Droid Turbo 2 - Power Banks or Battery Packs? - Droid Turbo 2 Accessories

Has anyone found a good power bank that can turbo charge the Turbo 2? I had the Aukey Charger for my Turbo 1, but it doesn't work for the Turbo 2 (AUKEY 10400mAh Portable External Battery Power Bank Fast Charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0) Anybody have any suggestions?

I have the Aukey 10400mah with the same results, pack will only turbo charge if phone is above 90% charged.
Also tired the Motorola Power Pack Slim 5100mAh, DT2 doesn't even detect a turbo charge when connected.
Even tried the Qi-Infinity 35,000mAh for the Surface Pro 4 that offers quick charge capabilities, DT2 didn't get above a 1000mA charge.
I can confirm that the TechMatte 5200mAh battery pack works with the DT2 @ 49% battery life, the pack will charge the phone to 100% with roughly 1/4 of charge remaining on the battery pack (Maxed out at a 3500mA charge rate, front end of the pack got very hot!). I'm going to try to get the DT2 below 10% to see how this pack will perform.

That is really disappointing to hear. Thanks for the info. Will your aukey 10400 power bank charge your DT2 regularly (without quick charge)? Mine will just turn off after about 10 seconds.

Nope, mine does the same and shuts off after 10 seconds.

I have the Anker PowerCore+ 10050. It has QC2.0 and works on my DT2. The only issue I've seen is that I think the first one I had was defective. It only charged 1.3 - 1.4 times.
The manufacturer stated only 50-60% efficiency from stated capacity, but that should still be at least 1.5x.

External Batrery - 13000 mAh

I am using this DOCA 13000 mAh whenever i am on my trip or away from home. This thing gives me 4 cycles of fully charged. Just plug in before bed and its fully charged on the next morning.. I am very happy with it ...

I use the EasyAcc 10000 mAh which gives me 3.5 cycles. But I never end up charging my phone when it hits 0% so it feels like 6 cycles. And it also outputs 2.1 Amps in one of the ports and also comes with power dummy cables. It charges my phone faster than the G3's power adapter which is 1.8 Amps.

EDIT: Just realised your one outputs 2.1 Amps too. Its a good find.
I use RAVPower stuff - have a 6,000 mAh pocket sized charger and a 14,000 mAh "RP-PB13" model. Charged my phone from flat this morning, quick charging. Used these for a while and very happy with them.

Anker PowerCore+ 10050 - 10K mAH Power Bank with Quick Charge 2.0

Anyone has this power bank?
If yes, how do you find it with Nexus 6? I meant the charging speed.
This is quite small power bank that has quick charge 2.0 support.
I think it's the smallest in the world, at least for now.
http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Charge-Anker-PowerCore-10050/dp/B013HSQXZC
It also can be fast charged using quick charge wall charger.
I don't like big bulky power bank.
Nice! I wanna buy it.

Fast Charging On Honor 5x ??

Has any tried charging honor 5x with 2amp charger??
How much time does it took to charge fully..??
With stock 1amp it took 3hrs to charge fully....as i know snapdragon 615 nd 616 support quick charge 2.0...can it be utilized with 2amp charger??

I dont understand what quick charge does exactly. If i have a charger that puts out 3 amps at 5 volts and the battery is 3000 mAh then it should take about an hour to charge if its completely drained. That the basic rule for 1C charging rate for lithiums right? so does the qualcomm charger deliver higher that 1C rates?
It doesn't actually work that way which would be bad for the battery, they charge faster when the battery is low and slow down as its fuller or reach a certain temperature.
As for Qualcomm quick charge, it works a bit different than the USB standard. I'm still not clear on the whole thing, but this is what I gathered:
Quick Charge 3.0
3.2v - 20v dynamic, 200mV increments
Up to 3A
Snapdragon 820, 620, 618, 617, and 430
Quick Charge 2.0
5V / 9V/ 12V
Up to 3A
Snapdragon 200, 400, 410, 615, 800, 801, 805, 808 and 810
-
5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.67A
Quick Charge 2.0 Class A can provide up to 24 watts over a micro USB connector, 36 watts with a Type-C connector, and Class B can reach 60 watts or more.
Quick Charge 1.0
5V, 2A
Snapdragon 600
This is the rating for one 19.5W QuickCharge 3.0 wall charger:
Output (Type-C Quick Charge 3.0 Port): 3.6-6.5V/3A, 6.5-9V/2A, and 9-12V/1.5A

