Charging from power bank

I heard about wrong quality USB C cables which can damage the phone but what if I use original HTC 10 cable with old powerbank?
Is it safety?

You'll be fine.

Used it today for the first time and it worked just fine.

Should work fine wall/car charger and third party cables are the problem. Tested some of them and met heat issues. The only one working flawless and without any issue, since I received them, are from Aukey. Just in case you want to order some more cables.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs

That's complete nonsense, don't listen to sites like Android Central/Phandroid. They clearly don't understand how things work in that regard, so don't worry. I've used many of my USB A-C cables that are compliant from my Nexus 6P via a power bank (4 different ones actually), QC 2.0/3.0 and type-c chargers with 0 issues. Just don't buy a cheap no name charger and cable just like with any phone.
Here's a brief list of the brands of cables/chargers that work fine based on what I've personally used:
Choetech C-C/A-C/QC2.0/3.0/powerbank
Tronsmart C-C/A-C/QC2.0/3.0
EasyACC Powerbank/QC2.0
Incipio Car charger QC 2.0
Samsung QC2.0 wall charger
Google Type-C wall charger
I-Orange A-C/C-C cable
Anker Wall charger
Cable Matters C-C cable
Aukey QC2.0 powerbank

I've used the Anker 10000 mAh QC 3.0 Power Bank with no issues. Charges very fast and reports "Charging Rapidly". I also use the Anker Power Line USB-C to USB 3.0 cable with it.

I have an Anker 13000mAh power bank and I've used both the Anker and HTC type C cables and it seems to charge only when the screen is on. One the screen goes off the charging light goes off, then the screen will turn back on and start charging like I just plugged the charger in. It will do this over and over. I've had no issues with my older Nokia and the stock HTC wall chargers

I also use a powerbank having different voltage :
2.1 v and 2.4 v
Both are working fine and the 2.4v port is quicker

Powerbank for Oneplus 3/3T ?

i really need a powerbank for op3,
is there any power bank that supports Dash charging ?

Nope

I think Dash charging isn't helping in real life multipurpose use.... but Qualcomm quite charging does that....
Oneplus should make dash charging support power bank or make 3/3T Quick charging 3.0 enabled ?

Well, OPPO's VOOC flash charge is the same as DASH, and people report their VOOC power banks work with DASH charging (with a Micro-USB to USB-C adapter).
OPPO link: http://www.oppo.com/ph/accessory-vooc-power-bank (I only found it on their Philippine page)
Amazon link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/OPPO-VOOC-Flash-Charge-Power/dp/B00SINEEXA (Out of stock)
Good luck finding one.

Try vooc power bank and it won't give you exact same speed as dash charge as dash charge because that gives output of 4amps but the vooc power bank by vivo give 3.4amps but that should also be fast and it should work because vivo and oneplus are owned by same company and use same technology with different names

any one know
this 5V 4.2A can charge like dash?

does it use qc 3.0 or a LENOVO proprietary standard? read here....

from gsmarena:
We initially thought that the Rapid charging tech used by Lenovo must be Quick Charge 3.0 since the P2 uses a Qualcomm chipset. However, our third-party QC3.0 charger didn't charge the P2 particularly fast, so the jury is still out on whether Lenovo is using a proprietary charging technology.
so... my car charger and my power bank, BOTH qc 3.0 are useless with this phone??

Our charger is a basic 12V 2A charger, giving a total of 24W Power. I don't see anything special in the charger. It's probably not the usual QC we had heard of. I have seen in some reviews though about this charging technology being different and very interesting.

A problem would be: what charger for the car???

i have the phone and i can confirm it only uses the QC feature with the included CHARGER
no way to use any qc 2/3.0 charger....mmhhh bad decision lenovo!

I don't see your point. This charger outperforms any other chargers in the market even turbo and dash chargers.
Why do you ppl always end up blaming others.

because i am against the proprietary charging algorithms..... dash charge is great? NOPE.... it forces you to use a special cable, a special charger, no 3rd part suppliers... high price of chargers, is it a good move for the customer?
same thing for this lenovo charging solution, ok the fastest one, but if i lose che official charger i am stucked with the NORMAL 5v 2a solution....
this is not a great thing imho, and all power banks i have qith 7/9/12v qc features are USELESS with the lenovo p2......

You're thinking only voltage my friend, check if your power bank can supply 2A at 12V. Probably no. Mostly all power banks bottlenecks at 1.5A.

