Are there any power banks that output enough to charge it while playing? I have some PD power banks but when I connect them it says they charge too slow.

I have the Anker 737 Powercore 24k powerbank, which is a 24.000mAh power bank capable of charging and discharging with 140w, which makes it a perfect Steam Deck powerbank as it can charge itself super quickly while still expanding the Steam Deck's portability massively.

Can charge the powerbank in 1 hour or less, while adding over 10 hours of gameplay to the deck - or more, depending on how power hungry the game is.

I think I might grab one of these for my next trip!

The one I have is the Baseus 65W power bank. Works great, but the deck eats it all in about an hour or so.

I also have the Baseus 65w. Very solid power bank. I'd recommend it.

When looking for a power bank suitable for the Steam Deck it needs to support atleast 45W Charging and you a suitable cable that will support this capacity (i.e a DECENT quality 3C cable).
