connecting APPLE MACBOOK PRO (14 inch 2021) Chip APPLE M1Pro using YETI 500X solar battery

I want to connect my APPLE MACBOOK PRO (14 inch 2021) Chip APPLE M1Pro to a YETI 500X solar battery. Yeti wants to know how many AMPS / WATTS the MacBook uses and I can't find that information. Does anyone know and have any experience power a MacBook pro to a solar battery? Thanking you in advance! Yeti says this battery can power the MacBook pro without problems...

It's a bit more complicated than h-just the charging power. MacBook Pro models like that one require the use of USB Power Delivery Protocol. Your power adapter must be able to negotiate Voltages and currents, and talk over the USB-2 leads in the charge cable.

Just asserting a charging voltage against the power conductors does NOTHING.
