Anyone get an external power/recharging device for the 950 you would recommend?

Thanks. The review is from August 2015, are all those power banks compatible with the 950 and its USB-C connection? I don't know much about power battery technology and the various USB ports. Thanks.

I should have read that

The important thing about any power bank is the USB connector and the output current. The higher the current, the faster the charging up to a certain point. For the 950, the max current is 3A

Sony just released new ones with usb and fast charging supposedly. Those are looking good!

It doesn't matter what type of battery pack you get, as long as it has a USB connection. You can just use the USB-A (old, wide plug) to USB-C cable you use to connect your phone to your computer. Try to get one that is at least 1.5 amps though. If you go under that, it might look like the phone is discharging (even though it's not) due to the battery pack not being able to charge the phone fast enough.
