Battery of my Tinysa Ultra expired & no new available ! Does "smart" power bank is compatible ?

 

Hello.
?
I have Tinysa Ultra (1st hardware version), & using it as panadaptor to my ICOM7100 ......
?
It's built-in lithium battery is expired & I searched in my country, Iraq, for new original replacement but I couldn't find !
?
I found original power bank of smart type that has "smart" charging controller & support multiple types of voltage output (5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V, 5 - 11V) with maximum power output of 85W. The "smart" power bank "automatically" determine needed voltage for the device .... I asked about it & one of my friends (YI6AT) asked me to never using it to power my Tinysa Ultra or my antenna analyzer because it can destroy such devices !
?
Due to my failure to find original replacement for battery of my TinySA Ultra & because the "smart" power bank is original & of high quality I prefer to ask about it's safety to be used with my TinySA Ultra. So, please help me about this.

Can I use this power bank to power my TinySA Ultra while I'm using it connected to my ICOM7100 ?? (we added IF output port for this station: YI1ZQ made such customization for his STN & for my STN)
?
Any help is appreciated !

Not all USB-C devices can accept the large range of voltages offers by some USB
chargers. I would suggest getting a charger which can ONLY output 5V - until
otherwise advised!

That should not be an issue with any high quality power bank. The bank always starts at 5V, and will not produce any other voltage unless the device negotiates for it. The tinySA will not do that so it will be safe.

Thank you for both David & Shirley for trying to assist me. But, replies are opposite & for that I'm still in controversial !
?
I think that the final cut judgment is by Eric, the designer of TinySA Ultra. My device is TinySA Ultra ZS-405. I will be very thankful for Erik if he will comment about this issue.

Many thanks Erik !

It is working in very excellent way ! I started to test it since you post your kind replay, but I did not write about it's success immediately preferring instead to test it continuously for enough time before writing about it's success !?
?
Now I can say with trust that this power bank really suitable for our sensitive equipment without risk to damage them !

Erik you really save me, because no any express logistic method accept to ship lithium ion batteries (as stand alone package) to my country even from AliExpress or Alibaba ......
