I just wanted to report back that the converter/charger system and battery listed below work.

I tested them last night in silent shutter mode. The M6ii shot 30 second exposures continuously for over 9 hours in. It looks like the battery still has more than half a charge remaining, but I did not look at the charge level before I started. So, I'm not sure where the battery level was when I started. This combo is more than enough for an entire night of exposures for star trails which is the original problem I needed to solve.

Thanks to everyone for their helpful comments.

I got the same one you gave in the link, then came later searching the forums to see if someone has any issues with it.

Some people with compatibility problems are not aware that it is important to have a powerbank delivering at least 15watt.

eBay has them too but imported from China, so i ordered mine from Amazon arriving tomorrow for about the same price !

I think this is a better solution than the AC plug version since todays powerbanks can last you all day.

Hell and is even better than using batteries if the door can not be open easily.

Will report back if I run into issues..
