I have a galaxy s7 and I want some portable charging and I want a power bank that integrates a s7 charging cable. What is a fast and safe power bank under $15 ?

Don't go cheap on that. Save your sheckles, pick up an Anker PowerCore with quickCharge built in, worth every dime for my S7 edge.

those 3 do not go together...

- beyond usb power negotiation i dont know of any power bank that's "faster" than others

- dont buy chinesium, and you'll be fine.

- if you're fine with having next to no capacity, you'll find some great deals below $15 :P

So... you want any battery bank that is under $15 then? No idea what you mean by "integrates a s7 charging cable"

It doesn't :P It used Micro-B. And yeah, not Type-C packs (N6P here, frustrating). OP, all battery packs I've ever experienced uses Micro-B to charge.

 

If you can shell out another $5, this is an amazing option. One of two that I own, and carry with me daily. The other I carry is the 20kmAh version that is Lightning cable charging compatible.

 

From experience: Don't buy a crappy battery, buy from respectable and reputable brands. Battery degradation is a thing that happens. My 6600mAh PNY charger only holds about 5000mAh capacity after 6 months. My 20kmAh Aukey still holds within 100mAh of that capacity after a full year.

i have a pair of these with sponsorship printed on them: http://www.diytrade.com/china/pd/12835062/10_200mAh_portable_charger_power_bank.html

they're decent units, but sadly the controller in them is really derpy, and seemingly every "rebrand" (really, companies buy these by the pallet with their logo printed on them to sell them as their own) charges like $30 and up for them...

 

EDIT: or this guy that probably got stupidly rich off them...

Not a bad brand at all, but I will say, $5 more for 7000mAh is more than worth it. It's your money and I can't spend it for you, but if I could, I would spend differently.
