What battery bank will I need to charge MacBook Pro 13"

[mpc91]

hi there I have 2 anger power banks 20100 when I plug one into the MacBook it doesn't do anything it says charging for a second or 2 then stops is this because there isn't enough power?

If I plugged the both in at the same time would it then charge my MacBook?

thanks

This is what I use for my 13inch 2017 MBP with TB —> https://www.amazon.com/mophie-power...&sprefix=mophie+powesta&sr=8-4&ref=mp_s_a_1_4

You need the one with PD / Power Delivery to be able to charge a MacBook. I just brought the one below. Not used it yet but it will charge it. Prob not that quick but as long as I have portable charging thats ok.

In order to charge your MacBook, it'll need to charge via USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD). It's possible your Anker power banks don't have that port or don't support Power Delivery. Please consider trying the ZMI PowerPack 20000 instead. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Powerbank-Blue-tinged-black/dp/B072BD98CM/

I'm using this https://lifepowr.co/product/a3-usb-c-pd-ac-powerbank/ and it's really good. The best thing is fast charging and battery capacity.

I got this just a couple days ago: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HM8X2ZM/A/mophie-powerstation-usb-c-3xl-battery/ It's kinda big but 45W output is much better than other brands' 30W. And its passthrough feature allows me to connect it to outlet on one port and MacBook Pro on the other port, so that one outlet can charge both the battery bank and MacBook Pro.
