Best High Capacity Fast Charging Power Bank for Samsung S/Note 10/9/8 series
Romoss 26800 18-watt USB-C PD
Both these excellent power banks come with the highest TSA-allowed battery capacity (27000 mah or 100 Watt-hours) and will fast recharge Samsung S10, S9, S8, Note 8, etc. five times or charge S22, S21, S20+, Note 10 fully about 4 times. While both are perfectly good portable chargers for your S10/S9+/S8 or Note 10/9/8, we are describing their differences in detail to help you make an informed choice.
Romoss 26800 USB-C PD 18-watt comes without any bundled wall charger and it can be recharged either by a standard USB 2.4 amp wall charger in 14-15 hours or by a 18-watt USB-C PD wall charger in ~10 hours. Romoss 26800 USB-C PD will also recharge your iPad, Nintendo Switch, iPhone 13, 12, 11, 11 Pro, XR, iPad Pros, X/8/8+, and most other USB-C Android phones at 18-watts fast charging speed.
We recommend buying a USB-C PD portable charger such as Romoss 26800 USB-C PD as both Google and Apple are moving towards USB-C PD in their latest phones. The latest iPhones (iPhone 12/11/XR) and iPads also support USB-C fast charging.
A Note on chargers: To charge Romoss 26800 USB-C PD in 3-5 hours, use a USB PD wall charger such as AmazonBasics 36-watt USB PD charger or Anker Powerport II USB PD wall chargers (and not a 30 watt regular USB-C charger). We recommend either AmazonBasics 63-watt USB PD charger or Anker 36-watt Powerport III Duo as these will charge both your PD powerbank and your S10/S9/S8/Note 9/Note 8 simultaneously at fast speeds (18 watt PD + 18-watt PD) from a single watt outlet.
Pros
- Zero to 50% charge for Samsung S9, S9+, S10, S8, Note 9/8 in about 30 mins
- Fastest charging for all Samsung smartphones including S22, S21, S20, S10, S9, S9+

- Can be charged directly with Samsung USB-C wall chargers in 12 hours or with USB-C PD charger in 10 hours
- Can also be charged with both a USB-C wall charger or a regular wall charger in about 14 hrs ( using 2 amp wall charger).
Cons
- An option with bundled USB-C wall charger would have been good.
Anker PowerCore+ 26800 USB-C PD bundled with USB-C wall charger
Anker PowerCore+ 26800 USB-C PD is Anker’s latest version of its PowerCore+ 26800 high capacity USB-C PD power bank and comes in three flavors – 87 watt, 60-watt and 45-watt for charging laptops and all latest USB-C phones and tablets.
It is a great choice if you require both a portable charger and a quality USB-C PD wall charger as the bundled USB-C wall charger will cost about $30+ if purchased separately.
The Anker Powercore+ 26800 PD can be charged by the bundled 60-watt USB-C PD wall charger in less than 4 hours.
The Anker Powercore+ 26800 PD will also recharge all devices requiring USB-C PD such as Macbooks, USB-C ultrabooks, iPad, Nintendo Switch (while being played), iPhone 12, 11, XR, X/8/8+, and all latest upcoming USB-C Android phones at their fast speed. As both Google and Apple have adopted USB-C PD charging in their latest phones, it is a great choice to charge both laptops and phones from a single power bank.
Besides being future proof, an added advantage of USB-C PD portable chargers is that high capacity USB-C PD portable chargers such as Anker Powercore+ 26800 PD or AmazonBasics 26800 USB-C PD can be charged much faster over USB-C PD ( under 4 hours).
Pros

Does the Anker Powercore 26800 with 3 USB port PowerIQ, is it Compatible with SG note 9?
Hi Johner, Yes, Anker Powercore 26800 is compatible with Samsung Galaxy Note 9 but does not offer fast-charging and it takes very long to charge the powerbank (12 hrs minimum). Instead we recommend that for just 3-4 more dollars, you can get Anker PowerCore+ 26800 which will fast-charge your Galaxy Note 9 in half the time and will also get recharged very fast (5 hrs) using the Note 9 wall-charger.
Thanks!
Thank you for the guide. I just went ahead and bought the RAVPower 26800 mAh USB C PD charger along with the Anker Powerport II USB PD wall charger (separately).
