AskWoody PlusDecember 6, 2020 at 11:06 pm #2317722Hey Michael, thanks for a very interesting and useful peripheral hardware guide. It struck me that you might have some insights into a wishlist issue of mine. I seek a portable power pack that can be used to recharge a Gigabyte Aero OLED YB 15, which has the usual round input charge plug from a stepdown 110-240V mains transformer. As far as I’m aware, all other slots (eg USB 3.0) are power-out only or (USB-C/Thunderbolt) data-transfer only. Do you know of a portable power pack that might be useful in this situation? The output requirements are in the attached image.

As laptops have a built-in portable power supply (battery) I doubt you will find additional portable units for that voltage.
What you will find is portable AC units, like the ones here.cheers, Paul
