Hi,

I'm trying shooting star trails tonight with the M6ii from the back yard.

Any thoughts on whether I'd be better off using the using the Canon battery or this battery through USB?

Power Delivery Power Bank 26800mAh, PD Power Bank, Charmast 18W USB C Portable Charger Quick Charge 3.0 Battery Pack

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the M6 Ii only allowed charging over USB, not power over USB.

Unfortunately, I was overly optimistic and you seem to be correct. I had tested the concept before posting and thought I had power with the battery removed and battery door closed, but on retesting, I couldn't replicate it.
