Powerbanks Powerful enough to charge a computer? Look here!

If you are the lucky owner of a laptop that can be charged using USB-C technology, then you have ample opportunity to charge your computer on the go using a power bank.

Can you charge a computer with a power bank? If your computer supports charging using a USB-C connector, it can be charged using a power bank. Powerbanks are most often used for charging phones and tablets, but as USB-C becomes the preferred connector for charging, more and more computers are also compatible with USB-C charging cables.

In this post I highlight a number of power banks, all of which can be used to charge your computer, phone or tablet. However, charging a computer requires that it can be charged with USB-C.

The difference between charging a computer and a phone/tablet with a power bank

First of all, it is important to mention that when it comes to charging a computer, compared to a phone and tablet, it requires a larger capacity (mAh).

A full charge for, for example, a MacBook 12” is around 20,000 mAh. So if you want a power bank that can fully charge your MacBook, it must have a minimum capacity of 20,000 mAh.

You should also check how powerful a charger your laptop needs. A MacBook, for example, only needs 30W, while other computers may need up to 100W or more depending on the type.

However, it is often best to go for as strong a power bank as possible, as this will increase the charging speed considerably.

Can you really charge a computer with a power bank?

Technology in power banks is still developing rapidly.

A power bank allows you to be on the move while also charging your device without the need for sockets.

Powerbanks are primarily used to charge phones and tablets on the go, where you can just keep them in your bag or suitcase while they charge.

However, there are also people who have a need or interest in charging their laptops without being forced to plug into a socket.

Because as USB-C technology spreads, several computer manufacturers have also begun to integrate the popular technology. This means that USB-C is what is used to charge most computers, phones, etc.
