Hello,
I found this externel rechargable battery:
http://www.holland-xl.com/shop/product.detail.php?product_menu_id=727
Ok, it's not cheap but if you use an extra internal battery you have to switch the Shift off/on to change battery so this Power Gorilla has some advantages.
Question however:
I am not a technician but Shifts battery is if i am correct a 2.700 mAh one.
The Power Gorilla seems to be 21.000 mAh.
Does this meen it will extend operatingtime of shift by factor 8 - 9??????
If so, i consider to order one.
Anyone has experiance with this product?
Best regards,

I have a friend who had one together with a Solar Gorilla solar charger for the Power Gorilla. Actually used that stuff down under. Worked great until it got nicked !
Thanks!
Thanks Lucid,
I will order one soon.
I'll report my findings...
Still no answer to my question however.....
Dear everybody,
Over 50 views of my posting.
Still my question is not answered.
Does this Power Gorilla (21000MhA) make my Shift run 8 or 9 times longer on one charge than the original internal battery(2700MhA)?
Lets say it will run for over 10 hours when using the Power Gorilla?
Thanks in advance.

hello, thanks for your post. The Powergorilla does have a 21,000mAh battery however the 21,000mAh is only available via the 5v USB port, the PG has to up-rate the power from 5v to (for example) 19v - this means there would be around 6,000mAh available @ 19v - or 5,500mAh @ 24v etc
I hope that makes sense. If you do have any other queries please email [email protected]
Regards

shift is 12V
Powering the Shift trough the 5v USB connector possible?
Hello,
On the forum i read a while ago that someone tried to power the Shift through te 5v usb port.
He used the assosoiry USB connector for this.
Can someone confirm if this is possible?
See posting above.
This would meen (if i am correct) that you could use the Shift trough a Power Gorilla for a very long time when it is fully loaded......

STOP ! Dont'put any power on that USB port or ya might fry it.
Have you read about the Mugen power packs that come with a new shift battery cover?
I know it said it supports HTC devices but has anyone actually done it yet? I am really excited to get this if it works because its about the same size as the shift and would be awesome!
please say someone knows!
The mini gorilla charger is out now at roughly the size of a large mobile phone...
http://www.aceselectronics.co.uk/product.php?xProd=30912
Would be awesome to know how it works with the Shift.
Necropostt...
however, I do own a PowerGorilla, and as such I can't really comment on how long it will power the Shift, but it is right now powering my Compal HDL-75 notebook as well as charging my Nexus One through the USB port and has been doing so for an hour now without even a single bar of battery gone.
I may be able to help you out here though since the 21000mAH quoted here are for the USB port at 5v, as you raise the voltage through the auxiliary port the capacity is lowered.
What voltage does the Shift charge at? I can provide the rating for it.
Edit: btw I own the rev. 2 version. The rev. 1 only had 16v to 24v output whereas mine has an 8.4v to 24v output.
I have rev1 of powergorilla and you have use car charger from expansys with it. You put out voltage in 16v and cigarrete connector adapter that arrive with powergorilla and car charger from expansys.
Best regards.
I've kept up with all the research and debate on the best charger/cable combinations for the galaxy note 3 and i'm happy with the charging results from the charger that comes with the note 3, but I need an additional charger. The best I can gather from others is that some are able to use their tablet chargers as well as some miscellaneous other chargers with mixed results to get the faster charging. I've also noticed that almost every non-OEM "fast charger" sold is marketed and designed for the ipod/ipad/iphone, which decreases the power for non-Apple devices.
Does anybody have a direct link or a suggestion for an affordable stand-alone charger that I can purchase for the Note 3? The OEM charger runs $25+ on sale and i'm hoping to find something less expensive.

Your best bet is just to shop around on Amazon, as there are tons of viable options available there that will leave you more than satisfied with your purchase. I would sit here and type out answers to all your question(s), but this has been covered before. Actually, I participated in a thread very similar to this one and since it's nearing 3:00am and I'm exhausted, I'll just point you in that direction instead. :good: Anyway, here's the link to the thread from last month, and here is MY post in that thread based on products that I purchased and am still using on a daily basis.
To sum it all up in a quick "Cliff Notes" form, I bought the AmazonBasics 2.1 amp charger from Amazon and it performs exactly the same as the OEM Samsung wall charger, except it's only a fraction of the cost of the OEM Samsung. You can pick one of the AmazonBasics 2.1 amp chargers for $8.99 here ------> AmazonBasics Wall Charger with USB Outlet (2.1 Amp Output) I hope this helps you a little bit in finding what ya need! :good::good:
Looking for one too.
I have the Hong Kong model and it comes with the UK plug.
Big, ugly and don't need/want it if I am not in UK.
It is removeable (the UK part) so there should be a EU, USA etc pins that will fit it but don't know where.

