Hi all,

So my question is this. How is it possible that there's nog power bank with an 19V output of more then 4,5 amps? Why no 19V 8amps? I don't know alot about it but was just wondering. I wanted to find a power bank for my Razer Blade 14 inch (2013). On the adapter it says 19V 7,9amps, but there's simply no power bank with the same stats. Not even car jumpers with laptop outputs have higher current then 4amps or something. Does this mean there are no power banks for gaming laptops? Someone needs to invent this right away!

I've noticed the same thing. There are very few external batteries which provide greater than 90 Watts at 19 amps. My guess is the companies that make such devices figured the market wasn't large enough to provide external batteries for gaming or high power systems.

i went ahead and checked my power companion

it is 2.1 amps as you both described its 90watts

it does power my laptop though what happens is if the draw is greater than the device it draws from the internal battery. so it does game on the go.
