(Last Updated On: April 29, 2019)

It might seem strange to have a guide that covers the best chargers for a smartphone and a tablet but in this case, it makes sense. That’s because the Nexus 6 (the smartphone) and the Nexus 7 (the tablet) each have similar battery capacities and they each use Quick Charge 2.0 to charge.

Nexus Battery Capacity

Nexus 6 Battery Capacity – 3,220mAh

Nexus 7 Battery Capacity – 3,950mAh

Overall, they have very similar battery capacities which is why we’re creating a guide for their best chargers together.

Also, when you add in the fact that they’re both compatible with Quick Charge 2.0 there’s even more of a reason to consider the same types of chargers for these two devices. That said, let’s take a look at some of the best chargers to use with your Nexus 6 smartphone or your Nexus 7 tablet.

Some Chargers mentioned in this Guide:

Portable chargers for the Nexus 6 and the Nexus 7

When it comes to choosing a portable charger for your Nexus device you actually don’t have to go way into the high capacity range as the Nexus 6 smartphone has a really good power capacity and the Nexus 7 tablet is really mid-range when it comes to a tablet’s battery power.

You’re definitely going to want to have enough power to at least have a single full charge and one that features Quick Charge with one of its ports.

EasyAcc 20,000mAh Power Bank with Quick Charge 3.0

Starting it off is this EasyAcc portable charger. It has a 20,000mAh power capacity and that means you’re able to charge your Nexus devices to their full power about 4 times, so it can last you a few days if all you’re doing is just charging a single device at a time.

Four Ports to Use

With that said, what’s even better with this power bank is its use of 4 USB charging ports, with one of the ports featuring Quick Charge 3.0, and since Quick Charge 3.0 is compatible with Quick Charge 2.0 devices, you’re able to charge your Nexus devices at their max charging speed.

Of course, there are the other 3 USB ports that each have a charging speed of 5V/2.4A and that means you can charge standard devices at their max charging speed while you’re charging your Nexus.

Double the Recharging

The other great part with this power bank is its recharging because it has two Micro-USB input ports.

One of the Micro-USB input ports uses Quick Charge and the other one has a 5V/1.0A charging speed.

You can use them both together and that can result in a 4A recharging speed, so long as you’re using the Quick Charge port with a Quick Charge USB wall charger and that will result in the power bank being recharged to its full power within just 5 hours.

Anker PowerCore+ 10050

This 10,000mAh power bank is one of the best on the market, mostly because it’s from Anker. A brand that is well known for creating some of the best charging electronics on the market.

That said, this PowerCore+ 10050 is a small charger that is packed with quite the punch. It has a 10,000mAh power capacity so you’re able to charge your Nexus 6 or 7 to its full power about 2 times.

Minimal but Powerful

The best part of this PowerCore+ charger is the use of its single port and that’s because you’re able to make the most of the power capacity when you charge a single device.

Also, the usage of a single port makes the power bank smaller so you’re able to be more portable with this charger as it can fit into your pocket and you can easily hold it too.

Quick Charge Output & Input

The USB port features Quick Charge 3.0 which is the best part as you’re able to charge your Quick Charge compatible device at its max charging speed with this mid-range mini power bank.

The Output port on this power bank isn’t the only part that features Quick Charge, as the Micro-USB input port on this power bank also uses Quick Charge.

So, by using a Quick Charge wall charger, which we also recommend to use in this guide, you’re able to recharge this power bank to its full power within just 3.5 hours.

Anker PowerCore Speed 20000

If you want a high capacity power bank with basically the same specs as the above PowerCore+ 10050, then we recommend Anker’s PowerCore Speed 20000.

That’s because it has two USB ports with one of them using Quick Charge and the other port has a 5V/2.4A charging speed to charge most standard chargeable devices at their max speeds.

The Micro-USB input port for this power bank also uses Quick Charge further proving that it’s basically a higher capacity version of the PowerCore+ 10050 which can be very helpful if you want longer lasting power.

Aukey 16,000mAh Power Bank with Quick Charge 3.0

The final power bank that we have to recommend for the Nexus 6 and the Nexus 7 is this Aukey 16,000mAh power bank, as it fits right into the mid-range capacity category of the portable charger.

Its power capacity is what makes this charger have easy portability as it has a slim form factor that allows you to place it into a pocket or to carry it around. Of course, the power capacity can lead to about 2.5 full charges to your Nexus device.

Slim Form Factor with Quite a Bit of Power

There are two USB output ports on this power bank, with one of the ports featuring Quick Charge and the other port has a standard charging speed of 5V/2.4A.

As a result, you can charge you Quick Charge device at its max charging speed and still charge a tablet like iPad at its max charging speed at the same time.

This Auky power bank uses a Micro-USB input port to recharge and it has a 5V/2.0A recharging speed, so there’s no Quick Charge recharging here, but for what it offers with its slim form factor, use of two ports with one using Quick Charge and a high power capacity, there’s a lot more positive here than the negative.

Also, whether you have just the Nexus device that you want to use Quick Charge with or if you have multiple devices that can use Quick Charge.

Anker PowerPort 2 + with Quick Charge 3.0

The Anker PowerPort 2 USB wall charger and other wall chargers like it are as simple as it’s going to get when it comes to a Quick Charge wall chargers that have another port.

That’s because this one has two ports, with one of the ports featuring Quick Charge and another port that has a standard charging speed of 5V/2.4A to charge standard devices such as Non-Compatible Quick Charge devices at their max charging speed.

Aukey 6-Port USB Charging Station with Two Quick Charge Ports

There’s are also USB all chargers that go above the 4-Port range and these are USB charging stations and they’re called that because of the various ports that they use.

Fast Charge Two Smartphones and Charge another Four

In this case, the above is an Aukey 6-Port USB charging station and chargers like these are quite helpful as they can have two Quick Charge ports and so you can have two Quick Charge compatible devices charging at the same time.

Not only is that amazing, but you can also have 4 other standard devices charging at the same time as well, as each of the normal ports has a charging speed of 5V/2.4A.

That said, if you’re using the two Quick Charge ports, then it’s best to use a single standard port as the max output of this USB charging station is 10A and using more than a single standard port while using two Quick Charge ports can result in the splitting of power.

Anker PowerDrive+ 1
