Smallest Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 battery? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories

I'm switching from a Note 4 and swap out these super thin batteries almost daily.
All the batteries that are on Amazon that support quick charge seem to be mostly 10,000mAh and up. But I'm not looking for super big batteries.
I could work with a 4,000-6,000mAh battery pack that can recharge the phone at least one. If I go on a long trip, I'd rather carry only one in my pocket and then another in my backpack.
Is there a thin and short one that can fit comfortably in my jeans pocket?
I found this Auckey 6,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0, and while it is thin, it is longer than a phone. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0193B5VVY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_JqRZwbG38AFCF
I would love something just as thin or shorter. Even a lipstick size one like this AUKEY Mini 5000mAh https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B1DJX02/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_hwRZwbVMC9J42 (but it's not Quick Charge compatible)
Anyone know of anything?

I was looking for the same a while ago and couldn't find any that size. Seems like the aukey 6Ah is the closest you'll get that's available now. For this phone I'm considering getting the Samsung battery backpack.

Hmm.. That's interesting. I wonder what is the speed of wireless charging.
I just hate having to carry a battery pack and making the phone thicker just to accommodate having extra battery during the day.
What would also be cool though, is a battery pack like the auckey, that could charge the phone wirelessly if they were both in your pocket together.

There's this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HY..._UL100_SR100,100_&refRID=1BXQ6Q13XKCE0GXC2S06
But no guarantee it'll work in your pocket. It only has one coil (to be able to charge anywhere on it you would need 3) and the output is low at [email protected]
Edit: the bulk doesn't bother me, it's less bulky than carrying another device.

A rubber band can keep them together.. but then I worry about the heat while charging. Plus it takes 3-6 hours to charge which is crazy.
I guess I have to wait for something better to come along. In the meantime, I ordered the silver S7 Edge.
I will also order the Auckey 6,000mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0 I linked below and the Anker Astro E1 5200mAh Candy bar, which doesn't have Quick Charge, but supposedly does high speed charging and try them out.
It sucks that I will go from carrying an extra 3220mAh battery that weighs less than 45 grams and smaller than 3 credit cards to carrying something bigger than a candy bar and weighing 136 grams (and this doesnt even include the size of the cable when plugged in). But I guess that's progress??

I had that for my Nexus 6 and it was okay, but very inefficient. I don't think it's worth the $$ unless it had a higher capacity.

The Note 2 external battery charger/stand looks nicer than the Note 1...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-8K3ipl8fI
It has a similar style to the GS3 desktop dock (which I have in black and use for my Note 1)
why didn't they have it charge the phone as well? seems like wasted opportunity. does the charger plugin into the wall? or usb?

Not worth it, there are many other cheaper options. This could have been a great device if they'd applied common sense and designed it such that it charged your phone at the same time. I think it's a stupid idea to remove your battery everyday to charge - that just greatly increases the chances that you'l break the phone.
Samsung needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. This is a really idiotic idea to put it kindly. I'll be getting the note, but I'll be avoiding this stupid dock at all costs!!!
This is not a dock. It is a battery charger that doubles as a stand. By not having a protruding USB connector, it allows the phone to be placed in landscape mode - great for movie watching.
The idea is not to remove the battery to charge it but rather to have a second battery ready and waiting, swapping them as needed I've been using this method with both my SG2s for about a year. The very flimsy plastic covers did withstand the abuse quite well.
I may or may not get this stand for the SGN2. The battery seems to last quite a long time, so I may not need to have a second one. Besides, the SG2 stand works well enough with the SGN2.
Having said this, not everyone will feel confortable with the constant removal of the cover and will prefer a "proper" phone charger/dock.
Yes, this setup is not for everyone, my main point was that it looks better than the external battery charger for the Note 1 battery, and for those that are familiar with it. It did the same thing, but looked cheaper and more like a generic no name unit you might buy off eBay.
If I had a spare battery, I'd rather charge it like this than have to use the phone.
If you want a dock, I use the GS3 one for my Note 1 and it works well.
There is no width restriction, so any phone with a usb port on the bottom should work. It even still works with the rubber gel case on my phone.
Audio out via the usb is handy too.

