Powering Dell Latitude e7280 Laptop from PQi iPower 10000 Power Bank: USB-C5 Adapter Tips

The discussion revolves around powering a Dell Latitude e7280 laptop using a PQi iPower 10,000 power bank. Users express concerns about the feasibility of using a standard power bank for this purpose, noting that the power bank outputs 5V (2A), which is insufficient for charging the laptop. Suggestions include using a power bank that provides approximately 19V/4A, similar to the Dell power supply, but caution is advised due to Dell's sensitivity to power supply types. Some users mention that even high-capacity power banks may struggle to provide adequate power, often shutting down under load. The conversation highlights the challenges of using conventional power banks for laptops and the need for specialized solutions like inverters or higher voltage power banks.
