I just wanted to let people know that Scosche just released a new dual 2.4A car charger. This is not a car charger that splits 2.4A between two ports, but one that has full 2.4A per port. You can charge tablets and phones at the same time. What I love about this charger, is that it sits flush in the car. No stick protruding out.
I used to have their older model, the 2.1A dual car charger USBC202M. I purchased it in May. When I saw that they had this one available on their site, I asked a representative through chat if I could exchange my USBC202M for the USBC242M one. He said sure and gave me the info on how to do the exchange. I only paid the shipping to them and got a brand new item. I did not send the original box or anything. Great customer service!
I will try this later on. I have a dedicated USB charge only cable so I will not run into any of the charging issues that some people might have using a data/charge cable.
The USBC202M and USBC242M are listed as the same price on SCOSCHE's website. The USBC242M is not up on Amazon yet, which is where I purchased the original charger.
Link to USBC242M: http://www.scosche.com/chargers/ipad-usb-car-charger-two-port
Link to the charge only cable I am using (nice 5ft): http://www.amazon.com/Specialised-M...=UTF8&qid=1385138950&sr=8-1&keywords=portapow . I like how it is a little thinner than the Mediabridge 6ft one that everyone seems to be using. And the connections are a little less bulkier as well so I am able to connect with my phone that is using a Spigen Slim Armor.
Pics up soon.
How do you use that micro usb charging only cable with the Note 3?

It's like any other USB cable, you just plug it in to a USB port. It allows AC charging regardless if you plug it into an AC adapter or a USB port on your PC. This will not allow any data when used in a PC.

Just look at your Note 3's USB 3.0 port on the phone. See that one slot is bigger. Thats where you plug the USB 2.0 cable into. It will work just fine.
USBC202M
That same model number is on Amazon. it lists it differently though..
Dual 10 WATT (2.1A) USB Ports
http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-USBC202M-Charger-works-iPhone/dp/B0077PM3KG
It is only $16 which is a lot less than $24
UPDATE
I see the difference. The packaging you have a picture of has that Model number listed as USBC242M not USBC202M
The lesser should be more than adequate for the Note 3 as it exceeds the 1.8A it will really use at the most.

Yeah. I had the original USBC202M that you see on Amazon. I paid that back in May. I contacted Scosche through chat on their website (took about 30 min before someone was even available) and asked if I could just swap it with the newer model since they were selling it for the same price. He just needed the receipt (which showed my cost of $16) when I send my original one. It was done as a warranty exchange since it was within a year.
I know 2.4A is more than enough but this is great if you also wanted to charge a tablet as well. Or if people were running kernels that allowed more than 1.8A charging.
Here's a much cheaper Anker dual 2.4A that I was looking at but hate how large it is. The price is soooo nice too. $11.99

Anker makes quality products. The price is great but I was really looking for a flush look when installed in my car. Most of my interior is black and this is a bright pearl white. Is there an advantage of a stick design as opposed to a flush?

Yes, looks aside the compact version is going to run much hotter if both outlets are used at capacity.

Yeah I had totally missed that until I saw this thread. After posting the question I looked at the port and saw that it is a two in one port. Just the other day I was bummed that I forgot the N3 charging cable at home. I spent all day reserving battery when I had my S4 cable in my bag the whole time. Doh!
I am getting one of these. So basically this is overkill right? Since 1.8a is max? Does the charge only cable benefit more in any way than a charge/data cable or are the charging amps the same?
Update.
I ended up getting the less amp USBC202M via Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077PM3KG and ordered two Charging MicroUSB cables also from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009W34X1I
The cables are designed for full charge (just like being plugged into an AC charger) but in the car. I can charge my Note 3 and Tablet both with 1800mA each. The cables are straight 6FT heavy cables which are hard to break, and give you lots of room to use the phone or tablet while it is plugged in.
Just like having AC power in the car/truck with fast charge times
The difference between wall charging and usb charging, is that the wall charger ties the two usb data pins together. Phones detect that and charge slower on usb to protect computer ports from high current drain. Good car chargers solder together the two data pins to cheat the phone into thinking that is connected into a wall charger and thus charge the fastest possible.
You could find usb cables that internally connect the data pins, however that cable won't allow you to send data.
This applies to most usb charged devices, like android, iphone, ipad, etc.

The Scosche does not work with the galaxy s5; the anker does but is larger physically.
I found my dual micro high current car charger on boxwave. It was cheap, and works great. No problems at all. The phone shouldnt pull more power then it needs. If so id check with tech services.

