I’m looking for known power banks that work (IE: charge the pocket). You need something that can produce at least 6v of output, so that scrubs a bunch of 5v stuff. Hopefully improves to the firmware will allow these to work as they are plentiful and I’m sure we have a bunch.
I bought a power bank that allowed you to use 16 18650 cells with it. Sadly it doesn’t support PD, only 5V at 2.1A. It would be awesome if this could work one day.
But in the meantime, and because I am trying to get the Pocket through a full day of work, what are you all using?
I also just tested again with my Anker 20000PD and it delivers around 1.4A to the Pocket Reform, but only when the device is shut down.
When it’s already booted and I plug in the power bank, nothing happens, the current display on the OLED doesn’t switch to negative and the red charging LED also doesn’t turn on.
But when I boot the device while the power bank is plugged in, then the charging continues while the device is running, with battery current on the OLED reported as -1.4ish and the side LEDs turning purple from both the blue and the red.
This feels like a software quirk and not a hardware problem.
