Hi, I recently bought an Intel NUC (NUC8i5BEK). I am planning to use an external battery pack (Poweradd Pilot Pro2 https://www.ipoweradd.com/prod_view.aspx?TypeId=10&Id=274&Fid=t3:10:3 or
Sandberg Powerbank https://sandberg.it/en-us/product/Powerbank-20000-for-Laptop ) to power it when necessity arises. I would have 2 questions if somebody can gently help:
- Does this set up work? Has anybody tried it before? The NUC will also need to provide energy to the external screen which is solely connected with a USB-C (Asus MB16AC, no independent power).
- The NUC has a USB 3.1 port in front which is defined as "charging". If I connect the external battery pack to it (with a USB cable), would this be sufficient to power the NUC? Is this something that makes sense?
Thank you!
P.s. there is a similar thread on the forum, but I have some limitations on the battery (I understand that airlines impose a limit of 27,000 mAh for hand baggage...)