Thanks for the info eksasol.. I guess I was just being simplistic. I always think of battery charging in terms of hobby remote control chargers for lipo's. True, the charger (or phone) must have built in circuitry to ramp up the amperage it delivers according to what it considers to be safe/efficient. It would slow down as it came up to it full voltage. Ive never really worried about it much since i just plug it in at night and get through the day without needing a recharge. Years ago in RC you could buy batteries that could handle 2C and above charging rates pretty easily. I would imagine that number has increased. I figured phone batteries would essentially be the same.

I did not actually use the supplied 1A charger, but with a standard 1A charger it takes all night.
My tablet 2A charger is way faster (a few hours maybe), honestly I did not take note of the time.
I will try that.
The charger circuit will take care of it, no matter the available current, because tension is fixed to 5V so resulting current will be what the circuit handles.
Not sure about a quickcharge 2.0 charger, don't have one.
idk why i read that it takes them atleast 4-6 hours to fully charge their battery? ehh in an hour mine goes from 6% to like 67% and then the other 30 mins and its done and full. and im just using the charger and cable that came with the phone.

At that rate (30% in 20 min), it should take around 60 min to reach 80% and (80 min) 1hr 20 min to Fully Charge with that charger.
I swear the original reviews said it took around 2 1/2-3 hrs to charge overnight.
I have to say I have NEVER had a phone last as long as this phone does! The battery lasts forever no matter what I do.

I keep wanting to test how long a full charge takes, using my intelligent Anker charger. I never get the chance. The phone battery life is simply outstanding. This is like my 8th smart phone, and simply blows the rest out of the water. I even have the EUMI battery saving features turned off. A 50% charge can takes about an hour. Old habits of always plugging it in when in the car or my desk means that I can forget about plugging it in at night. Don't worry about battery life or fast charging - they are non issues.
No QC2
I have tried two different adapters that are QC2 compatible (and work fine with Galaxy Note 4) with USB voltage measurement device; all I can get is 5V and 1A max even when the battery charges from 20% on.
So, no go on QC2
Also tried QC2.0 charger. No fast charging. However, Ampre, does report that it manages to pull 1.3A from the variable amperage ports i have.
I finally got my battery down to 0%. With Ampre reporting:
- Using a 0.5 amp charger, I got constant 460mA
- Using the 1.0 amp supplied charger I got 850mA
- Using my Anker 5A IQ charger (i think they license the QC technology) I only got 850mA. I checked and was using a power not data+power cable.
- Using same Anker 5A IQ charger, and a high quality power only Anker cable I got 1850 mA up until 50% charge then 1600 until 65% charge and 1200 until 85% charge. After that it dropped off rapidly 750 at 90%, and 450 at 95%.
Charging when using the phone lightly - occasional call, calendar update, email - consumes around 400 mA. I do not use any of the Honor power saving features. With this in mind:
- 40 min from 0 to 60%
- 1 hour 40 min from 0 to 90%.
Perfectly acceptable to me with the huge battery. GET RID OF YOUR CHEAP POWER CABLES
So IQ or QC chargers do seem to work, and most importantly make sure you have good quality power only cables. I have a drawer full of cables that were fine with older phones and chargers. They are now in the trash.

worth the extra post - i can confirm the fast charging - was still doing about a percent a minute between 70% and 80% or so. little laggy during setup, occasionally seems to miss a command but dang for the price i can't complain.