So, there isn't a way to use another charger for fast charging?

my xiaomi power bank 2 20000mah does have qc3.0 and it's tested to arrive higher than 2A at 12v ... but even if other chargers are "only" capable to reach 12v at 1,5A ... it is still a missed quick charge because p2 uses proprietary charge coding
ok this is not THEp roblem, but just a con. like for dash charge people repeat at eveyone that oneplus is the fastes... but hey without an available dach charge power bank... that phone is s "joke"

I have another QC3.0 wall charger, when i plug to P2 it's out put at 2A only not fast charge.
But when i plug original charger from P2 to another phone fsst charge status is become.
???

How many times will you open new topic for the same problem ?

[review] baseus GaN 45W and 120W chargers (now with XDA discount codes!)

i'm back with a few more chargers to test, this time from baseus which i have to admit i've never tried before. they sent me the 45w charger/10000mah power bank as well as their 120w 3 port wall charger. the first thing that jumped out at me is the size of these things. even though they employ GaN they are larger than I'm used to. it is somewhat understandable on the 45w charger as it also doubles as a power bank, but i was really surprised at how big the 120w charger was. that said, performance on both of them were great and they feel really dense, so they don't appear to be wasting any space.
the 45w charger was the one i was intrigued the most by because of its versatility as a wall charger and a portable power bank. you can plug it in to use as a charger or charge the 10000mah battery, and both usb c ports can be used to charge the battery as well. baseus claims 45w max output on ac power or 30w max on portable power through either of the type c ports individually, or when used together 30w+15w or 15w+30w on ac power and 18w+18w on portable power. i tested it using my pixel 5 and a completely dead samsung chromebook plus and noticed consistently that the top port had a slightly lower voltage than the bottom, despite both being rated for the same. neither port delivered a full 45w on my testing. with the chromebook and the charger plugged in the top port maxed out at 2.35a/14.6v, with the bottom port delivering 2.35a/15v. plugging in a second device dropped the charging speed to 1.85a/8.7v and 1.9a8.8v for top/bottom. in powerbank mode the top/bottom gave 2.2a/11.7v and 2.2a/11.9v individually, 1.9a/8.8v and 1.9a/9v with a second device plugged in.
the 120w charger offers 3 ports, 2 usb c and 1 usb a. theoretical power output gets a bit complicated; the usb c ports can put out up to 100w individually, or 60w+60w when used together. either usb c port used with the a port will put out a max of 87w with the a port delivering 30w, and if you use all 3 together the top c port will put out 60w, with the bottom c and the a port putting out 30w each. in my testing i was able to maintain charging speeds of 1.85a/19.2v on the top port regardless of what the other ports were doing. on the bottom port the speed was similar, but dropped to 2.2a/12v once i had all 3 ports in use.
as i mentioned earlier these chargers are quite large and heavy. the 120w is noticeably heavier and larger than a 90w 3 port charger i recently tried out. obviously it delivers 33% more power and there is a lot to be said for that, but i think for most users this would be more of a wall solution versus a travel charger. the 45w charger is much larger than a few other 60w chargers i have, but again this baseus charger offers a fairly unique advantage of both plugging in and using portable power. while these chargers dont fall into the ultra-packable categories, they both offer value in the extras they can deliver. right now the 120w charger is available on amazon for $44.99 after clipping the on-page coupon, and the 45w for $32.99 after clipped coupon, and if you buy both it gives you an extra $5 off of each. as always these are not affiliate links; im not affiliated with any of these companies and dont receive any compensation for these reviews.

I'm using my Xiaomi 55W wireless charger with the 120W supply that came with my Mi 10 Ultra. Works a treat.

So what actually is the FASTEST charger that can be safely used with the P5 apart from the supplied Google charger that comes with the P5 and the Google Pixel Stand ?
If a non UK forum member replies, remember I'm in the UK, so ideally I'd like one that I can source in the UK, but I'd still be interested in what others are using.

As far as I'm aware, using a charger with more power than the supplied charger makes no difference. The device decides how it will draw power.
These high wattage chargers are mainly for laptops.

I bought this 45W charger few days ago, but with one usb-c and one usb-a port. First I bought variant with 2 usb-c ports, but it didn't work well, it only charged from the wall, but when tried to charge from battery, phone started to charge power bank instead of the power bank charging phone, so I returned it and got the variant with one usb-c port and with one usb-a port, because they didn't have option with two usb-c ports anymore. I actually love this charger, because you can use it for both, as wall charger and as power bank and that's awesome for traveling and it also have PD. But I don't think it's really 10000mAh power bank. I tried to charge my phone from power bank, the power bank was fully charged, and my Pixel 5 was 50% charged. I left it overnight and it charged my phone to 100%, but power bank has only 25% battery left (1 light on out of 4). I don't think 10000mAh power bank should last only half of a charge. I was thinking about ordering other charger and power bank, but I couldn't find any charger and power bank in one device other than that specific device from Baseus.