That would annoy me for everyday use.
I actually like this a lot. Even though it would've been nice if they also designed it as a dock, this fits into my current daily habits with the Photon.
That was my setup with OG Note and plan to do the same with N2.
No more situations were you just don't want to grab your phone because it's charging. Or take second spare with you if you need etc.
Just brilliant imo.

I just collected my Note II from the webshop and found that the 'old' (SGN) docking station can be used, applying some duck tape or other to compensate the slightly less wide & thinner design of the Note II.
The nice thing about the old docking station is that it charges the device and can be used on its side (movie watching) as well. There seems to be no similar docking station for the Note II available/planned so it really is the only way atm to charge in landscape mode (besides of course charging in portrait mode).
yep

I agree, I use my i9300 with an external charger and spare battery and it works great. Whenevef I drain my battery I just swap it out with my spare. I never have to plug my phone into a charger and wait for it to charge.
I have Anker Astro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmxnZqC5H8M
looks cumbersome to use, i would have to remove the note from the case, then remove the back. Id rather just use the wall charger.

But, if you have a spare battery you will need to remove the case and back cover anyway...
The only reason you would buy this charger is if you have a spare battery...It would be pointless to buy it if you only have 1 battery that could stay in your phone the whole time
If I had a spare battery, I'd rather charge it outside of the phone, rather than have to have my phone tied to the charger whilst I charge up 2 batteries.
Or, have the ability to charge up one battery in the phone and another in the external charger at the same time eg. 2 dead (or almost dead) batteries at the end of the day, go to sleep with the phone charger and the spare in the external charger, wake up and the phone and spare are ready to go. Without an external charger, you need to either wake up in the middle of the night to swap the batteries in your phone, or allow a couple of hours in the morning before you leave to charge the 2nd battery.

I have it by N7000. It is very simple with usb port. It is versatile with all smartphone, psp and compact camera. It has capacity of 5600 mAh and it is very small than large pack of gum.The full charge takes 6 hours
So I got one of these, doesn't come with wall plug or USB cable I am guessing it's designed to be used with the original note 2 wall charger? or will any USB wall charger work? Just worried about using a wall adaptor with the right amount of watts etc
From mobilefun's product description
Please note: The holder and battery charger doesn't come with a USB cable, in order to use the charging capabilities you would need to use the USB cable which comes with the phone.

I got the one from Samsung's online US store and it comes with .7 amp usb charger. But the unit itself will suck the appropriate power it needs so using the same charger that comes with your phone (2 amp charger) is fine.

I've got this stand and it's really nice, but I'd prefer to have one that charged the phone and the battery at the same time. Anyone see one of those? I don't need the full smart dock with USB connections ... though that would be nice if it also charged a spare battery.

[Q] Decent 3000Mah+ portable pocket sized charger?

I used to carry around 1 or 2 spare batteries for my S4, which was great they are small and fitted in my pocket easily.
I have just bought the Anker Astro mini with 3200Mah. I thought this would be enough to fully charge the s6 edge, however it only charged it to 65%. It did get quite hot, so it cannot be too efficient.
It also says its lipstick sized, not that I own any lipstick (male) but It looks like a very big lipstick.
id like a charger that is around 3000mah that will hopefully charge as full as possible but that also fits easily on my pocket or wallet. I have seen plenty of wallet packs, but they are often too small capacity and would only likely charge to 30%.
Anyone come across some decent pocket sized portable chargers? small as possible with a capacity of at least 300mah
I've just ordered a qistone which is a portable wireless charger 4000mah. Its got a good £20 off at Amazon at the min.
From video reviews it look like could fit in your pocket easy, plus fact it's wireless means you don't need to carry cables around.
I will let you now as soon as I get it
I purchased this Amazon Basics powerbank, comes with a built in cable and can charge the device once entirely with a little juice left to spare. Super pocketable too.

I've had two (well, three, since my wife lost hers once - but I digress) Anker 2nd Gen Astro Minis for a little over a year, and they've never been a problem. Decent price at $13.00 for the black ones.

Do you find it fully charges your phone? do you have an s6? Think the capacity of the s6 edge is 2650 mah and the anker 2d Gen Astro is 3200MAH, so even with heat loss etc, I would have thought this should fully charge once. But mine only got to 65%. I have only tried it once, maybe it just needs a few charges before it works efficiently.

