Charge Laptop With Portable Battery

Excellent portable powerful laptop with great battery life & a beautiful display!

Easy to setup and connect. Comfortable and portable! Love it! And the battery charge lasts a long time!

The Goal Zero Nomad 20 is a great portable solar panel. I haven't given it a lot of use yet, but already it works as intended. I am able to charge my phone off it when the sky is overcast. In direct sunlight, it charges faster. I was also able to charge a usb battery pack, that doubles as a car jump starter, while out camping where there was no electricity. This was handy, considering I drained my car battery running a waffle maker. Downsides? it doesn't come with a carrying strap, though it isn't hard to add one.

Running off a laptop means it helps to have an external that has its own power source so its not draining my laptop battery. I have a portable drive so I use this one when in the studio and both always contain the exact same files. I have used Western Digital for years and trust them as I have never had one fail.

Love this laptop. Its portable, fast, battery life is pretty good. Just have to switch it to IGPU only mode. Runs any game high settings on just balance mode. Been almost 2 weeks and no problems.

I use it with cameras, phones, iPads, and even my laptop. Holds its charge very well. Great battery. Perfect size.

I don't use any V-Mount gear so I can't speak to that, but the plethora of ports on this thing and the wide range of USB power implementation is fantastic. The screen tells you exactly what is going on with each port when in use, and what voltage devices are requesting/receiving. It handles just about every USB power standard I know of, and claims to have quite a few safety protections for peace of mind. I use this to power my entire location recording rig: Zoom F8n Pro, a standalone stereo mic pre, even a laptop, screen, or camera if I need to. I charge the battery itself over USB C with a standard 65W laptop charger, which takes remarkably little time. Actually living the consumer DC power unification originally promised by USB C years ago is pretty wild. Clients often forget to charge their iPad/laptop/tablet/phone before sessions, often using those devices to read sheet music, and having this battery available has saved multiple recording dates and made some very happy clients. I also bought the 50Wh version which is great for travelling as light as possible for shorter gigs. Same general features and ports.

I purchased this charger for my laptop because the 45W unit that came with the device was not keeping up with charging the battery and running the laptop. Also the connection did not seem to alway work. Prior to purchasing this unit I purchased a 3rd party 45W replacement but is was not keeping up with the power requirement to charge the battery and run the laptop, plus it took too long to just charge the battery. This unit does a great job of keeping up with the power requirements. I also like the longer length of the cord to reach a power source.

The ability to charge two batteries at the same time just plugging into my laptop is great. Makes it easy to be sure you have that battery ready to go when you need it.

I use this cable to charge the battery in my Olympus 8010 as well as download images to my laptop. This CB-USB8 cable is a heavier duty than the USB6 and is the recommended cable for the 8010. The connector on this cable is uncommon to most Olympus cameras and is used only on the 8010 socket.