I'll try this out. I read the thread you reference, but then somebody posted a review on amazon that said they still ended up with slow charging on the Amazon Basic unit, so I got cold feet. I'll just give it a go. Thanks.

Yeah, as inexpensive as the AmazonBasics charger I referenced for you is, you should just try it out for yourself. As many people that have bought this charger and have had a great experience with it, in my opinion it's well worth at least trying it for yourself. If for some crazy reason you happen to get a "lemon," you're only out less than $10, so not too big of a deal really. I highly doubt that's gonna happen though lol. I use mine every single day. I actually split time between the OEM charger and the AmazonBasics 2.1amp charger, as I have two chargers(1 OEM and 1 AmazonBasics 2.1amp) at home and another charger(At work I use a second AmazonBasics 2.1amp charger that I purchased from Amazon after seeing how well the first one I bought compared to the OEM Samsung charger that came with the phone.) at work. :good:

Just an update... I bought the Amazon Basics charger from your link and it works great. Thanks for the heads up.
Hey everyone, been looking for a decent mobile battery that supports Quick Charge 2.0. The Qualcomm site lists only a single certified battery pack, the Ape Technologies MP5200Q (ape-battery.com/ljz/EnProductShow.asp?ID=221) which is only 5200 mAh and no where to be found on Amazon. The battery pack I'm thinking about picking up is the Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 10000mAh battery pack available at amazon.ca/Aukey-10000mAh-Portable-External-Supported/dp/B00S0OHKII/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top, which claims to support it while details about the charger does not specify if it's using a certified controller while emails with Qualcomm asking if this item is certified have gone unanswered.
Currently have a couple 10,000 mAh battery packs which are okay for charging my daughter's Nexus 5, it does a poor job at charging my Nexus 6 and I want to upgrade.
Searching XDA, found people asking for reviews of the Aukey battery pack or mentioning they want to buy one but at the time of posting it was not in stock at Amazon. There is one review on the Amazon site which gave the battery pack 2/5, which definitely sounds like a true review and not a paid advertisement, for not an ideal amount of charging power.
Is there anyone with any suggestions of their own, or maybe experience with this battery pack compared to other 10,000 mAh packs, before I jump on this one?
Thanks in advanced!
Hello all, I am sitting here waiting on delivery of my S4 LTE and watching the progress on the courier map, I am 104 and the van is currently on drop off 42.
To salve my impatience I am researching Type C cables, this is a new subject for me, and I wonder if anyone has experience of Ravpower, Anker, Aukey and (the new kid with great Amazon reviews) Volutz. Or any other worthwhile make.
This does seem to be a quite technical subject and with dire consequences if a poor choice of made. Amazon Reviews is replete with experiences of burning, melting and flames. Best to avoid!
It would help if Samsung themselves were to supply an optimal cable, but seemingly they don't.
Anker PowerLine+. Best cables out there in my experience. I've got 2 micro USB and 3 type C. Micro USB already outlasted any other cable I've had. Type C probably is a forever cable. Watch out as they come in USB 2 and 3 variants.
By brand reputation alone, I would definitely say Anker. I don't trust Aukey at all. Their products seem subpar, and they flood the Slickdeals forums with obvious shills posting their products and upvoting the posts. I have a ravpower wireless charging pad, and that seems pretty good. But everything I have from Anker has always been high quality. Their customer service is also excellent. Hold on, lemme cash this check. Just kidding.
I would check out Benson Leung's Google Page, https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung As he is the go to guy with regards to USB Type-C charging cables. In fact Amazon actually banned a few USB Type-C cables based on his reviews.
A few weeks ago, I bought two of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0718Z1MWF/
They are well made. They do support Power Delivery and video, as claimed. I used one to attach an Asus Zenscreen (DisplayPort over USB-C) to my S4. At the time I bought them, they were among the best priced cables that supported everything over USB-C. However, it seems that the Anker cables are now on a Black Friday sale for less.