I have an S6 (Edge) and have not (in the two weeks I've had it) had to attempt a charge from zero or near-zero using the Astro.
It did recharge my S5 to about 85% from dead-flat though. I suspect it would do the same with the S6/S6 Edge.
Groupon Deals
If you search s6 in groupon for the next few days they have a 3800 mAh battery case for 30$! I just bought a black one I'll post a review once it arrives!
The solution....

Hi man,
I had the same problem of having a S4 with extra battery and now with S6 I need a pocket size battery to charge it.
I looked a lot around and I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Energio-Porta...=UTF8&qid=1430707677&sr=1-4&keywords=3850+mah
It charges My S6 from 17% to 100%. and is pocket size.... And have built in cable!
Hope it helps.
Always had luck with the Anker powerbanks. But want my next one to be a quick charge 2.0 capable charger like the Aukey one, which is currently sold out on amazon.
I would suggest iWalk 6000mAh Ultra Slim Battery & small size
which charges Note Edge Fully & still has 20% remaining
It has built in Micro usb & Lightning wires 2amp out
and also a Usb out with 2.4amp
i have the 10000mAh its awesome

ZeroLemon Note 5 8500mAh Extended Charger Case Review

So I just received the ZeroLemon Note 5 8500mAh Extended Charger Case that ZeroLemon sent me to review. Here are my initial thoughts, along with some pictures.
-IT IS HUGE! Just like the ZeroLemon 3500mAh battery case, the battery is separate from the case. Unlike the 3500mAh battery though, this battery is almost as big as the phone itself, falling about 2mm shorter on both length and width. But the battery is about 3mm thicker than the phone. With the battery and case on the phone, it is about 1.5x as thick as normal.
-It actually feels better in my hands than the 3500mAh version. Despite this case being so much bigger than the 3500mAh version, I actually like the way it fits in my hands better. The design of the case is a big improvement over the 3500mAh version. It does add more weight than the 3500mAh version, but it feels like it is distributed more evenly due to the size and shape of the battery.
-Unfortunately the battery alone does not fast charge my Note 5. This was a complaint I had on the 3500mAh version as well, and I am dissapointed to see that it is still an issue with this battery case. I have not found any information as to why fast charging isn't implemented, though I have a few possible ideas. I have reached out to ZeroLemon for clarification and will update when I head anything.
-The battery does pass through fast charging when connected to my Aukey 3-port USB charger (1 of the ports is fast charge). The battery alone does not fast charge, but it is nice to see that ZeroLemon is able to pass fast charging through the battery to the phone.
-The battery has a full sized USB 2.0 Type-A connector for charging other devices. This is an interesting feature that I have not seen before. I charged my Note 5 with this port, and just like the MicroUSB port this does not fast charge my phone. The odd thing about this USB port is that when I plug my phone into that port, and than plug the battery in to charge from my wall outlet that port stops working and my phone stops charging. I have reached out to ZeroLemon to find out why that is.
-If I plug my phone into the battery, and than plug the battery into my Samsung Fast Charge external battery it also passes fast charge through.
-The 8500mAh battery case came with an extra curved MicroUSB to MicroUSB adapter, but no headphne jack extender. The distance to the headphone jack is about the same as the 3500mAh version which did come with an extender. Since this is a unit sent to me for free to review, they may have left it out. I have contacted ZeroLemon to find out.
So far this is all I have. I will post an update on a few days after I have used the battery case with more information on how long the battery lasts.

I would highly recommend the 8500mAh version over the 3500mAh version. They both have similar downsides, like the battery alone won't fast charge, but I actually like the size of the 8500mAh version better. I have a car mount that works with the 8500mAh version but not the 3500mAh version. Also, if I am going to have a huge phone because of the battery case, I would rather it actually help my phone last 2 or more days on a single charge. The 3500mAh battery wouldn't charge my phone from 0 to 100%, the 8500mAh battery will do that, I haven't fully tested how many times it will go from 0 to 100%, but so far it seems like it should be at least 1.5x if not 2x

Can you also open the battery compartment and snap a few pics to show the internals? I have the 3500 and the circuitry is confined to the bottom of the enclosure. I'd be curious to know if there is separate circuitry up at the type A connector or just a line going to the circuit board at the bottom.

