what voltage to charge mbp with power bank ?

[osculum_est_mortis]

my Powerbank can do 12V/16.5V/19V/20V/24V . my Thinkpad takes 24v although I fried another laptop from using 24V. can the MacBook Pro handle 24V ? newb question ! its a MBP 2017 Touch Bar it takes a 61W usb c adapter at the wall

Your MBP will auto select which power profile to use. We become picky with the powerbank when you want to fast charge

ok sure, but on my Powerbank I have to manually select which voltage to use .. so what should I set it to ? . can Mac take 20V

Do you have a MacBook Pro charger? Look at the markings on it and match that voltage.

IMHO a MBP 2017 is definitely worth the investment of an original Apple charger....

If you really want to experiment with a powerbank, you could measure the voltage of the charger.
Note that current is much more important than voltage , and can have a direct impact on the performance and expected lifetime of a battery....
