Any standard USB power bank should work as the adapter is taking the standard 5V 2A USB output and stepping it up to match the output of the LP-E17.

Thanks for taking a look. Part ordered, but delayed shipping for about 3 weeks.

Darn pandemic!  Stuff that usually gets to my house in two days doesn’t even ship for 3 weeks now!!!  I’ve had a NYT crossword puzzle book on order for a month now and by the time it gets here I’ll prob be back at work, LOL!  

As far as power banks go, you’re best off getting one that will supply more than 2 amps @ 5v, because you’re going to want that 2 amps on the Output side of that adapter (@7.2v +).

I recall reading about a poster who wrote that his output current from the adapter was too low to power the M6ii, so he had to buy a higher rated power bank.  Just FYI.
