Please share your experience and knowledge. I tested, it worked but I am a bit afraid. What do you know about it?. Is it a risk for the battery ? for the camera? what type of power bank can we use? limite to 5V ?

I really appreciate any input on this. I am trying to avoid to buy a spare battery as the M11 battery gives some space by itself.  Thanks

Hi antonio,

i used to have a spare battery, but sold it when i wanted to rid of the M11 earlier, but since i got it back, i didnt buy a spare, hence i have been using powerbank as backup while on the go and sometimes power plugs 

I have been using and sharing my powerbank with one that charges my iphone too.. so about 9v 2a? Or may be more

No problems with three different power banks here. Don´t be afraid.

I think this has been asked here but, it's quicker to answer again than look up and post a link.  I, and no one I know, has had any issues charging the M11 with whatever you normally use.  USB-C to camera, M11 battery charger, charging bank..... whatever. All have, and continue to work as designed.

It's great that the M11 supports Power Delivery.

Scroll to the section labeled USB-C Port for Data and Power  and follow his advice for best cable to use for most efficient charging. I personally use the Nitecore NB 10,000 for but as others have said there are many great choices out there.

It works fine for me, both on the M11 and on the iPhone. It is smaller and lighter than comparable Anker power banks. I have it for a few weeks, so I can't report on long-term experience.