Ah, that is quite interseting. I don't think it would be so easy with this one. The battery is sealed similarly to their extended batteries for the LG G3 and Galaxy S4. There is no cover to pop off, I would have to unwrap it, which I am unwilling to do at this point in time.

Hi,
Sorry for taking so long to reach you. Please kindly note that this battery pack only passthroughs quick charge but not supports quick charge.
The reason why we don’t include quick charge to this battery pack is because of these three limitations which are our major concerns.
First reason is that the larger IC board used to accommodate QuickCharge will reduce the capacity of the battery pack which is against our intention to provide high capacity battery case.
Secondly, if the battery pack and the phone both have QuickCharge activated, it is possible that the phone will overheat to an unsafe level.
At last, QuickCharge Support requires Qualcomm certification which significantly increases the cost of the product due to further licensing and testing cost; as a result, the price will be higher.
Regarding to the issue with the Type A micro USB port, for better protection to the battery pack, the battery pack can not be charged and discharged at the same time.
And for the earphone jack adapter, most headphones are supposed to be able to plug into the headphone jack as tested by our tech team. If you do need one, we will send it to you for free. Please keep in contact with us to let us know your opinion. Anyone who needs earphone jack adapters can contact our customer support to get one.
Hope I have resolved your issues and answered your questions. Thanks for your feedback and support to ZeroLemon.

ZeroLemon released a belt clip. It is a little bit dissapointing the 8500mAh battery case doesn't include this. Both my LG G3 and Galaxy S4 ZeroLemon extended baterries came with a belt clip. Idk why the change with the Note 5, but it is dissapointing.

Looking at the picture it appears you can only mount the phone with the screen facing the inside. This would make the kickstand feature kind of pointless. Has anyone here tried the belt clip?

Review: Zerolemon 5500mah Note 8 Battery Case

First, I did receive a review sample from ZeroLemon.
If you're looking for a slim solution, this is NOT your choice, if you're looking for massive amounts of additional power on the go without having to carry a cable and external battery, then this IS your solution.
As I'm sure everyone will mention, it's LARGE. Until battery tech gets smaller, you gotta cram that battery somewhere. It's pretty hefty as well. If you wanted with this battery pack, you could outlast everyone around you in a marathon Pokemon Go session, long flights of movies won't be a problem. It's not going to provide any screen protection if dropped, but it might give you some arm workouts as you use the phone.
It's brainless to use. Plug your Note 8 into the battery case. All the button passthru's worked fine and aligned up. You are still "capable" of using the fingerprint reader, expect a bit more "reach" to get there. The case itself doesn't block the camera at all. No ghosting of the case in your photos.
If I were designing this, I would have added a flipout kickstand so you could just sit and watch movies without having to hold the bulk.
Product Packaging:
Packaging is quite simple, it’s a white ziplock bag and a brown cardboard box. There isn’t much in terms of instructions, just a small flip out pamphlet that instructs you on how to plug in the battery and case.
The battery attaches to the Note 8 via the USB-C port on the phone. The battery attachment also charges through a USB-C female port, so there is no need to change chargers or cables that you are already using with the phone.
Battery Usage:
I charged the case for approximately 12 hours before initial use – as instructed on the white ziplock bag that it all comes in.
The battery/case:
It’s a simple TPU case. It has a matte texture that feels good in the hands and prevents slippage.
After testing the battery case with the camera flash, I found no issues.
There is no need to remove the phone from the attachment in order to transfer files to your computer – something that is not possible with another extended battery case I tried using prior to this one.
Charging:
The battery itself does not support fast charging from the battery to the Note 8, but it does allow for pass through quick charging of your phone if you connect the battery case to your Samsung fast charger.
Pros:
Good extended capacity
Power on/off button
Solid construction of battery and case
Pass-through quick charging
Data transfer pass-through
Worked first time. Living up to name ZeroLemon.
Case itself is grippy and comfortable
Cons:
No NFC
No QI charging
Recessed fingerprint reader
Noticeable increase in weight and thickness of the phone
Needs a flip out kickstand.
Interestingly, if you try to go to the product page its a page saying "Oops - We couldn't find that one"

Not sure it's official released. Not on Amazon yet that I saw.

