Charging 2013 (MagSafe 2) Macbook pro with a USB C battery bank

I have just bought a USB C battery bank (Cygnett ChargeUp pro 20000mah PD) and am looking to be able to charge my 2013 MacBook Pro with it. I've had a look but could not find a USB C to male MagSafe 2 cable. Does anyone know where to find such a cable?

Hi OpticalSanity:

I don't think you will find a USB-C to MagSafe 2 cable.

HyperJuicer released a battery bank with MagSafe cable at some point, and was sued by Apple. So they changed the MagSafe cable to a kit to allow you to use an old magsafe power supply to make your own cables. https://www.hypershop.com/products/hyperjuice-external-battery-pack-for-macbook

Here is a video of how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUDeKmetMnY

Hope this gives you some ideas.
