Haaa ! It was a shot in the dark really, i don't know much about electrical stuff, just happened to remember that incident. I forget the OP's point lol, so this means he just needs to use a higher amp power source?

I'm the OP haha. Don't think there's anything around it - seems like that the Fuji will only draw up to 14-15W (peak), so buying a more powerful charger is potinless. Thankfully I didn't spend more than I should have. I got a 20W-capable charger; I won't be needing any more

Gotcha, so if im understanding, the batteries themselves (or the USB C port) won't accept enough amps to passthrough all the power needed without using some of their charge at the same time? If so, this is how my G9 worked too, but as you say it did lengthen the time before dead battery by like 5x since the battery drain was so slow.

FWIW, there is one alternative if you are interested, you can buy a battery coupler (dummy battery), which will allow a full amp flow through, whatever the camera draws, as long as the power source can output it (3 amps is plenty). All you need is the battery coupler and a proper wire to go from the power source.

I can't say if a PD power bank knows to output the right voltage or not though, or your nano charger either, so you may need a voltage converter, i believe Fujis are somewhere around 8.4v camera input? Voltage converter wires aren't expensive, as low as $15 for cheaper ones.

Anyway for this use, you could run the camera for as long as the power bank has juice, or in theory, from a wall socket till the camera dies. Fuji has them like THIS on their own site. Just make sure voltage is line up first, too little and it won't power the camera, too much will fry the board.

Ha, not sure! Tbh, I won't go to that extent but for those who might need to, it's an option I guess they could try.
