wireless charger or a power bank - Nexus 5 Accessories

i dont face battery issues much but i had collected some money for a wireless charger but my friend suggested me to buy a power bank instead
so my question is is a wireless charger worth buying means does it really make a difference or should i go for a power bank .
I m getting a xiaomi power bank at 1k inr 10k mah , and wireless charger at around 2k inr.And is Xiaomi reliable for a power bank?

It's completely your call.... I feel that you would need a power bank and in a country like India, we often have electricity shortage and in that case you'd find the power bank a great help and coming to wireless charger, It is just like an add on to your budget. check with the wireless chargers in ebay and they work flawlessly. So if you spend around 1800 Rupees, you'd get both of them.
If you need the links do let me know, I'll give some suggestions.

I have this and it works brilliant... Wireless charger and power bank in one -

I like my wireless chargers, I am able to just plop it down, and it starts charging, plus it is less wear and tear on the USB port. I still want a power bank though, just so when I am on the road or something

Hey guys, did anybody brought any stuff on everbuying? I would like to buy Xiaomi power bank 10400 mAh, but i don't know if is it safe? They have now sales.

[Q] Recommendation for a car charger and a power bank

Hi guys,
I have a very bad battery life on my OPO (max 2-2:30 SOT), and I need a good car charger while I use GPS, and a power bank.
I would appreciate it if you can give me links on ebay.
BTW, is it safe for the phone to use these chargers?
Thank you!

I feel that the OnePlus bank is a solid choice. I've been very pleased with mine.
The charging rate with screen on is limited. The stock amperage limit with screen on is 1A. I get notably better current flow on CyanideL (likely a kernel thing).

Thanks for your reply.
Amazon doesn't ship to my country.
Do you have a link on Ebay or Aliexpress?
Regarding the power bank, do you recommend the One plus bank than the Xiaomi power bank 10,400mah?
Thanks again!
The OPO bank is a safe choice, since it's from them and likely tested by most forum members to be accurate.
Xiaomi, especially on Aliexpress and eBay, has a LOT of fakes, obviously cashing in on the brand and shortages. Make sure it has branding inside the USB ports if you are buying Mi. The 16000 is a less faked model, since it's newer and uses a different form factor. The advantage it has over the OPO bank is it supports 2A on both ports, and gives max current of 2.1A / 1A total when two devices are plugged in.
With the OPO, it gives 1A / 1A when two devices are plugged in, and 2A maximum on a single device. If you do not charge multiple devices often, the OPO is cheaper and less likely to be fake.

Hi there,
Thanks for your reply.
I can buy only from Ebay or Aliexpress, because One plus doesn't ship to my country.
The One bank is about 30USD over there, and the Xiaomi is half price, that is why I thought of it, but it is hard to know if either of them is fake.
Do you have an idea about a decent car charger?
Thanks again for your help.

Anything that is a 2.1A car charger should do it. If you are unsure of the quality, you could always get a charge doctor for $2 USD on Aliexpress, which will tell you if the port is good or not. For example, if the reading shows 0.5A output or less, the product is garbage and you should demand a refund. I suggest getting one if you buy chargers and power banks on eBay, since it can validate how good (or bad) your product will be.
If you still want the Mi bank, two things to look for are the small Mi logo inside the USB output ports, and test to see if you can still charge your device while the power bank itself is charging (pass through charging). These two features are hard to fake. Do not rely on serial number stickers, since counterfeiters will sometimes put a fake power bank inside a real box that they salvaged from someone else.

Are these charge doctors reliable?
If I buy one plus bank on eBay, is it safer than the Xiaomi one?
Thanks!

Yes they are. It's a simple circuit with a high resistance to measure current and an LED readout. A few forum users have them to do readouts, and they can detect bad wall adapters and cables too. They are accurate +/- 50mA, which is good enough, considering a bad output will be off by 500-1500mA.
As for safety, eBay is always a gamble. I would go for a seller with a return policy, so if your charge doctor test shows the product is defective or fake, you can send it back.

Just ordered one from Aliexpress for 1.29USD
Also ordered a Belkin car charger from eBay. (probably a fake one)...
If it is less than 2.1a, is it unsafe for the phone, or will just charge slowly the phone?
Thanks!

2.1A is the maximum output, which is more likely to be closer to 1.7A because of cheap parts. What you are concerned with is the minimum rate. It should charge your phone at a minimum of 0.7A, unless your charging cable is bad. You can find out which charging cable is better by connecting them one at a time to the charge doctor connected to the wall wart and picking the cable that gives a higher current output. This is how I sort out all the charging cables I get from eBay, and a good number of them have bad pin shorts that lead to them being capped at 0.5A.

