Does the triton 500 support quick charge on the thunderbolt port while the laptop is off via powerbank/ac to usb c? I know that the pc uses a 180 watt brick and that usb c supports up to 100 watts, so im not planning on using it while charging via tb for safety. I just want it to charge a little (i dont really care too much about speed)  while i carry it around. The battery life is a little above 6 hrs from what I heard, so bringing a powerbank could be useful to extend it.  

I do not own this laptop so i cannot test it.

    TrooperZ Thunderbolt port doenst support battery charging see here for usb-c ports that support battery charging you have to have the symbol of the dc-in above in this picture like the acer spin5 have in the usbc port because they support charging via usb-c

    And as you can see thunderbolt doesnt have it


    Your only option here if you pretend to use a power bank you have to either make your own dc-in adapter using the dc adapter port or try to get one with already a dc-in built in and even so i have my doubts it would work as the mobo might not even accept it and also have to have the same voltage/amps as the power adapter

    Just an ex of a usb-c port supporting charging adapter here is the spin5 i own and the scheme if you dont have the symbol as i mentioned above it will not support charging input over usb-c only output


    Anyway hope this clarifies your doubts

    I found this power bank that has a regular dc cable output (comes with extra cables for different port types) that has a wattage of somewhere around 65 watts (some have 80). Do you know what the voltage of the DC port is, and will the laptop charge on that? Again, while the laptop is off.
