That said, the output of that powerbank is pretty low. Laptops like 12v or 15V power. That powerbank puts out 18W at 12V. Again as I don't know what laptop you have, that could be okay, but it's pretty low. My Surface Book wouldn't charge at all with that power. I have a 45W charger (20V @ 2.25A) which just about works (it actually likes 90W, but I'm not buying more batteries!)
Thanks for the advice and now I know. Have found options which are costly but will see how I go with my 70Ah LiFePO4 first and see what additional power I will require before purchasing anything else at this stage.
