hey guys, can someone recommend a power bank/external battery that could power a lap top for about 6 hours?
thx

The problem with your question is that we don't know how much power your laptop draws.

im big newbie on tech..

how do i find how much power my laptop draws?

Ok, so you're a newbie on tech. Let me ask you some basic questions to understand why you even want a power bank for a laptop.

A laptop usually comes with an AC adapter. That power brick where one end plugs into the outlet and the other end plugs into your laptop, and this gives it power while also charging your laptop. So in situations where there is no outlet, you'll be running off the battery.

Now you want a power bank which is like having a second battery or having an outlet when there is no outlet. I don't know why you want a power bank. Are you trying to double up on your battery duration? Like your battery right now lasts 4-5 hours and you want to go another 4-5 hours but there's no outlet to charge?

What are you using your laptop for that you're in an environment that doesn't have an outlet for more than 4-5 hours?

my laptop runs on battery for about 50 mins, i use it to work, play old video games, music, stream vids

problem is i am currently in lebanon and tend to lose power daily, for internet i just use my phones personal hot spot, but if i have to work longer than 40-50 mins when the power is out i cant :\

e/ power goes out on a scheduel.. 8am-10am, 12pm-2pm, 4pm-6pm, 1am-6am....
and the am is when i need it most...

What is your AC adapter wattage?

Or you can choose one for yourself from APC. Below are links to some of their products that may or may not work for your needs, and each product page has a calculator already.

I can't find the product page for the one I use for my home office. But below is a link closest to what I use.

I don't know how things work in Lebanon. However can I suggest getting a power inverter and plugging it into your car. Not sure if this will work for you. also there is the generator option. At that point you can run other things as well I.E your fridge.

thx for the tips but ended up going with a ups unit
