have my charge settings set that way. Today, as an experiment for this discussion I enabled fast charging and super fast charging and connected to a 60W PD/QC4+ charger via a USB-C monitor.. The charger is branded Klearlook and was bought from Amazon in the UK a couple of years ago.
The phone is receiving/demanding only 15W at 9.2V, 1.6A. That is from 13% to 44%.
I removed the monitor in case it was interfering with handshaking protocols and it has had no impact on remaining time to full charge (now 58 minutes remaining at 46%.
Using the same charger I disconnected the PD cord and switched to an 18W USB-A port without a monitor. No change to remaining time to full charge.
So I'm getting fast charging, but not super fast charging from my combination charger - a charger that will happily run my Dell XPS 13 laptop from the PD port.
So then I unboxed the supplied charger and cord, previously unused. With the monitor attached I'm seeing 18W - 9V at 2A - and the phone says super fast charging, briefly, with the screen off and only the charging information displayed.
I'll just carry on as normal with my slow charging to 80% (thanks Accubattery) since that suits my needs perfectly well and should hopefully minimise battery degradation over time.
Thank you very much for that highly detailed measurement and review!
Results are pretty disappointing, your charger should have be good scenario
Hopefully (but doubt it) maybe others would find better results

The fact that maybe your PD QC4+ does not support PPS (the only way to enable 25W charging on Note 20 ultra or 45W on Note 10 plus).
Confirm that your charger does support PD with PPS protocol.
Yes, it's a bit annoying (to say the least) that note 20 is slower (downgrade) compared to Note 10 in terms of charging speed.

I have no idea about PPS - never heard of it until now. The charger is no longer available from Amazon. I bought it in August 2018. Maybe it predates PPS. Anyway, a Google search found what appears to be the same product here....

Yeah, no mention of PPS anywhere, only AFC on the 3 non-USBC ports (limited to 18W).
And you are right Note 10 and S20 (the ones using PPS - 25/45W are 2019 phones), so the power supply being a 2018 product may lack the latest protocols.
I have a Note 9 (2018 product) and no ”Super fast charge“...
I had the same problem (bought a 45W car charger), just to find out it lacked PPS protocol, so no 25W or 45W charging speeds. I Had to return it, and carefully search for an updated version (more expensive) supporting it.

I have several chargers I use, but without any real testing, it feels like my 45w charger from Samsung is the best experience. I attached my charging log screen shots. 1%-100% in 1hr 13min. I get the super charging icon through the entire charge. I will try the same test with the 25w charger and see if there is any difference. It feels like it charges just as fast as my previous note 10+ 5g, which is why I got this charging block in the first place.
