Hello,
I have a MacBook Air 2018. I recently bought a Laptop powerbank with 40.000 mAh (148 Wh)(Mobisun) for mobile work. The powerbank has a USB Type-C output of 5V/9V/12V (20V). On my laptop I see that the powerbank is connected but on the display there is mentioned : 'Battery is not charging'.
Do you know how it's possible that the Mac Book Air is not charged ?
Many thanks in advance
Peter
What version of macOS is it running ? If using Big Sur read here If battery charging is paused or on hold on your Mac
One of the first things I would do. Go the Manufactures Site and verify if there is any mention of Compatibility with this specific MBA 2018. Then, compare the Powerbank Outputs versus MBA 2018 Specs
Hello Mr. Phillips,
Thanks for your quick answer. Indeed I have Big Sur installed on my Mac Book Air.
Is it possible that my powerbank doesn't give enough power to my MacBook Air ? Or, what should be the output power needed to charge the laptop (compatible with the normal charger ?).
As the powerbank was quite expensive it should surprise me that the powerbank hasn't enough power.
