Charging an IPV Mini

[HanaGirl]

Can I use an external battery pack to charge an ipv Mini?

I have a 10,000mAh external battery to charge my cell phone (Note 4, with a 3500mAh battery), which has 2 options for charging: 1.5v=1A and 2.5v=2.1A.

Is it recommended? Is it safe? Are there any precautions I need to take if I use the battery pack?

I haven't gotten around to getting an extra 18650 battery (and charger) for the ipv Mini. I've finally realized that it takes maybe 2-3 hours to charge the battery via the USB cable. But the one battery doesn't quite last me all day, depending on how heavy I'm using the Mini.

I usually carry a Volcano Inferno once the Mini dies, but the Volcano really sucks in comparison to the Mini. I'd love to be able to charge the Mini while I'm out and about.

I've added a pic of the external battery for specific information.

Thanks for all your help.

I would use the output #1 ( 1A) if no other option was available. The 2A output may be a bit harsh on the battery/circuits.
My Intellicharger outputs 5.3V so the 5V out on the pack should be ok...

and BTW its output 1 : 5V @ 1A and output 2 : 5V@ 2.1A... dont let those pesky colons confuse the numbers

gave it some more thought... hopefully the battery pack has some type of taper ( goes to a lower charge rate) when the battery is close to full... I think it should since its made to charge phones etc,,,

The taper down to a trickle charge status should be the function of the charging circuit in the ipv. The battery pack used for charging has no idea what you're doing with it, and should maintain a constant 5 volts.

I have one, I use an iPhone charging brick, it charges at 5v, 1A. I wouldn't go over 1A though. You should be fine
