[Leica] Portable Power Supply

[Spencer Cheng]

USB 3.1 power sources can deliver 12V and 20V. Other than plugin power supplies (i.e. the MacBook Pro PSU), I am not aware of portable USB battery banks that can deliver 12V. It would require different electronics (builtin power supply management silicon to do voltage conversion) or some other way of wiring compared to standard USB battery banks.

In any case, those are not likely to be very portable nor cheap.

Regards,
Spencer

The iPhone batteries are only 3.8 volts.  USB charging voltage is 5.0 volts, hence the SL can't charge from those, but many smaller devices can.
