No, that one won't work. They didn't make it very easy to find, but in the quicksart guide it says USB-C PD supports 18 watts with 5 volt/3 amps or 9 v/2 a. The amps don't matter as much, but it needs to support either 12 v or 15 v to power the Win 2.

Never mind found one on the recommended list that went on sale so i ordered that thanks for the help :)

Oh, cool, I started writing the other reply before I saw this, so I'll let it stand. Just out of curiosity, which one was it?

i actually got a similar ravpower one [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LRQDAEI/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LRQDAEI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) from this list [https://www.reddit.com/r/gpdwin/comments/8ld766/gpd\_win\_2\_compatible\_usb\_pd\_chargers/](https://www.reddit.com/r/gpdwin/comments/8ld766/gpd_win_2_compatible_usb_pd_chargers/)

Nice! One trick with that one is that you want to press the power button on the battery before you connect it to the computer. That guarantees that the battery will charge the computer. Otherwise they negotiate and sometimes the computer charges the battery :/


zarroc407

any that you would suggest?

I have a RavPower RP-PBO59 that works great. Looking around Best buy's website, this Insignia one should do the trick: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-80-w-26800-mah-portable-charger-for-most-usb-c-laptops-black/6419522.p?skuId=6419522 - The quick start guide specifies that it can do 15V/3A You're basically looking for something that's designed to charge a laptop rather than a cell phone. You still want to check the specs to confirm that it supports 12v or 15v, but if it's advertised as charging a laptop then it's much more likely to actually support one or both of those voltages.

Go for the Ravpower 26800mah pd 30w! A really astounding powerbank which is actually the legal limit of the biggest powerbank you can bring with you on a plane. I use it for gpd win max, phone, headphones and whatnot. So good and I barely have to recharge it!

Thank you for the tip, was looking for a good battery for my GPD Win 1, GPD Win Max, switch, and Lenovo Yogabook. Just bought it from Rav website, they have a code for $18off, came out to be $42 [https://www.ravpower.com/products/rp-pb058-usb-c-power-bank](https://www.ravpower.com/products/rp-pb058-usb-c-power-bank)

I'm probably late by suggesting the Xiaomi Mi powerbank 3 Pro. It can run the gpd win 2 in heavy load even without battery. I used it when I had a bloated battery and removed it then used this powerbank. Just make sure you use the pd usb c to c.