Interesting that they make two of them now. I wonder how much thinner the 5500 will be compared to the 10000 one.
I saw that 5500 version a few weeks ago before the 10,000 mah one was listed and didn't like the way it looked. The 10,000mah one looks decent, I need to know if it will work with the Whitestone Dome though.
When you are charging this, does the phone and the case get charged in parallel? Or the phone first, then the case etc.
Also how long does it take to charge the case itself, with the phone in it?

I like mine. It's a little smaller and the case is refreshed from older models I've used from ZL

Well I went thru 2 10000 cases in 1 week and both failed. Then I bought this slim one. Worked great for 2 charges and then would not take charge from factory charger. Will only charge from pc. Contacted zerolemon and was told must be defective cable. Lol. Yet charges my phone properly. Zerolemon is garbage and I recommend everyone to stay away from it. Last 2 phones product has gone to worthless in less then 2 weeks.
All their 5500 seems to be is a rebranded knockoff of the ebay versions for about $20 more. The 10 000 version looks like there's. Bottom line, like the OP said. It's heavy, no wireless charging, no magnet, no nfc. Those three are a killer, I regret not waiting for mophie's more expensive alternative.
The Mophie one is only 2950mAh and can only charge the phone 50% of juice.

Sorry I don't have it. I want to purchase it but it is currently out of stock.
It should be smaller in size than zerolemon as it has smaller capacity, I think.
Here are some video fyi:

ZeroLemon Note 8 10,000mah battery case combo

First off, let me say this is a great setup for a power user and is the third ZeroLemon 10000mah battery case I have used on a mobile device. I use my phone for everyday business and multimedia use around 12-13 hours a day. I am constantly in the car or traveling for clients and have very little time to actively charge my phone on the move. This battery case combo was a no brainer for me.
So far I have been through 5 complete charge/drain cycles. Charging this battery case usually takes 8-10+ hours and holds a charge pretty well from what I have tested throughout the week.
The overall size and feel is great, although it does take a beautiful thin phone and make it into a hefty brick. I would say it is relatively the same size as 3 Note 8 phones stacked on top of each other. For me, this feels great and gives me a bit more piece of mind when handling the phone all day. However, your basic consumer may not like trade-off. That though, is a positive trade-off for me to have stellar battery and usability to get me through the day, worry free.
The case fits the phone very well and I do not worry about it coming loose, shifting etc...If I were to drop it I don't know how well it would absorb the impact, or whether the phone would stay in the case itsself. I'm not going to test that though. The s-pen can be a bit difficult to get out/in. This isn't an issue for me as I rarely use this feature. All the buttons line up with the respective case buttons and pluggin in the charger has ample clearances etc. The camera and fingerprint sensor are easily reachable as well.
Overall, this was a great purchase and one I will make again for future devices. It does exactly what I need it to do every day, and it does it very well.

I don't think anyone could have designed an uglier solution
Way too much bulk to add considering how long the battery last and how fast the Note 8 charges. I have an external battery, but have only used it once
I bought the 10000 mah lemon battery as well via pre-order being I was coming off a rooted Note 3. Once I seen they was making a 10000 mah lemon I went and bought the Note 8 immediately. Not only have I've gotten 3-4 days with moderate use but it can also be used as an EXTERNAL battery for anyone worried about the added bulk or having to take a more protective designed case off to use the lemon case and battery.
I haven't even seen this option advertised in the Amazon reviews, Zero Lemon website or anywhere so decided to share. Basically just buy any USB C to USB C cable like this but shorter if you want "AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB Type-C 2.0 Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 M... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGKZ1VA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_t1_icXvAb4CR5EGC and plug it in the actual white and black battery that fits in the lemon case. There's a input and output insert. Use the Input slot and plug the other end into the Note 8.
This works just like an external battery where you get the option to have it in the case or out the case. Also to add. When flat on a table, the lip for the case slightly raises the phone off flat surface which helps with the glass not touching. Although it's not designed to protect the phone I dropped mines twice off a dresser and not a scratch. Landed on its back possibly because of the weight. Hope this helps anyone in deciding.
