Looking in the Deck's direction with deep anxiety in the wallet...

I was reeeaaally tempted to get it last time it was discounted but the rational skeptic in me knows it'd be just a forgotten toy on the side within a month since I'm used to gaming on my (pretty good) desktop. Even if you travel a lot it only has a few hours of battery life so you can't take it too far from civilization anyway

Would an external battery pack be able to keep it going? I have a battery pack that claims it can put out up to 18W. It's really meant for phones, but wonder if it can keep a Steam Deck going, too?

A quick search gave me this discussion on steam forums about it https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/0/5057002258661709742/

Seems like 40 or 60W is the bare minimum you need to provide in order for deck to stop draining its own battery

any recommendations for a good external battery? :: Steam Deck General Discussions

Like if I'm on a long plane without an outlet. Can I just buy one of those small mobile phone battery bricks and plug it in, or it needs to be of certain specs for this thing you think?
