PythonFanPA Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Has anyone found a power bank that meets all of the following criteria? - Supports QC outgoing as well as input charging, whether just QC2 or QC3 as well - Supports both USB-C out *and* in ports for charging the power bank as well The one I've found online is by Choetech, but it seems to be sold out: https://www.amazon.com/Bank-CHOE-15600mAh-Lightning-Charging-Portable/dp/B00ZCGLBT6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey_J Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I have this it has QC3 In/Out and USB-C 5V 3A In/Out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PythonFanPA Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 That's...kind of odd - they give QC charging capability for the pack but *only* via the older micro USB port? Does it work ok using QC charging via that connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImmerStark Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 There is a newer QC 3.0 version of the Chotech that is higher capacity in the same form factor. Something interesting I have noticed is that it will charge at up to 2.6 amps from a non quick charge adapter, which is basically the same speed it will charge from a quick charge port (9v 1.5a). There is no USB C port on it though, just a lightening input for iPhone users. Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PythonFanPA Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 How has it worked out for you? I somehow missed this, but the Choetech bank worked outstanding from a device charging perspective, but the fact you still have to rely on a micro usb cable for incoming charging still sucks. I'm still trying to keep an eye out for a new bank that has USB-C input Quickcharge charging and a standard USB Quickcharge out port though. If anyone finds one with at least 10k mAh, please post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I have this one. It's about $10 more currently than when I bought it. It holds an insane capacity and works great. Only downside is it's definitely too big for pocket. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019IFIJW8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_upUNzb0Z95X1W Edit: oops I realize someone already posted that one earlier.

PythonFanPA Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 That's a good one too in most respects except for, again, the fact that it still relies on a micro USB in for charging the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pack automatically determines which direction to use the USB-C port. I only charge mine with USB-C.

This to me is the absolute key factor - it can take a very long time to charge a larger bank with normal charging speed vs. QC charging. My Choetech supports incoming QC charging, but still forces you to use a micro cable to do it. I want something I only ever have to use/bring one cable for if/when traveling.

It will charge at 5V 3A over USB-C. It's USB-PD, not QC necessarily, but is almost as fast. Check to see if your USB C charger lists 5V 3A as an output (15W). V * A will give you a number you can use to compare the QC output of your charger to get an idea of relative speed.

You are not going to find one that has QC1/2/3 on the USB C as QC is not supported on USB C only USB-PD. If an device does QC on USB C it is not USB-IF certified.

PythonFanPA Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well, lack of certification hasn't stopped manufacturers from doing it....at least not LG since I QC charge my phone via USB-C every single night. I'll still keep looking anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
