Power bank for laptop?

Is there a power bank with which I can charge a laptop and use it at the same time? A normal laptop, not one that consumes extra little electricity?

Ma

Yes there's

Jo

Can you recommend one to me

to

Yeah yeah

A diesel generator if necessary - they are actually quite compact for camping…

Otherwise, if it's really about charging and not "using the power bank", a normal power bank is theoretically sufficient if you have USB-C PowerDelivery. My Thinkpad E495 PC, for example, can be charged with it. Then the Powerbank should be able to PowerDelivery and be a little bigger. Laptop batteries are so big from 40Ah, rather more. If the power bank is only 10Ah, that doesn't help that much…

Of course there's. What a "normal laptop" is is a matter of definition, but basically a power bank is just a battery. Of course you can use it to charge another battery. It's just a question of how full you get it.

So I would need a way to operate my laptop for about 4 hours outdoors

What kind of laptop do you have?

Ma

Clear. I always use a car battery. It lasts for a year.

Jo

Sorry for the late reply. A Dell Inspiron, the power adapter says 90 watts. Does that help?

A little. 90W could be enough for PD. USB C port available that also accepts power?
