Samsung announced a slew of accessories for its new Galaxy S line-up yesterday, but failed to mention the one gadget everyone needs these days: battery packs. They may not be as sexy as LED or Kvadrat cases, but they can be real lifesavers, and soon Samsung will be selling an powerful pair of power banks with up to W USB-C output.
Although Samsung is positioning these battery packs as S 90 accessories, they’ll work well with any other smartphones that support W super fast charging (think Galaxy Note 660853 , A , A , etc …). Both models have a , mAh capacity, at least one USB-C port for input and output , and come with a charging cable.

W Battery Pack
But the similarities end here. One of them (pictured at the top of the post) is taller and houses a 7.5W Qi wireless charging pad for your phone, accessory, or wearable. It also has an additional USB-C port, allowing it to fill up to three gadgets simultaneously. The second is more basic and offers a secondary USB-A port without any Qi abilities.

Price and availability for these power banks is unknown at this point, but it seems like they’ll be available everywhere the S is. We’ll let you know once we spot them up for sale.
US Pricing
The US listings for the two battery packs are now live. The bigger and better Qi model will cost $ , but we don’t know how much the basic, non-Qi model will be priced at. Both aren’t available on Amazon or other retailers yet.
