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.

So I had a chance to test it yesterday and all I can say is that this is one of the best accessories I have purchased for the M6ii.
I paired with my small RavPower 10000 mAh powerbank, even while charging my phone using the other port it lasted forever.

For those considering the $60 Canon OEM battery or the AC adpater, this is a much better option. It is actually better than power through USB, since this is a more solid connection, leaving the USB-C port free for other uses.
Now is hard to justify getting the one who connects to an AC outlet given that the powerbank is portable and last long enough.
Highly Recommended !
They have been a Go-To accessory for any camera for the last 10 years for me Glad you have seen the light. The USB plug though is certainly handy because I can plug that into an AC adapter or a power bank.
I love things I can use in multiple ways.
Sure, the AC coupler have been around for years, but the ones powered by USB are relatively new making a big difference since it is portable, while giving long uninterrupted power supply.
The USB power coupler I just got can also be used connected directly to a PD AC adapter if the powerbank is depleted.
So all play nicely together because you can also charge the battery and the powerbank with the same PD USB AC adapter.
I believe the only sore point is third party E-LP17 batteries requiring a dedicated charger.
