I have had the S7 Edge and was using 10,000mAh Xiaomi Powerbank (https://www.gearbest.com/power-banks/pp_492337.html)
I see there is a this new model https://www.gearbest.com/power-banks/pp_607728.html with Type C with USB.
Question:
Can I use the Type C port to charge the Pixel 2 XL? or would I have to use a USB to Type C cable to charge the phone?
Are they any other powerbanks with close to 20,000 mAh capacity for Pixel 2 XL?
I need it mainly for travel.
Thanks
sweet! thanks. Didn't even know that this model existed. Will have to keep an eye for a sale now!
Look for a powerbank that has quick charge 3.0, also refered to as qc 3.0.
Wrong. Pixel phones do not support QC.
Thankyou for enlightening me.
No worries, I made the same mistake myself. Bought 2 4 port QC chargers and a QC car charger in anticipation of my Pixel 2 XL, only to find out afterwards they wouldn't fast charge my new phone!
Oh well. At least I can try and prevent it from happening to others!
I see there is a this new model https://www.gearbest.com/power-banks/pp_607728.html with Type C with USB.
Umm that powerbank, the USB-C is only for CHARGING the battery, it won't charge a phone via the port.
Source : I own one :/
Really? The description says charge and discharge from USB C port. Crazy! So it's wrong or your one is broken?

Unless they have updated the device recently, the spec page is wrong.

The latter link, seems to say the issue came about from a bad translation.
I own four of these, USB-C does not output power.
This isn't an issue as I just use the USB -> USB-C cable to charge the phone, and the normal USB-C charger to recharge it.
Really convenient, love 'em.
Yeah, but you likely don't own a Pixel phone like the OP does.
Unfortunately I dont have a USB to Type C cable. Weird, google only supplied a type C to type C in the box.
The ZMI seems to be a better option anyway since it's double the capacity.
Oh but I do, and so does my partner.
It's fine, it comes with the Xiaomi Pro one. We just use that one to charge the phones, and at home use the Pixel chargers to charge the power banks.
We have a lot of them as we've both gone from Nexus P, to Pixel XL to Pixel 2 XL so a lot of USB-C wall chargers.
We travel heaps too, so having so many power banks is awesome.
I use a Cygnett ChargeUp Pro 20k and a Xiaomi ZMI 20k.
Have both. Don't ask why.
I use this one: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-universal-10000mah-type-c…
It can be charged, and charge phones, via Type C at decent speeds, it's made pretty well and it's actually quite cheap.
I see you're looking for something a bit larger….buy 2? :-)
The ZMI one above looks pretty good, if you can find one at a reasonable price.
If you want it to charge the phone quick, you need a USB PD power bank…I think it's called the ZMI.

The one you linked is QC based so it will charge your phone, but not quickly.
Otherwise, any will do.
