Hi,
I have a HP Zbook 15v G5 laptop that has a USB-C port (which I believe allows for an external power bank to be used to charge or temporarily power this laptop). I'm looking for advice on buying a portable power bank that I can use to charge and provide temporary power to this laptop. At HP.com I found the following power related specs for this laptop:
Nominal operating voltage: 19.5 V DC
Maximum operating power UMA < 120 W DIS < 150 W
Based on the above specs what type of specs do I need to be looking for in terms of finding a port. power bank that has enough power to adequately charge and/or power this laptop?
Any suggestions on a specific brand/model of portable power bank?
I already have an Anker PowerCore 20100 Model A1271 portable power bank which has an output of 5V - 4.8A. This Anker battery adequately charges iPhones but does not have enough power to charge my HP Zbook 15v G5 laptop. If I am able to find a portable power bank with enough power to charge or temporarily power this laptop will I also be able to use this same power bank to charge an iphone? Or does using a power bank with a high power output rating pose a potential threat to damaging an iPhone?
Thanks

Very simple, you need a compatible USB-C power bank rating 150W for example (I won't carry it)

I read the news yesterday, we will have USB-C chargers up to 240W will be available soon. More reading
