Hello, I would like to ask if with the appropriate powerbank (for example 20000mAh and 3A output) it would be possible to charge the predator helios 300. Is there such a capability?

    Hi@Sofos 
    A laptop( 99% of them) needs 12–20volts of DC with 500ma-1.5a DC current to charge. But a power bank or a USB phone charger (a typical mobile 20000 mAh power bank) provides 5v DC and current 1–2A current so u can't.  A laptop requires 20–40W power to be charged, too much for power banks designed for cellphones (which require 4–5W). There are separate portable laptop charger available in market if you want to charge your laptop when you are moving around.

    even if you had sufficient input could you still charge it through the usb-c?
