Can phone powerbanks powerful enough to charge a Steam Deck, or at least keep it alive?

    Thanks so much for this, it’s what I really wanted to know.

    Is the conversion from mAh to Whr something you can explain to a five year old, or should I really just search-engine that conversion if I need to in the future?

      Watts are amps * volts, so the conversion depends on the voltage. So for example 20000mAh at 5V is 100Wh.

      You shouldn’t have to do any conversion, the whr value is what’s used to allow or not powerbanks on airplanes so that value is either clearly in the specs, or if you already have it, on the bottom :)