Benson also has a reviewer page on Amazon. However, he hasn't posted a new review since May 2017.
I'm starting this thread as a reference for people who might be interested in where to purchase a fast charger for their phone.
I'm currently struggling to find any information about where to buy a fast charger, since I bought the Neptune Blue version (12GB/256GB) and the only option was an EU charger, although I need a UK one. I know that we can use adaptors, but that's not a long term, optimal solution.
So I have a couple of questions for the good people in here:
Does anyone know where to buy original Supervooc 50W charger ?
Any recommendations on similarly charging 3 party chargers ?
Does the OnePlus Warp/Dash chargers work for the X2 Pro? Any tests on that?
Please do not hesitate to add your experience with Oppo's proprietary charging technology.

Exactly, it seems that Oppo haven't prepared to sell those chargers separately and the only places you can find is a 3rd party from China.
Although I'm interested if anyone has tested maybe a OnePlus Warp/Dash charger.

Here I am! Proud owner of a OP3 since 3 days ago, switched to a 12/256 x2 pro.
I just tried, as per your request, to use the Dash op charger and in the home, I get the VOOC logo while in charge. Not that bad, but definitely not a superVOOC. It charges the phone quicker than any ordinary, yet overvolted charger, but not comparable to superVOOC.
My 2 cents

How many seconds of charge per percent of battery ?
I think mine is not as quick as before, since a power outtage at home, very strange..
Almost 40 seconds per percent, so definitely not the 30min for the 100% announced.
Are you supposed to be able to see the Super VOOC logo while charging full speed ?
@KaylordTheuZ
Thnk for testing.
could you please install the app "Ampere" from the playstore? (I on the Oneplus 3 get a read out of 3500 milli ampere with the 4 amp dash charger when below may be 40%)
Could you check the ampere on the realme with that?

Yup. Just made a comparison among the dash charger and the original one.
Realme charger (SUPERVOOC) : max throughput of 1850 mA @ 4,25V
Dash charger (VOOC) : max 1470 mA @ 4,23V.

Yes, sure. In the lock screen, with the charge percentage which fastly increases by step of 0.01.
I read about your power shortage and IMHO it could be a cause of damage to these chargers. Try to do as follows: install Ampere and compare your results with mine ( just posted a feedback to another user). I set the phone in charge while the phone is already @80% of charge remaining. Don't know if in case of discharged battery the charger pulls additional current in the first minutes, I'll try this out.
I don't think Ampere gives proper readings for Dash/VOOC. You're recommended to use the engineer menu (usually *#808#) but that doesn't appear to work on the Realme X2 pro (CN version).
I have contacted their customer service and received this message:

P.S. You can always use an adaptor, I see no issues here.
Can it charge with a regular 5v 2A charger?

Off course you can, but don't expect any VOOC neither superVOOC performance.
So seems UK version is non-existent. Great.
Does anyone know which adapter would allow the full capabilities of the VOOC charger?
It will comes with in the box right?
Dash charger is 20w. GSMarena said X2 Pro supports QC up to 18w.
Does anyone have any 25w or more to test?
Solution for V8 SuperCharger for Realme X2 Pro
Does anyone know where to buy original Supervooc 50W charger ?
Ans: Obviously from Oppo or Realme's official Stores and website. Do not trust Ebay or Amazon completely for that matter.
[*]Any recommendations on similarly charging 3 party chargers ?
Ans: SuperVooc is Oppo's tech but I guess original one from Oppo might be costly as compared to Realme.
[*]Does the OnePlus Warp/Dash chargers work for the X2 Pro? Any tests on that?
Ans: Works. 30w in also enough but it takes the usual 62-72 mins from 3% to 100%. Tested result. Also why won't u charge it fast in 50w speed rather than 30w,when both wattage results in pretty similar heating.
Note: Tested verdict. Any fast Supercharge tech will surely generate some heat and surely demands a battery change after 2-3 years depending on use. My 3 years+ old Oneplus 3 just had to change Battery. So I guess with 50w for Realme, its battery will run buttery smooth for max 2 years and upto 3 year with minimal use. Hope I answered upto your expectation.

Will surely work. My Mi Powerbank 10000mah 2i normally delivers 5v,2A. But will charge slowly, mine takes almost 1hr 28 mins from 12%. It surely extends battery life but is pretty slow. If u can wait that long, you can charge

I bought the 50w Chinese oppo one from eBay but it doesn't give 50w to the realme. Haven't measured the charge but it's noticeably slower
Maybe try the original cable with it.
ah you look on Aliexpress?
