Am I the only one?
7Hi meh. I’ve noticed that you guys occasionally sell power banks, but I’m looking for a couple that either have the fast-charge for the new Nexus 5x, or which at least can connect to it (since it uses the new USB-C connector for charging).
I feel like it might be a little selfish to request such a specific item, but I don’t think I’m the only one who would appreciate a product like this.
Moreover, asking for products here has been effective for me in the past, so I thought I’d try it again.

Not this again.
@Pantheist I like to be consistent.
@Pantheist You know how there’s something that happens near the end of every month here? …
(Hi, @therealjrn!)
@narfcake There are several other in line first if you recall…

Kudos, @Durago, on your continued consistency! Your efforts do not go unappreciated.
new… nexus 5x? you mean new to you? if so welcome to the nexus 5x club… if you think it is a new model… I have something to tell you…
I still recommend the anker powercore.

@thismyusername Yes, just new to me, lol. I know it’s not the latest model anymore, yes. It’s pretty great so far though!
@Durago I use mine daily, still runs great even on the latest os.
I ordered this from Rue LaLa today for $34.99. Seems like a Swiss Army Knife of chargers and has a USB-C cable:

LG 5x? It’ll go into bootloop before meh has a USB-C bank, which could be any minute now…
@RedOx
Apparently, the bootloop tends to happen to those who say it won’t happen by them.
Alternatively, it will happen to those who fear it will happen by them.
Surprisingly though, there are some people who have not had the issue.
@mflassy
I am one… never really had any (non software) issues to speak of with mine.
I just plugged a USB-C cable into the power bank I got here last year, and it works fine. It tops my phone off as fast as a wall charger, and slows the rate of discharge on my tablet. What you would expect from a 2 Amp source. Or is that the point, you need something heavier than 2 Amp?
@kaighintze So the regular power banks will work with USB-C, and I just need to get a new cable for the one I have? My budget thanks you, lol.

@mflassy
@durago I hate to risk being serious here but Anker has two nice USB micro to USBC adapters for about $10 on Amazon. I had a bunch of those disposable chargers lying around so I bought that. It works well for power but not data transfer
@readnj @Durago
Using adapters would (possibly) give a slower power speed than native Type-C.
@readnj My S8 came with an adapter.
@readnj I’ve used one of the micro usb to usb c adapters to transfer data. I admit I was surprised it worked.
yes
