I am looking for a battery case (yes case, I don't want any external battery pack) that has decent protection and supports QC 2.0 when charging the phone thru whatever pass through micro usb port there is on the case. I don't really care how fast the battery in the case charges, I just want to make sure that I won't be shafting my quick charging capability by putting on such a case.
Did you find one? I came across this, FYI:
"A 5 Volt battery (which all of them are) isn't going to give you a quick charge, so none of them are. You need 9 Volts to quick charge using Samsung's method. Give iit time and companies like Anker will probably come out with special packs for Samsung."

I need one too
Incipio's Offgrid supports Quickcharge 2.0 passthrough. http://www.incipio.com/cases/samsun...-extended-battery-case-samsung-galaxy-s6.html
So does this one: http://www.amazon.com/PowerSuit®-Ex...pebp=1437159482332&perid=1639MSQ5SW0SPDAQVBRA
@RedXXII - that is freaking AWESOME! I battery case that 1) allows Adaptive Fast Charging pass-through, 2) allows NFC comms, and 3) PROVIDES FOR USE OF STORAGE CARD!! GENIUS!
I didn't see where the second one allowed pass-through, but I'm knackered so I may have missed.
The Incipio Offgrid is $70 on eBay. If it'll allow Qi charging too, I'll buy it in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing that info!
[EDIT: the lone commenter at the bottom of Incipio's page explicitly states it will not work with wireless charging. Since it allows for NFC, I wonder if the other wireless charging has more "battery case punch through" abilities.]
@bwb8771: I actually have two Samsung Wireless chargers coming tonight. Since I still have my Incipio OffGrid, I will check and let you know. I also had a Powersuit battery case that allowed QC passthrough but unfortunately, it did not hold up well in a drop test.
@RedXXII - I'd love to hear what you find!
@bwb8771: Unfortunately, it does not work through the case. I have two of the Samsung Official Wireless chargers. Sorry.
MUCH appreciated!

For my long flight to Europe I'll be buying the Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 10400mAh Portable External Battery Fast Charger (/URL]), so the OffGrid battery will be nice.
Having the SD card will let me store enough music that I won't go through Spotify withdrawals

not saying its not nice its just not a true quickcharge battery case output max is 1 ma and i am only getting 433ma same when I wireless charging so its miss leading saying quick charge.
okay update i am a little bit happier when its connected to samsung oem quickcharge it only charges at 433 ma but when disconnected and running on battery case it jumps to almost 2 ma which is wierd since max output is only 1ma but phone is charging fast so not too bad
I think you might be mis-understanding what Incipio is relating. They are only indicating that their case will ALLOW (not provide) quick charging through their hardware.
That is to say, if you connect the proper 15-watt AND proper micro USB cable, the quick charging of the phone will occur with the case in place.
Would you agree, @RedXXII ?

nope quick charge does not work "pass-through" when you have the case on as stated in the the message I left earlier it will charge the phone at .5ma ig if case connected to charger but, if you have the adapter unplugged from the case it charges the phone at 1ma or more the battery case even charges slower when connected to the phone.
but again i bought the case and it charge as fast as my non quick-charge adapter when not plugged in the only thing is that the phone and the battery case both charges slow when battery case is on phone

update
The cord that works fine without the case for fast charging doesn't work right with case on (think case doesn't see it as a fast charge device) so i decided what the hell switched the cable to the one in the box and now its charging fast. so use the cable provided with the case for fast charging to work it seems
Mine worked with any cable I used. It is dependant on the brick that you plug the cable into. Do you have any pictures of the case? I'm trying to figure out if I have a defective one. Mine will not close at the top. There is a noticeable gap.

the top does close but not 100 tight there is a line gap compared to the bottom and side
i'm using the Samsung brick. also did you get a full charge out of it? I left it on the phone charging overnight
let the phone drop down to 15% then started charging. it started charging to about 75% then battery case ran out of juice
I bought this external battery pack because I wanted something to power my Nexus 6p, with rapid charging. I can confirm that this battery pack registers as charging rapidly on the lock screen. This charger also can charge 3 devices at once. It has a USB type c port, 2.4a USB port and a quick charge 2.0 USB port. The charger still delivers enough amperage for rapid charging while charging 2 devices at the same time as shown in one of the pictures.
Finally this charger has 4 indicator lights on it to display how much capacity is left in the power bank. The size of this power bank is a little bigger than a nexus 6p and it comes with 2 USB type A to micro USB cables. Overall this power bank is a great value and already came in handy many times!
I received mine today too its great!
Wow, that one battery badboy! May get one...
Been happy with mine.

Nice! Wish it came in 10000 mAh

I really like mine. I pretty much use it wherever I go. I actually bought two one for home and one for work.
hows the weight on this thing? Seems beastly ... is it pocketable? Id like to get one but concern about the size. I'm used to easily putting an extra battery in my pocket so not being able to replace battery will take some getting used to. Wish this came in like 10,000mah at half the size
weight is fine, but it's too thick and wide to be pocketable. I've posted more in depth in the other thread for this, but it's a really good product that delivers fast charging and plenty of juice

Ehh, if you have small pockets it isn't pocketable. I can fit it in my back pocket, it sticks out the top of course, but it does fit.

Yes this thing would be tough to fit into a pocket, but it if you have a bag you bring with you (backpack) then you'll be fine.

If you mean to recharge the 6P with the power bank, it seems to be the exact same speed as the stock charger, around 100 minutes for 1-100%.

The ravpower charges via micro USB not USB type c. I haven't checked how long to charge it but I'll let you know as soon as I drain it.

