Comment on NASA powers down science instrument to conserve Voyager 2 power supply

They should send a powerbank up to the Voyager.

Yeah, that is a joke but made me wonder two things:

  1. Say you have the abillity to connect a powerbank to the Voyager, how long would a typical powerbank with 3x 16850 cells be able to power the probe?
  2. Would it be possible to build a proble like Voyager 2, which has a docking port and could accept a space craft that could transfer power to the Voyager 2?
