Did you manage to find more info about this item? I recently bought a G5 X and was looking for a way to not run out of battery power before I came across the CA-DC30 charger. While it says you can charge via USB cable connected to a wall socket, I am really looking info regarding charging it via a USB 8,000mAh battery pack that I current use for my mobile phone, and if supported, how long can I expect to wait for a drained battery to full charge.

It will depend on current of the power bank. Not sure about G5X charger, but G7X charger is .75A. Many power banks are .5A. So looking at about 80min with stock wall charger vs 2+ hours with .5A power bank.
