Best Power Banks for LG G5

(Last Updated On: November 3, 2019)

The LG G5 is truly one of the best smartphones that LG has made and some might say that it’s the phone that truly started to change the direction that they were going.

In a way, that’s true. When the G5 was released it had some of the best specs on the market that rivaled flagships such as Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones or HTC smartphones too.

Now we have LG creating some other awesome smartphones such as the LG G6, LG V20, and the LG V30 too.

Even though LG G5 never took the fully modular functionality, the use of a removable battery is a very awesome feature that is now no longer existing with many newer smartphones.

The battery capacity of the LG G5 isn’t’ the largest but it’s good enough at a 2,800mAh capacity and when you add in the use of Quick Charge 3.0 then recharging the G5 actually becomes something that you can look forward to as you can charge the smartphone to its full power very quickly.

Since the LG G5 is actually quite small, and uses Quick Charge 3.0, using a power bank along with this small and fast charging smartphone is a great option. As you’re going to be able to charge your phone at a very fast rate while you’re on the move and use it at the same time.

That’s why we just wanted to go over the best power banks for the LG G5.

All Power Banks in this Guide:

[content-egg module=Amazon template=list]

Anker PowerCore+ 10050pic-1-1

Anker has quite a few 10,000mAh power banks and for good reasons too, as they’re very good at creating power banks that have mid-range power capacities while still making the size of a Mini power bank.

Mid-Range with Small-Range Size

That’s what this PowerCore+ 10050 portable charger is able to do as it has a length of only 3.7 inches and a thickness of 0.9 inches and so you’re able to hold this power bank with no problems while you’re using your smartphone and charging it at the same time.

You can even place this Anker portable charger into your pocket and use it later on in your day.

Minimal but Powerful Charging

When it comes to the power that this charger has, well, there’s quite a good amount. That’s because this PowerCore+ charger has a 10,050mAh power capacity and that’s enough to charge LG G5 to its full power at least twice.

Also, this charger uses a single USB port that features Quick Charge 3.0 port and therefore you’re able to charge your G5 at its max power.

Even though there are a lot of 10,000mAh power banks on the market that uses more than just a single USB port, the use of a single port means that you can make more use of the power capacity as it’s being used with a single device at all times.

Then there’s the recharging with this power bank and it’s also a really good part of the charger as the Micro-USB input port uses Quick Charge 3.0 and when you use a Quick Charge 3.0 USB wall charger to recharge it, you’re able to refill it to its max power within 3.5 hours.

PowerCore+ 10050 Pros

  • Features a Quick Charge port to fast charge your LG G5
  • Can be recharged at Quick Charge speeds with its Micro-USB input port
  • It’s made of Aluminum, so it feels a lot more premium to use and hold

PowerCore+ 10050 Cons

  • Only uses a single port, so you can only charge a single device at a time

Going from a rather simple power bank to this EasyAcc power bank is quite an abrupt change but it’s a necessary one as this portable charger is a really good one.

It has a 20,000mAh power capacity and that’s enough power to charge an LG G5 to its full power about 5 times or maybe, even more, depending on how many other devices you’re charging at the same time.

Then that brings us the USB ports with this charger, as there are 4 USB charging ports.

Four USB Ports to Use

One of the ports on this portable charger uses Quick Charge and that’s the one that you’re going to want to charge your LG G5 with. The other three ports on this power bank have a 5V/2.4A charging speed and so you can charge your Non-Quick Charge devices at their max power with those ports.

When it comes to using the standard ports, the max output is capped at 3.1A; while using the Quick Charge 3.0 port there are no limits and you’re always going to have access to charge your Quick Charge compatible device at its max power at it’s not limited by the 3.1A max output limit of the standard ports.

EasyAcc Doesn’t hold back with Recharging

The Quick Charge port has a recharge speed that can reach into the 3 Amp range and then when you add that together with the other standard Micro-USB input port that has a speed of 1 Amp, you get a max 4 Amp recharging speed as you can use both of the input ports at the same time.

A 4 Amp recharging speed results in a full recharge time of only 5 hours and that is very fast when you consider that it’s a 20,000mAh power bank.

Tronsmart Power 10,000mAh Power Bank with two Ports

This Tronsmart 10,000mAh power bank is yet another 10,000mAh portable charger that we have to recommend. Of course, if you’ve noticed, we find that a 10,000mAh power capacity is enough to charge a smartphone to full power about two times or in case you need more for another device too.

At the same time, power banks that use Quick Charge in the first place are ones that start at a 10,000mAh power capacity.

Trosnmart Presto 10,400mAh Quick Charge Power Bank

Another Tronsmart portable charger that we thought we would add is this Presto portable charger that basically has the same power capacity as the above charger.

What makes this charger different and in a way a little better than the previous power bank is that this charger is more accustomed to using for the LG G5.

It has a single USB-A port that uses Quick Charge, while the other port is the USB-C port. You can use a USB-C to USB-C charging cable with the USB-C port, and it has a 5V/3.0A. it’s still better to use the USB-A port for charging your LG G5, though.

Recharging this power bank is the main reason that we’re recommending this charger as you can use the USB-C port to recharge it, and you can use it with the same charging cable that you use to charge your LG G5. So all you need is right there.
