It’s fine when you’re sitting in a chair, but…
Dangling a battery pack around is absolutely insane (*´艸`)
I bet 100% of people thought, “There’s no way I can move around with a battery pack like this!!!”
But then I came up with an idea… a way to make it work.
*Still untested. This is outside the specified use, so I’m not responsible if it breaks.
I’m not crazy, just joking, but I’ve been researching like crazy
because I’m 100% determined to use this with a mobile battery somehow.
And that’s when I found it…
XMHL USB-C PD Trigger Cable Power Plug Charging Cable [PD Cable Fast Charging Adopted PVC High Durability Sturdy Tangle-Free Design] Compatible Laptop 5.5mm/2.5 2.1mm 9V 12V 15V 20V
So there’s such a thing as a trigger cable…
This is incredibly convenient.
It’s a cable that manages the voltage for you.
There are issues on the battery side too, so you need to research carefully or you won’t be able to use it and might end up breaking it.
I was torn between 9V and 12V, and 9V seems to be out of stock?
9V would probably be warmer.
12V is about 10% higher voltage, but I figured it should be fine, so I went with 12V.
With this trigger cable, you can charge and power things like heavy laptop AC adapters without carrying them around—just use this and a mobile battery.
*Checking the voltage is super important.
I keep thinking, “Isn’t there a more efficient way?”
So it ends up being full of troublesome considerations. But researching is surprisingly fun and educational.
