I have a small 10,000mAh power bank too, but given some countries restrictions, I refuse to travel with anything bigger. Some picky countries will take away (confiscate) anything bigger than 10k mAh. I already lost a 13,000mAh and another 15,000mAh on this mistake, on separate trips. This power bank does provide some additional juice, but gets killed pretty fast.
Comment on Best deck games for a flight? (as in...possibly running on batteries)

You can call me a shill,
But I just get an Anker Prime 27,650mAh battery bank because it supports 140w PD.
Lasts my wife and myself a 4 hours flight with maybe 30% left over.
I got it because it can charge my laptop as well.
Steam deck is 40Whr and the battery is nearly 100Whr.
So you’ll get 2.5 times longer playing time with it.

Woah, which countries?
I’ve traveled quite a lot and no one has even bothered me about my size.

China I’m sure they did it. I think the second time it was… Vietnam maybe?

Second this, especially if you do want to play bigger games like Cyberpunk. Also tends to come in handy for road trips, or extended stays outside which I love.

I’ve got a similar battery bank. It’ll turn 4 hours of capability into 12, with no issues.
Mine is a veektomx MAX65W. 20,000mah.
Just be aware of capacities. The limit is either 100Wh or 160Wh depending on the airline. That works out at 27,000mah or 43,250mah respectively. Most power banks are below this, but not all.

Limitations are the spice of life

Same here. Even just as a backup in case of unexpected travel hiccups, a large (airline approved) PD-capable battery back is very handy to have. I never worry about finding an outlet in an aircraft or airport, and I’ve spent my fair share of time stranded in transit.