I have the original One plus cable, so this shouldn't be the problem.
I will check the car charger once I will get the charge doctor.
Thanks for all the info.!

looking for a good powerbank

Hey guys I have the xiaomi mi max 32gb 6'44. I had the xiaomi 10.000 Mah pro. But this power bank it is slow charging for our phone. To get 10 % I should wait 10+ minutes. So it is not good. Suggest me a good one cheap power bank 8.000+ Mah. I don't care about if has 1 or 2 USB ports. Only matter that charging fast
How about new (second generation) Xiaomi 20Ah one costs same as before 22$ China price comes with good logic, two 10Ah li-po ALC batteries & supports QC 3.0 able to deliver up to 24V. Just finished looking a teardown & tests at MiUI forums my self.

Problem Solved. I've had the Jackery 6000mAh charger in my bag for two years without a problem. Charges ipads and devices rapidly and is perfect if you are not wanting to be that guy sitting on the floor next to the outlet . So this new one: See the cords that have micro usb and lightning (iOS) connectors.. Well that solves the issue of carrying a battery and an cord? Leave that cord at home, you don't need it. How cool is it to be on the plane, and just pull this out without having to negotiate that 6 foot white cord? Its pretty slick and worth the purchase. Very reliable and two years later (on my last model) no drop off in performance.

Anker.
*Not affiliated, because someone asked about a cable in another thread.
Sure, there a other label, but a Powerbank with such volume and rather low price wouldn't come in my home.
Amazon reviews, btw, are not that reliable, aside from this.
Look tech forums up.Unfortunately can I not recommend other than in my native language.

Best Power Bank
Hey,
What makes a Power Bank good and efficient?
1. Portability
2. Capacity
3. Weight
4. Easy to carry
5. Fast Charging
Here is a list of the best power banks under 1500 where you can grab the perfect portable power bank for you.
I am using OnePlus 10,000 mAh Power Bank and really satisfied with the experience
Regards,
Rishabh
I rarely ever use power banks, but as far as I am concerned, brand doesn't matter at all.
I had a cheepo power bank with no name a while back and it was the best power bank I ever had.
Hey,
Check out Redmi Power Banks. They are so good in sound quality and battery life.
There are two variants available : 10,000 mAh, 20,000 mAh
Check them out, surely you will like it
RAV Power is my power bank of choice. Takes a while for a full charge but invaluable on a long trip.

Power bank for Pixel XL

Hi all,
I'll be travelling a fair bit next year and have been looking for a power bank for my Pixel 3XL. I'll also be carrying a 12.9inch ipad pro (2017) and a wireless headset so looking for a power bank to charge all these devices. So far, I have narrowed it down to the following two.
Aukey brand
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AUKEY-X...=item33f038d3bc:g:Z8cAAOSw9~5bxT6V:rk:22:pf:0
RAVPower
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RAVPowe...3d5659495:m:mynNtkL-bAdL42f2CJQnV-A:rk:2:pf:0
What you guys think? Is there any other that's better?
Thanks!
Ideally you want a power bank that will both charge up via USB C and output on USB C, so pretty equal it looks like, go for the larger capacity if you can since you can get a couple more charges out of it.
Not sure how much juice you're looking for but this one comes in a type c option and the size is nice too. Price is hard to beat too. Been using mine for well over 3 years now.

I have a power bank that doubles as a car battery booster. I use it to keep my phone and tablet charged. I then have a solar charger that keeps the power bank somewhat charged. Still have to refill at weeks end. It's 15,000 or so. I'll have to grab it from the car. Get a solar charger as well. Hands down best purchase I have made. It charges almost anything
I've got this guy, use it for camping and backpacking came with a 45w charger as well. Metal housing, I like it. Only 2 ports but that's alright, have never had a need to charge more than two things at once anyway.

I just purchased this power bank from Amazon. It claims to have Dash charging speed. Although it's not as fast as warp charge it should be the fastest power bank out there for the Oneplus 7 pro. I should get it tomorrow.

Thanks just bought it! I looked into it, it does not support warp charging but it supports Dash Charge 5V/4A which is still nice. The power bank itself also supports Dash Charge 5V/4A which is the main reason I bought it. All the other power banks I owned took forever to charge, this should be a major upgrade.

Sorry for the late reply but i returned it. It did not consistently rapid charge. It seemed to only stay on rapid charge when it was at 90% or more sometimes. Otherwise it would only rapid charge for a few seconds.
Anything by Anker. I've had power banks, mains chargers, cables and even a few products from their Soundcore line and j can't fault them for function and build quality.
