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.

I have two battery packs: one outputs 2.4A and 1.5A while another outputs at 2.1A.

What confuses me is the cable that Canon recommends to work with this charger (or not) IFC-600PCU http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71oVA5tEeHL._SL1500_.jpg, the micro-USB connector end seems to fit the camera interface (for image/video transfers) rather than for the purpose of charging. I like how the charger end uses bigger Type A plug (more robust than Type C Micro-USB).
