Best Power Banks for Galaxy Note 5 and Note 4

(Last Updated On: September 28, 2020)

Samsung is currently the leader when it comes to Android smartphones. They have their two most popular smartphones: the Galaxy S series which is the more standard lineup and then their larger phones are the Galaxy Note phones.

In this guide, we’re going to be focusing on Samsung’s two most famous Note smartphones and those would be the Galaxy Note 4 and Note 5. They brought larger screens with an awesome looking Super AMOLED display and lots of power when it came to their performance.

Another pretty big highlight when these phones were released is their very large battery capacity.

The Note 4 has a 3,220mAh capacity and Note 5 has a 3,000mAh battery capacity. Putting large batteries into the Note phones is basically mandatory as they consume lots of power when you’re using them.

The great part about this large phone is that both of them are Quick Charge 2.0 compatible and so you can use a Quick Charge charger to recharge them to full power very quickly.

That said, using a smartphone and charging it on-the-go is the best way to charge your device and that is why we’ve chosen the best power banks for the Galaxy Note 4 and Note 5.

These portable chargers have high enough power capacities to charge your Note smartphones to their full power at least once or more times.

Also, these chargers feature Quick Charge to charge your Note 4 and 5 at their max charging speed, and even though most of the power banks on this list feature Quick Charge 3.0, that’s okay. As Quick Charge 3.0 chargers are backward compatible to charge Quick Charge 2.0 compatible devices.

Power Banks in this Guide:

EasyAcc MegaCharge Doubin 16,750mAh Power Bank

The first portable charger that we recommend is one of the best power banks that you can get for the Note 4 or Note 5 simply because it’s concise and powerful with what it features. This is EasyAcc’s MegaCharge Doubin 16,750mAh power bank.

There are two USB-A ports, one features Quick Charge and the other port has a 5V/3.0A charging speed. Recharging for this power bank is basically the most important part of it though.

That’s because there are two input ports with this power bank. There’s a USB-C input that has a 5V/3.0A recharging speed, while the Micro-USB input has a 5V/2.0A input. The best part is that you can use both of the input ports at the same time and that can result in a 5A recharging speed.

With that recharging speed, you’re able to recharge this power bank within 3.5 hours, which is very fast for a 16,750mAh power capacity.

The Anker PowerCore+ 10050 power bank is one of the best single-port chargers on the market and that’s because it has all the power that you need in a very small form factor.

It has a 10,050mAh power capacity and that’s enough power to charge your Galaxy Note 4 and Note 5 to their full power at least twice. Sure, it’s not too much, but the power capacity of this PowerCore+ is part of what lends to the form factor too.

Quick Charge with the Output and Input

This charger also uses a single USB port that features Quick Charge 3.0 and therefore you’re able to charge your Quick Charge compatibles devices at their max charging speed.

Recharging this power bank is done through a Micro-USB input port and the input port on this charger also features Quick Charge and when you use a Quick Charge wall charger to recharge the power bank, you’re able to recharge it to full power in 4-5 hours.

One of the Smallest

The last part that makes this charger amazing is the form factor. This charger has a length of only 3.8 inches and a thickness of 0.9 inches. It’s just like carrying around a Mini power bank because you can place this charger into your pocket.

AideaZ 10,000mAh Power Delivery / Wireless Charging Power Bank

When it comes to wireless charging, you most likely just think about a wireless charger and not a power bank. However, that’s not really the case anymore and that’s because there are now power banks that make use of wireless charging, too.

Such as this AideaZ power bank that makes use of wireless charging, and it might actually be better for power banks to make use of wireless charging as you really don’t need a cable to use it. In fact, this mid-range power bank actually makes use of three output charging methods.

Two of them are ports, with one being a USB-A port that features Quick Charge. The one other port features an 18W Power Delivery charging speed. So there are actually two fast charging technologies on this power bank.

Along with that, there’s wireless charging when you place a Qi-compatible smartphone on top of the power bank, such as your Galaxy Note 5.

Something not power related but still pretty cool is that this power bank has a digital power capacity display. The display shows how much power is left to use with a percentage, and it also shows whether you’re using Quick Charge, Power Delivery, or standard charging.

Tqka 10,000mAh Power Bank

Since we’re living in an age where devices are changing quite drastically, it can be important to get power banks that are future proof. That is what this Tqka 10,000mAh power bank is and that’s because it uses two different input ports. The charger has a Micro-USB input port and it also has a USB-C input port.

Two Different Inputs with the same Tech

You can only use a single input port at a time, but on the bright side, each of the two input ports uses Quick Charge 3.0 and when you use a Quick Charge USB wall charger, you’re able to recharge this power bank to full power in about 4 hours.

The fast recharge rate can be attributed to the 10,000mAh power capacity and also for the Quick Charge tech of course.

Output charging with this power bank is very good but very minimal as the charger has a single USB port. The USB port uses Quick Charge 3.0 and can charge your Galaxy Note 4 and Note 5 at their max charging speed.

Overall, the way that you can either use the Micro-USB input port if you’re currently using the Note 4 and Note 5 is very useful.

Then if you upgrade to a USB-C smartphone such as the Galaxy Note 8, then you’re going to be able to recharge the power bank easily if you want to use the USB-C port.

Tronsmart Dual Port 10,000mAh Power Bank

EacyAcc 20,000mAh Power Bank

Lots of Ports

Another 20,000mAh power bank that we have to recommend to use with your Galaxy Note smartphones is this one from EasyAcc. It has had plenty of power when it comes to both its power capacity and charging too. With its power capacity, you should be able to charge your smartphone to full power about 5 times.

However, those full charges can also be contributed to other devices that you’re charging at the same time you’re charging your Galaxy Note smartphone.

That’s because you can charge a total of four devices with this power bank as there are four USB charging ports. One of the ports uses Quick Charge 3.0 and the other three USB ports have a charging speed of 5V/2.4A and that is really good since each of the other three ports is able to charge most standard devices at their max power.

4A Recharging Possible with its Two Inputs

The charging power from this power bank carries over to the recharging part of it. There are two Micro-USB input ports that can be used at the same time to recharge this power bank faster.

One of the Micro-USB input ports features Quick Charge 3.0 and the other one has a 5V/1.0A charging speed. It’s vital to know that you should use a Quick Charge USB wall charger with the Quick Charge input so you can get a 3 Amp recharge rate from it and when you use both of the input ports at max power you can have a max recharging speed of 4A.

It’s with a 4A recharging speed that you can recharge this power bank to its full power within 5 hours.
