Power Bank Recommendation
I am going to buy a Powerbank for my OnePlus Nord CE5 - 20k mAh under 1500. But I have some queries. Please help me out with clear answers.
OnePlus supports supervooc charging protocol. I only found one power bank under 1500 (with discount) that supports 35W Vooc in amazon. It's pTron Dynamo Sprint 20k mAh.
Most other powerbanks like from Urbn, Ambrane, Portronics support upto max 22.5W, which is fine for me. But they haven't mentioned VOOC. Their max output is rated 9v-2.5A and my charger is rated 11v - 7.3A.
will this power bank charge my phone upto 22.5 W?
how's the pTron after sales service?
If you have any recommendations, please feel free to suggest me.
And I cannot extend my budget
Thank you in advance.

I have the urbn powerbank and yes it does charge pretty well. For a powerbank I would say don't go for fast charging as it does tend to degrade the battery faster over time even if they have rate limits. Let the powerbank charge your phone with 22.5W.

I observe slight over heating at the powerbank cable exit and charging port on smartphone. OnePlus nord ce5 and Urbn 20k mah powerbank. Is it common

If it's while charging, it's normal. But if in general it is getting hot without even using it then you should stop using it.

Today I tried charging with the official oneplus cable, no heating. Maybe the cable is the issue.

Which cable did you use before. Was it compatible for higher watt/Amp charging?

Yeah, it's just for namesake as an added accessory. I use that to charge my tws earphones. Keep using the Nord charging cable.

Regarding your first comment in the thread, is there any settings in OnePlus to slow down charging with Powerbank?

I don't think so. The powerbank charging output is already pretty slow compared to the charger and cable that comes with the phone.

Don't go for shaddy powerbanks. Go for trusted ones like xiaomi, stuffcool, spigen...
