HomePod Mini fast charge protocol

Hi,

There are videos and leads talking about using a 18w/20w power bank to provide power for the HomePod mini, turning it to a portable device (within wifi range).


My power bank is 20w in the USB-c output and support QC fast charge (as per the seller). Seems it doesn't compatible with the HomePod mini. After connected, HomePod Mini is flashing orange status light.
