Ghost Silver, 15-dw0037wm
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I purchased this laptop months ago and am trying to upgrade it with a large power bank that can also charge via solar panels.

www.walmart.com/ip/HP-15-6-HD-Laptop-Intel-Core-i3-8145U-8GB-SDRAM-1TB-HDD-Ghost-Silver-15-dw0037wm/...

This is the power bank that I purchased that comes with 8 power adaptors to plug into the power port on the laptop, but doesn't come with the right size.  The power bank has 4 different voltages it can be set to, which isn't exactly 19.5 volts.

The laptop appears to use a 1 AC smart pin size pin?

I don't have a size for the adaptor on the power bank.


Can I and how do I connect this power bank to this laptop to use it?

You answered your own question -- without the proper plug, you basically can't connect it.

That is what I am asking is what the proper plug or adaptor, means of connecting them is?

Sorry, I don't have the plug detail information.  If you get the part number from the charger and look that up online, the various suppliers might also have the plug information you need.  I was able to do that for a power supply for an HP All-in-One.

I had posted a link to the power bank in the top post it can be set to four different voltages  12v, 16.5v, 20v, and 24 v.

Companies web page, but they do not have this charger on their actual page.  It's new?

I don't have the details to continue this.  You need to know the detail plug information -- which you might be able to get from the sites that carry the HP charger.  Then, you need to know the plug details for your power bank -- and two of them have to match.  I can't help you any more with this.

Anyone have any ideas, things I can buy to do this or another place to get the answers on this site?!?

I don't know the HP site very well.  How do I get an answer?!?