Hey XDA,
I have issues with buying technology because I am always looking for zero compromises. Been holding off on a battery bank for the 6P because i haven't found "the one"....
Wondering if anyone has seen any battery banks that meet all/most of these criterion:
USB C 3A Input/Output
Passthrough charging (charge the phone and battery bank in series)
6000 mAh or higher
I'm more than happy with this product from RAVPower

Great find man! I been looking for something like this. Now if I can only find out if the 18650's are replaceable! Does it look like this box has screws to easily disassemble it ?
the battery pack i'm waiting for (hopefully not forever) is something with 3a fast charging that is more pocket friendly than anker/ravpower ~8000 mAH+
I bought this recently and its working great.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/iVoler-1000...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
Not only does it support fast charging via USB C, it uses the USB C port to charge itself as well. This means the battery bank charges in about 3 hours which is quite fast for a 10000mah pack. With a full charge, I can charge my 6p twice.

Nope, It doesn't have screws, I'm pretty sure it's hidden under the back cover.

I second this pack. It's a bit on the bigger side, but the added capacity is really helpful when you have to go off the grid for an extended period of time (read international flights), and the extra weight isn't that obvious if you just throw the pack in your backpack or purse, for our lady friends out there.
As for the screws, I don't think it has, and the 18650s aren't supposed to be replaceable either. But heck, the cells are of exceptionally high quality and rated up to 500 cycles, so you don't really have to worry about them going bad.

Not true, it DOES have true USB C fast charge as it gives you 5V 3A.

I just picked up the same, and I'm impressed so far. It came with a carry bag and 3 cables: A to Micro, A to C, & C to C. Capacity is 20,100 mAh.
Amazon link if you're interested. Will post a review after using it a while.
Dear friends,
Could you please share your experience with power banks so far? I'm looking for some to buy soon...
I bought the Xiaomi Power Bank Pro. It does have a USB type C socket.
Unfortunately that socket is to charge the power bank itself, so connecting the 6P via the USB type C actually drains the phones battery and charges the power bank from the phone. :-o
It does come with a USB A to USB C cable, but it does not quick charge the 6P.
Thanks for your answer, I've read that pressing POWER button on the bank while connecting to the phone could launch charging via USB-C socket - did you try it?

O recently ordered the RAVpower 20,100mAh 3.0 one as there was a $10 off coupon code, but can understand the desire for something smaller and more pocket-able.
This is closest thing I was able to find that is pocket-able and, i think, meets your criteria. But no reviews and I've never heard of the brand:

So what are the differences between the Anker and the RAVpower?
Do they both support being charged at 5V/3A?
EDIT: That pocket-able one is kind of tempting - shame it isn't a more reputable brand
The RAVpower unite I ordered does both USB-C 5V 3A and Quick Charge 3.0 the Anker unite seemed not to (not even sure it did either, must where QC 2.0).
What type of car charger do you use, wireless or cable? Where did you buy it from? Does it have super charge also?
Indeed Huawei announced a car charger, and I've also wondered why I haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere.

We're all looking for a car charger that support Huawei's Supercharge, not Qualcomm's Quickcharge.
are they the same?
No. Huawei's Supercharge is proprietary. You need their chargers, and their cables, to get full charge rate. They have a car charger listed on their site, but so far, it doesn't appear to be available anywhere.

Why? This phone has fantastic battery life and insane charging speeds. Charge with SuperCharge at home, and top up if you need to with a slower charger during the day... but you shouldn't need to do this. A standard USB type C charger will work well. USB PD works even better.

USB PD requires negotiation with the device to determine maximum power output. The charging brick must negotiate, as well as the e-marked cables I am using, to come anywhere close to the power the Mate 9 is pulling.
The Huawei charger pumps over 25 watts of power into the battery. This USB PD charger is doing 20 watts, max, and even less really because of voltage conversion that the Mate 9 charger doesn't have to do.
Unless Huawei totally screwed up designing the phone, it is safe. USB PD is not like QuickCharge... it is part of type C's specification. I have used Google's USB PD charger on a Note7 and LG V20 with zero issues, and those devices charged extremely fast using it as well.

Because the Belkin 2A charger + cable I have now is unable to charge it while I'm also using it with Spotify and Google Maps with the screen on. When I turn the screen off it charges really slow (Google Maps still running). I use this phone for navigation also when I'm working and sometimes I need it just for navigation 4 hours (and back) and then I also use it as a hotspot on location with clients. So ideally I would like my phone to be 100% when I arrive an not 70, by the time I get home it's at 30 and then I have the whole evening with only 30 % left.
As far as I know USB PD isn't supported with the Mate 9 BUT using a charger and cable that do support should not be dangerous as the charge is negotiated. I do find it strange that yours draws 20 watts.... would like someone to verify because if it is I'm buying a USB PD charger as that is the future!
Does anyone know if the Mate 9 supports Qi wireless charging?

You can use any USB charger you want for that purpose, the OP7 will fall back to the highest compatible charging rate the powerbrick is capable of (Qualcomm Quick Charge is not supported by the OP7, and in case of a USB PD powerbrick that would be 5V/3A), in your case 5V/1A.

Strange, maybe there is a lightly higher minimum charging speed unless it detects it's connected to a USB port... Do you maybe have a 1.4A or 2A charger flying around to test that? Or try with a different USB cable and the 1A powerbrick?
I just did my first Warp Charge and the phone didn't get nearly as warm as my old Nexus 6P did get despite charging with double the current. What did get warm instead was the charger. Hope that helps maintaining battery life...
No you need to use the new charger and cord

No you'll need the red cord and new device for power outlet. Is not designed to use their warp charging unless you use it. You can also use a 2.4 amp one that's used for any phablet/tablet but it won't charge in 30 minutes.
