Anker 36W USB-C power brick
Han, can you share with us the exact model of Anker 36W power bank you have?? I don't see one labeled that way on their website.? Several of Anker's power banks do not support 12V PD (since it is not part of the current PD spec - I think it was in an older version of the spec). But several do support 12V PD, even the newer ones.? When one that doesn't support 12V PD sees a 12V PD trigger, they may show 11.x volts derived from another one of the protocols - but that voltage could change as current changes, since it is not in PD mode.?
?
I have one Anker powerbank that supports the 12V PD trigger, and one that does not.? They both support the 9V, 15V and 20V PD triggers, which are in the PD spec.? If you look at the detailed specs for each of their power banks on the website, it shows which trigger voltages they support in USB-C PD mode, and which voltage ranges in other modes.? If it doesn't explicitly say 12V in the PD mode spec, it is not supported.
