¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are/were there any external batteries/power banks for the previous versions of the MacBook Air, specifically the 11 inch models?

I still use one from 2015 which has excellent battery life, and I know it's possible to replace the internal battery when it wears out, but on the go it could still be useful to extend the mileage.

not wishing to appear facetious, the only external 'power banks' i'm aware of for 11" MBair is the wall socket.
that said, internal replacement 5100mAh batteries are available from AUS$60 on aus ebay and are a vey simple DIY.
my replacement is good for 6 hours normal tasks

No problem at all, thank you for your reply. I had gathered as much from my research. Mine is still also good for many hours of work, perhaps even closer to 8h if I'm not pushing it, which is pretty amazing for a notebook that's turning 9 in a few months. I didn't know about the DIY though so that's something I'll keep in mind when the battery begins to degrade. I really like this computer so I intend to keep using it as long as I can. Thanks again.
