Hey tribe, I’m thinking to buy this Power bank:- https://www.mi.com/in/product/mi-hypersonic-powerbank-50w-20000mah/ As it claims that it can charge Laptop as well, & I’ve a MacBook. For me while I’m traveling or when there’s a power cut, It becomes very necessary to have a power bank for the laptop, Otherwise, the time gets wasted. So I’m thinking to buy this. What would you guys suggest & Do I have any other alternatives for that?

@happy-tent-25913 have you tried different cables and/or flipped the cables on both ends?

Hey @happy-tent-25913 So it isn't able to charge the macbook?
h
It is able to charge at a very slow speed. I was using the original macbook charging cable with usb c on both ends

USB-C isn't as universal as you'd think. Eg: My ipad doesn't even charge unless I plug it with the right flip.

For any apple device (or any "standard" USB-C device) to charge correctly, it needs both the charger and cable supporting USB C Power Delivery, and sadly most Chinese smartphone brands don't have their Power Adapter (or banks) support power delivery.

Sorry for potato quality shaky video. I was trying to plug the cable in with 1 hand. This is original charger and cable.
Even when you have power delivery, the rate is determined by the cable and both devices and... I guess flip orientation 😅