Don't worry. If the charger is required more power than is able to provIde it will just cut to the top.
Output of that plug states 10v 12w
Official note 3 charger is 5.3v 2amp I cant see how this could be good for your phone/battery.

Where does it say 10v?
Anyway, I've finally bought the Anker 24W, which is compatible with the Galaxy S5, so there are much higher probability to be compatible with newer devices like Galaxy Tab S, Galaxy note 4, etc.

Obviously this is a mistake, it's referring to input voltage.
12V USB Adapter
Input Voltage: 10-16V
USB Output Voltage: 5VDC, Dual 12 Watt (2.4A)
http://www.scosche.com/chargers/ipad-usb-car-charger-two-port
Note that some car chargers allow 12-24V because you can use also trucks and vans for charging. Doesn't seem the case for Scosche.
So I have started using an application on my Note 3 that is pretty much a battery muncher, GPS, Data, Processing, Graphics the works. I am looking into some options for extending battery life with some accessories. I was originally planning on getting 2 batteries with a charger but I'd like to also consider a portable battery pack so I can share the power with friends. What I am curious about is whether or not the charger can support the 900ma/h charging rate. I was wondering if the standard usb port can support the power as long as its a micro usb 3.0 connector. To simplify I just need to know that if I have type A usb connector to a micro usb 3.0 connector can I charge my phone at the fastest rate. And does the output of the charger have to be at least 1A?

I own two battery packs. Both are from a company called PowerGen and I picked them up on Amazon.com. One pack is 12,000mah the other is 5,200mah. You just plug your regular charging cable into one of the standard USB jacks in the battery pack and turn it on. The larger pack has a 2A jack and will charge at a fast rate. When I was using the Note 2, I used a special heavy duty charging cable that I picked up on Amazon.com and that cable allowed the Note 2 to charge at a faster rate. I have not tried to use the cable on the Note 3, but I might soon. I feel that battery packs are a much more flexible approach than extra batteries. You can get more than one recharge on the battery pack. I addition, I use the battery packs with a large number of other devices. If you get a new device, the battery pack can still be used.

YUp. I have an old anker external battery with 1a and 2a ports, the 2a port charges my note 3 at 1800. To be fair it is picky over the cable used (a decent quality non ribbon cable) and the temperature of the phone and battery (thermal throttling which is perfectly sensible to avoid cooking the battery and phone). It appears that there is a lot of variables that can potentially screw up a decent charge rate for some folks some of the time. My experience with the anker battery pack has been excellent, even nearly 2 years later after daily use.
Personally I am getting a little tired of the whole charging the battery twice a day so I am looking at a larger battery. The zerolemon allegedly affects signal quality, the 6400mah ones from elsewhere seem to come with shocking cases so I am still looking. It would be great if samsung came out with an extended battery and case. You think they would be after that money.

How do you check what the charging rate is And id like a cable that bends with no resistance unlike the factory cable .
Theres a free app "galaxy charging current lite", seems to be pretty accurate compared to time taken to charge.
As for the cables. I checked quite a few cables and I noticed that the higher quality cables, more expensive, thicker, better connectors etc were far more likely to charge at a higher rate. I would not be shocked if some of the cheaper cables, especially the flat noodle types were skimping either in the cables or the shielding. I could be entirely wrong of course but I did attempt to limit any other variables like being in airplane mode, low room temp, battery not near fully charged.
Don't get me wrong, I find it a huge PITA using a stiffer cable but that is why I am looking for an extended battery that doesn't leave me with the worlds worst case or stuff up the signal.

2 a is not bad. That is what the oem charger is. Depending on how much juice the app is using 1a won't cut it.

Most phones only come with a 1A charger, while most tablets (and Note 3) come with a 2-2.1A charger. I have an Power Bank battery with a 1A port and a 2.1A port. The 2. 1A port is the only one I use to charge my Note 3, and I use the 1A port for other phones and/or my blue tooth headset.

Anyone know?
Currently, I am using Anker 10000 mAH 2nd gen for my Nexus 5.
It works very well.
But, I would love to have kind of "turbo charge" thing that the Nexus 6 has.
I read from the Anker website, they have newer power bank with "Power IQ" technology that can deliver efficiently. But, I don't think that's even close to the turbo charge.
I believe you may have to use their proprietary charger.
The turbo charging requires the provided wall charger. Only that will give you the turbo charging capability.

