Morning everyone.
I'm looking at replacing my PowerMagic with a Power Bank. This will be used to supply my SG9665GC, and possibly a rear camera as well (wiring might be a challenge!). Elsewhere the Xiaomi 20000mAh was recommended (although I can't find that thread now).
My questions are:
And a side question - I have another accessory that needs max 12V 1.1A. This cranks up to 2.5A at 5.1V (plus converter margin). Can I use a 5V USB>12V converter for this or am I asking too much of the USB port (and this power bank)?
And I guess a catch all - any other recommendations for a car power bank?
TIA!
Cheers

My questions are:
- Can the power bank be charged AND supply the camera simultaneously (ie ignition on and camera running at same time)? (My current phone power bank can only do one or the other.)
- Does it automatically deliver the 5.1 V required for the SG9665C (spec says 20000mAh @ 3.6V; 12700mAh @ 5.1V but doesn't describe auto-sensing of the required voltage of the connected device)?
- What is the maximum output current per port? (spec says both 2.1A and 3.6A - which is it?)
- Any heat or fire risk issues with running it in this configuration?
- Spec indicates it can take 12V 1.5A charging - is this through the mini-USB port?
And a side question - I have another accessory that needs max 12V 1.1A. This cranks up to 2.5A at 5.1V (plus converter margin). Can I use a 5V USB>12V converter for this or am I asking too much of the USB port (and this power bank)?
