Re: EOS R5 C powered via USB-C Power Bank

By the way, I got off on a tangent getting the cost per watt-hour of a lot of things starting with V-Mount batteries, Canon LP-E6 batteries in various forms, raw AA style rechargeable batteries from battery sites, batteries that can jump start cars, batteries used for recreational camping such as the Jackery line, phone power banks, etc.

Many things cite their mAh which you should assume is at 3.3V although it is a fairly vague and useless spec.  The spec you want is watt-hours.  You can get things for $0.38/watt-hour such as many phone power banks.  The "working" power bank I cited above comes in at $0.65/watt-hour.  Raw AA batteries tended to be around $1.00/watt-hour.  V-Mount batteries tended to be around $2.00/watt-hour and Canon LP-E6 type batteries tended to be around $3.50/watt-hour.