As you can see there are many products that support Quick Charge 2.0 (turbo charge is just Motorola's fantasy name)
You can use any of them to get "turbo charge" for the nexus 6. And also for the other devices that support it.
I am sure that a power bank will be available soon that has the Quick Charge 2.0 .
https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapdragon/2014/06/04/quick-charge-20-has-arrived
Anyone know how turbo/quick charge works?
From what I am reading it seems to be all marketing lingo. I know my OPO charged over 2-3% per minute and it is not on their list of quick charge 2.0 devices.
I've also been hoping to find a power bank that would charge a Nexus 6 at Quick Charge 2.0 speeds. This from "Ape Technology" looks to be one. And it looks like you can by it here, though only in quantities of 1000 or more! Anyone see any other options out there, or is the world still waiting for a product like this to hit the mainstream?
I was able to obtain a small quantity of Quick Charge 2.0 battery banks directly from the distributor. I am keeping a couple and selling the rest to recover my costs.

MOD EDIT: Link "retooled"...
You can save more than half off the ebay seller by buying directly from APE Technologies on Alibaba. I understand making a few bucks for your time and effort, but there is no need to gouge your fellow XDA members on here.
Alibaba has a minimum buy of 1000. I was able to purchase a sample quantity of 10 through my company directly from APE. It cost me $160 for ten plus $100 shipping plus $45 wire transfer fee from my bank. I'm keeping two and selling 8 for $50 each. So I'm only making less than $90 if I sell all 8 after all the shipping, ebay and paypal fees. I think that is fair and not price gouging.

Technically at that price you will barely 'break even'. 8*$50=$400 then eBay takes 10% so now its $360 plus PayPal takes 3% of the paid amount so 400*.03 =12 now you are at $348. Let's subtract ~5$ shipping each which gives us $308. If we add in the cost paid for them we get 308-(100+160+45)=$3 'profit' but you still have your 2 batteries which were free so you still come out ahead.
The price is fair considering there are no other sellers to compete with at the moment.
That's right. It wasn't my intention to make money by buying these anyhow. If I could have bought two from them I would have but the minimum sample quantity was 10. If I can manage to sell all 8 and get come up ahead by having two for me that's good for me.

That's true on most cases. QC 2.0 works extremely fast and efficiently compared to the old QC 1.0. If you haven't used the QC 2.0 with a compatible phone you will see the difference immediately. I prefer qi but QC 2.0 is nice for when I plug it in.
What battery capacity do you think is best for you? I think dimension and weight is also a big concern.

Not quite. Voltage and current are inversely proportional. A watt is a watt... A 120 watts at 120 volts is only 1 amp of current. Whereas a 120 watts at 12 volts is 10 amps current. This is how the power generating companies work... They produce high voltages for the grid that get stepped down with transformers to a usable voltage. Imagine plugging into an outlet with 13200 volts... Ouch.

Wut? Might be time for you to go back to school....
Voltage = Current * Resistance.
That makes voltage and current PROPORTIONAL, not inversely.
The higher the potential difference, the higher the current.
Remember that current, measured in AMPS, is a measure of the number of electrons passing in a unit of time. Specifically, ONE COULOMB PER SECOND. A coulomb is 6.24x10^18 electrons.
Has anyone figured out what makes a turbo charge 'turbo'?
I like to look at everything in amps, and from the current state of power banks, they all top out at around 2 amps a port. Don't think anyone has made anything that pushes more than that.

VOLTAGE VOLTAGE VOLTAGE. I explained it a few posts back.
Read the label on the charger itself. It says 5V, 9V, and 12V. A "normal" charger does ONLY 5V. A QuickCharge 1 charger does 5V and 9V. A QuickCharge2 does all 3.

No, I'm pretty well versed in Ohm's and Watts laws. The post I quoted referred to voltages up to 12 volts, in which case, my statement stands as he was referring to changing voltages.
Higher voltages require less current to produce the same wattage as a lower voltage would when connected to the same load.
I see it almost everyday wiring transformers with 480 volt primaries and 208/120Y secondaries. 90 amp breaker on the 480 volt primaries and 200 amp for the 208 volt secondaries.
Calculating with a single voltage, then yes, you are correct; E=I*R.
I am going away on a trip next week and will need to be able to charge on the go.
I originally ordered the Aukey PB-Y14-US power bank but I was unable to get it to charge my OnePlus 6t. It charged my wife's Pixel 3 XL with no problems.
It seems the only Dash Charging compatible power bank that I can find is the Sdoutech which has mixed reviews.
I am looking for something that is 20000 or more as I need to be able to fully charge 2 phones and have a little extra to spare.
What are you guys using? Any suggestions would be awesome.
I have RavPower 28k mah with PD charging. It doesn't rapid charge my 6T, but it does not slow charge either. I've been happy with it, had it for over a year now.
I use something like this when I travel.

