Anyone test external Laptop Battery packs yet?

Wait what? People want a powerful machine… and then complain about it needing a lot of power.

Well it shouldn’t be a surprise that powerful hardware needs a lot of energy.

This one works great. It’s able to provide 100w of usb-c power. Not tons of capacity but can do abt one charge w/ my 11th gen framework.

This one (Baseus 100W) works well, about 1 charge

Just a bit of advice, the optimal usage of a power bank (that is, getting the most runtime from it) is to start with the laptop fully charged, running off the power bank.

The draw of charging and running the laptop increases power loss in the bank from heat.

Old thread now i know, just wanted to add some testing to this:

ryzen fw13 will pull about 70w when charging and running hard so its useful to have something that can provide 100w out if needed.
The jackery 99.9wh ‘plus’ has been pretty good for me so far, about 110 on sale and uses LFP batteries so longer life at least in theory.
Shape is a bit naff as its a square but will give a few hours if already charged and is flight compatible.
