Convert sockets to USB?

I don't know if that is described correctly. Have a laptop that does not charge with USB-c but with the normal socket cable. Would like to load it on the go with the power bank I bought an extra 25000. Is there a way to convert the socket with an adapter to USB? Otherwise it won't work.

"normal power cord"

Isn't there a power adapter?

Di

Nope, that's not possible ☠️

There are small boards that can do that

e.g. ZY12PDN
There you can set the requested voltage for USB-C PD
Cost about 3-5 euro each

So if your laptop has one of the voltages of the USB-C PD standard and doesn't need too much power (I think max 65W), that's fine.

I did it with my laptop too!

What do I know what that means. You know what I mean.

Stinknormal laptop charging cable stop. Knubbel goes into the device. Plug into the wall

I have doubts that this is possible!

USB-C is designed to charge with voltages other than 5 V, but can a power bank do that too?

Most laptops tend not to be charged with 5 V and are very varied! There are probably power supplies (depending on the laptop) from 12 V to 42 V! Even converting to USB-C would be very difficult, even if charging via USB is already planned! If not, it is almost impossible because USB ports are usually also controlled by software, especially USB-C ports, which only regulate the charging voltage by communicating with the power supply!

Ti

There are power banks that support USB-C PD (I don't know if it's one)
You can simply request the suitable voltage via USB-C PD that the laptop needs (my laptop needs 12V, so I ask 12V for my USB-C PD power supply or power bank)

Hmm, not uninteresting. I briefly watched a video on YouTube.

For me, however, it looks more like connecting the charging cable to a PowerBank via the board! THAT could of course work well! However, you do not rebuild the laptop, but build an adapter between PowerBank and normal charging plug!

Ne

I have little experience with it so far, but I have had quite strong power supplies and USB-C goes up to 65 V. I have no idea how high a USB-C PowerBank can regulate!

Ne

Hmm, was probably the power (even up to 100 W).

Up to 20 V and 5 A (= 100 W) are specified!

OK, I was able to google 20 V PowerBanks… Nevertheless, you have a converted plug rather than a conversion on the laptop itself!

That goes with a few things for each device there's something look at this here

That was my doubt. I don't know of a notebook that hangs directly on a 240V power cord. Special something:

Called external power supply and usually runs over 12,14 or 16 volts.
But it says.

And of course you can't install such a chip in the laptop and thus have a USB-C PD charging port?

Incidentally, that's exactly what I've done to myself.
I have the normal and USB-C PD (upgraded) port
