I use this 300w/290Wh powerbank when I go on road trips and wanted to see how long it could run a PC. I got about 45 minutes of play time off of a 90% charge and picked starfield as it is my most demanding game I own. Max draw on the powerbank was about 260w spikes and idled around 120. Now of course I’m contemplating how I can reduce my power draw to see how far I can push the limit with this little power source. PC specs in comments (nothing impressive but i’m sure some are curious)

PC specs at time of testing:
i5-9400f,
evga 2070S,
single channel 16gb memory,
1tb samsung ssd,
Corsair tx750 psu,
Some cheap corsair fans and some really old rosewill fans,
Asus monitor and logitech speakers were also powered on the bank,
yes i will be upgrading to new fans and a much smaller case soon, maybe newer mobo and cpu but idk works fine for my needs right now, heck it plays starfield
Swap GPU for RT4000 ada sff (if you can afford it):[https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/rtx-4000-sff-ada-generation.c4139](https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/rtx-4000-sff-ada-generation.c4139)

Ryzen 5 7600 @ 45w eco mode.
Also: I’ll probably never bring my PC with me on a road trip but I was curious as to what would happen and wanted to share. I normally use my powerbank to charge gopro/phone/powertools and that’s about it
Man, I’m gonna miss EVGA GPUs.
A gaming laptop might be a better choice here.
Only problem is you won’t get a low power warning
