Help! Power bank / pack for laptop wanted.

HappySad

Hi, can you recommend power packs or banks for a laptop. I think that’s what it’s called. Basically I would like a portable unit that I can plug into my laptop to give extra power for my laptop when out and about.  I own a Lenova and a Dell laptop.  Any info, ideas or useful web links most welcome.  Many thanks

I bought this from Amazon last year. Heavier than the average charging bank but has a UK 3 pin socket as well as various phone charger ones and gets the job done.

Unfortunately although a small power bank is fine for a smartphone, laptops need a lot more juice, so although a 20000 mAh power supply might be fine to charge your phones from flat five times, it would probably only run a 50-60W laptop for an hour and a half.

I have one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B081DSC1HD/ which can supply USB, car accessory and 3pin mains power for over 300Wh, so it will do several hours for a laptop or small projector without having to run a mains extension to the other end of my patio. 

Heavy though, being same sort of weight as a car battery so you wouldn't want to carry out around in a pocket or handbag...

Most laptops have replaceable batteries - you could just buy another one and swap it out when you need it.