S9+ won't fast charge using a power bank

I've bought 2 different QC power banks:
AIDEAZ Power Bank 20000mAh Portable Charger

NONE of them fast charge my S9+ even though when I use the wall charger it fast charges. I even have a USB power meter to confirm that these power banks are only outputting 5V 1A.
I don't get it, works with wall charger, but not with power bank.. Anyone else have this issue, or can recommend a power bank that actually does fast charge?
SO FRUSTRATING!

Yeah, I don't get it. I thought it was just my phone, but then I tried my friends with the same result. Maybe it's got something to do with the carrier software? But I'm on Bell and my friend's on Rogers, so unless it's a Canadian thing.. weird.

Samsung Galaxy S20+ and 45W charger

Hey, is it safe to use original 45W Samsung charger daily? Got it for nice price ($25) from friend's shop.
I read somewhere it's not recommend to use 45W. Also I read S20+ supports 25W only.
Thank you for answers.
It is safe to use the charger but I am not sure if it will be able to charge it at 25W also.
So if I will use 45W, charging will be the same as with original charger?
Tried it, remaining time to fully charged is showing the same with both chargers.

I have the 45w charger. Charging speed depends on the phone temperature. The phone slows down the charging when phone temperature gets high. It's marginally faster than the one that came with the phone. But it's super fast charging for the first 30 minutes or so compared to our of the box.
So i use the 45w charger at office when I need to charge the phone fast and seldom fully charge it as I would unplug it and go somewhere else.
At home I just plug in the charger that came with the phone for overnight charging. Perhaps not the best to leave it charging overnight but I need a full battery next day.
Even if the charger provides 45w, the phone will only pull what is needed from the charger itself. So if the phone limits itself to 25w, then thats all it will use from the charge available.
Equally, if the charge provided is lower than the maximum the phone can use (i.e. 25w phone but 15w charger), then it will use the maximum from the charge available.
Chargers these days offer a multitude of different voltages and amp ratings, but they are smart and will only send what is requested by the device that is plugged in so there's no chance of accidental over-voltage.
I too have the 45W samsung travel charger and did a comparison on power draw compared to the 25W charger that is included with the phone. I used both the USB C cable that came with the phone (Black) and the thicker cable that came with the 45W charger (White), while measuring the power draw using a power consumption meter that was plugged into the wall between the charger and the outlet. My phone was at 40% charge when I tested. The results are shocking.
Included 25W charger
Phone's Black cable - 27.9 W
Charger's White cable - 27.2 W
Samsung 45W travel charger
Phone's Black cable - 29.7 W
Charger's White cable - 31.3 W
The similar power draw explains the charging speed difference of 10 minutes which many reviewers on youtube have observed. Taking another step, I have read that the S20 Ultra requires the charger to support PPS to achieve (10V, 4.5A) in order to charge at 45W. So why does the 45W travel charger only support (15V, 3A), (20V, 2.25A), (3.3-11V, 4.05A), (3.3-16V, 2.8A) and (3.3-21V, 2.1A)? Even the best case scenario would be to use the (3.3-11V, 4.05A) PPS profile and set it to (10V, 4.05A) to give only 40.5W. I smell a rat.
Interesting. I have also measured power draw but my results are bit diferent.
45W charger was getting up to 41W for 4 mins.
On overall charging speed 0-100% the diference is 10mins, but after charging 20mins I'm getting 54% on 45W and 37% on stock.
17% in 20mins it's a lot of difference.
45W is slowing down up to 1A after that to cool down the phone. 25w have similar behaviour.
Baseus 65W PPS chargers triggers SFC 2.0 but it takes more than 2h to charge fully. Amperage is oscilating as hell.

I have been continuously testing and found that if your phone has less than 30% battery and the battery temperature is under 33 ÂșC, it will charge at 40W. After that, it drops to 30W for the remainder of the charge and then drop again to 20W when the battery is above 80%.
Next step is to find a good battery data logging app which logs battery percentage, battery temperature, charging current and time. Surprising to find that not many apps can do this. Even the Battery Charging Monitor app doesn't log all that data.
