Answer

MSI Gaming and Content Creation laptops are designed for maximum performance and usually come with higher-wattage adapters (180W+). For better portability, modern models support USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD) as a backup power solution for light workflows on the go.

If you urgently need to charge your laptop without a wall outlet, a certified PD power bank can help extend your battery life during light usage.

Put the system into Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down to shorten the PD charging time.

If your laptop has multiple USB Type-C ports, check the user manual on the MSI official website to locate the specific port that supports PD charging.

 

*Note: 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.
