I recently updated my battery in my 13" with a non-branded Apple one as the original had swollen up in the case and was no longer giving me more than an hour or so of power. Apply have stopped providing repairs for those notebooks as old as mine (even if you pay for it), and getting genuine parts I've found isn't easy, especially as its hard to confirm if they're actually authentic several years on.

This new, aftermarket one isn't anywhere near the original capacity, more like 3 hours with conservative and careful use, but I need to start preparing to either replace it again in about 6 months, or think about power banks than can support the message power adapter which I can then use in combination to prolong battery time.

Are there any solutions for powerbanks where it comes with a megsafe power cord that I can use directly with the notebook?
