QC 2/3 power bank that supports incoming QC/USB-C charging?

[PythonFanPA]

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:

I have this it has QC3 In/Out and USB-C 5V 3A In/Out.

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?

Ironically, I checked the Choetech pack I'd previously referenced today and Amazon actually has them back in stock, and at a discount for Prime members, only $26.99 with 2-day shipping.  I just ordered one.

How has it worked out for you?

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.

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.

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.

Edit: oops I realize someone already posted that one earlier.

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.

No it can use micro USB or USB-C. The pack automatically determines which direction to use the USB-C port. I only charge mine with USB-C.

Does it support QC input charging via the Type C though?

 

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.

Not sure I'm following you here...QC works fine over a Type C connector.  Where are you getting that from?

QC may work on USB C but it is not USB-IF certified.

[PythonFanPA]

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.
