Answer

USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD) technology enhances the portability of modern laptops, allowing portable power banks to provide supplemental power for the laptop battery while on the go.



To find a compatible USB Type-C power bank, visit the MSI website and check your laptop's original power adapter specifications on the product page.



Generally, for optimal performance, choose a certified PD power bank that meets the maximum PD input wattage supported by your laptop (power banks with certified safety or built-in charging protection are highly recommended).



 



For MSI laptops bundled with a high-wattage power adapter exceeding 100W (e.g., 150W, 180W, 280W, or 330W), select a PD power bank rated at 100W or higher to serve as an effective backup power source.



 



*Note:



1. Be aware that a power bank's maximum power output may be reduced when multiple devices are connected simultaneously. Please verify these multi-port distribution details with the power bank vendor.



2. The actual output power of commercially available PD chargers or power banks often falls below their labeled wattage due to battery aging, multi-port simultaneous usage, low battery level, or high-temperature protection. When the actual output cannot meet the laptop's requirements, it will lead to the following issues:



Unable to Charge: The PD protocol handshake fails, and charging is automatically aborted.



Frequent Toggling: The system falls into an endless loop of "successful handshake - failure". This not only fails to charge effectively but also accelerates the aging of the power bank/charger, significantly shortening its lifespan.



Recommendation: Please prioritize using the original power adapter, or choose PD accessories with sufficient rated wattage on a single port.