I use Panasonic 18650 cells rated at 3400mAh so around 17,000 mAh which are about 20$ for four packs. I find it hard to believe that there are battery packs not using 18650 cells that are rated any higher than 10k mAh. I get about three or four complete charges with the one I posted.
A five cell 18650 battery pack is a bit large and a bit heavy. I use 10 amp cells but if you want dual fast charge then maybe get 20 amp cells I do not think that 30 amp cells will be of benefit. I have used many of these eBay style of 18650 cells over the last five or six years and the differ in circuits most will do the rated quick charge. A 20,000 mAh cell could be pretty big if true to the rating. The few that I have had over the years that use custom flat cell phone style cells are pure rubbish.
This one supports Dash Charge and works pretty well: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32963417817.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dbg2AjO

Looks nice but if it is 18650 cells I fail to see how it can reach 20000mAh . But if it is just a charge bank and the user provides the cells then at least one can bring their own cells and have a decent unit.

The sister company? of OnePlus --> Oppo has just announced two new power banks which support VOOC (20W) and Super VOOC (50W) fast charging ! I think these should be compatible with OnePlus Dash Charge or Wrap Charge !!!
Sorry, Chinese website links only !

Have'nt found it yet.
Hi,
what do you think of this?
https://www.oppo.com/ph/accessory-vooc-power-bank/
What specs should I look for when looking for a 3rd party fast charger for the S23?
Just go for a Samsung brick/cable. The 25w ones are cheap and reliable.
If Samsung hadn't gotten so chintzy they still ship a complete phone set. Is that too much to ask for in a $1G flagship phone?
Samsung sucks now... more money, less perks.
Also, it will ensure you have access to the gaming functionality to have the phone plugged in and not charge the battery. If that's something you would like, then having a compatible PD charger is required. All my third party ones are not compatible... But the Samsung one is. I'm sure there are third party chargers compatible with that functionality but I couldn't tell you which.

^That's a long overdue feature.
The OEM brick makes battery troubleshooting much easier as well. They have a very wide input voltage tolerance. The 25w brick will slow charge at 60 VAC!

I'm actually using my Samsung 60W charger from my book2 so I get the best of both worlds! Obviously charging is capped at 45w on the phone (which really feels like 25w...)

Hmm... Sucks that it's not compatible with third party charges. I was going to save some money and buy an Anker.

My 10 yo Dell laptop has that battery charge isolation feature. It's nice to have.

It might be. I don't think I have an Anker one. The option says "with a compatible PD charger" so it's pretty vague..

I'll have to try my OnePlus 9 and Anker chargers. The Anker is only 30W but both of these support PD PPS.

The OnePlus 9 one will charge the S23U at 45W (was doing so on my S22U already).
I would make sure your charger has USB-PD with PPS. And that the PPS range it at least 12V at 5A. Most chargers limit the current in PPS mode at 3A. If the charger listing does not show the specs, try looking for "Samsung 45W", that seems to be the layman's term.
You may also need a 5A cable, a small chip in the cable telling the devices that it is capable of carrying up to 5A current.

And I ordered a Spigen PowerArc ArcStation Pro that just came by (I'm slowly replacing the old chargers for GaN ones), and it also is compatible with 45W charging.
For 25,49€, it fills the needs perfectly (smaller than the 1+9 brick, power efficient, more affordable).
I got the '45W USB C Super Fast Charger, 313 Charger, Anker Ace PPS Fast Charger Supports Super Fast Charging 2.0 for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra/S23+/S23, S22/S21/S20/Note 20/Note 10' for £20.99, lucky really as its gone up to £24.99 now............interesting timing hey as when I bought it they didn't include the S23 Ultra

It's always a tight decision between Anker and Spigen, but recently I've been increasingly going for Spigen. The build quality is getting my favours, and they also have the "Designed for Samsung" label on an increasing number of products, which is guaranteeing that the quality is controlled and approved by our Korean friends. And as they're falling in the same price range for most of their products, if I'm buying stuff to pair with a Samsung device, then Spigen is my go to.
I've also been trying some Baseus products (docking station and USB cables), they're quite good in that segment of products too.
The handy size of the Anker done it for me
