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

most will just slow the rate your deck discharges (if you're using it), you need a high output charger to actually charge it. Anker makes a few that will, i personally have the 737 and think its worth every single penny with the steam deck.

I can second this. I got mine on sale for $110, but even at full price it is worth it. With 140w of output power, it can even charge my Mac at full speed without issue.

how much extra charge does it give you on the deck?

[–] WASTECH 1 points 1 year ago

Just did some testing. While playing a game and pulling 22w, the battery says about 4 hours. While playing a game with a partially depleted battery pulling the full 40w, it says 2hrs.

If you limit the power you will obviously be able to stretch it quite a bit. Overall, quite a bit of extra playtime.
