Power Delivery USB-C to P4K Power?

Just curious if anyone knows of a solution to make a USB-C port on a power bank with Power Delivery provide power for the P4K through its power port?

I think you can only use the usb-c port to charge to LP-E6 battery inside the camera while the camera is off. Handy if you need to travel between locations you can simple plug the camera in and have it's battery charge.

Not what I'm talking about. I'm looking to go from a power bank with a power delivery capable usb-c to the power input on the P4K, not the usb-c on the P4K.

I looked into that to connect an Anker Powercore II to the 12v power port and I think the only method would be to get that power adapter set from BMD and either make a cable with USB-A on the other side or use a USB-A to barrel connector adapter.

If I'm not mistaken, a "classic" USB-A port will not supply enough power to run the P4K. I think it's something like 5 volt 2 amp max.

USB-C can deliver loads of power, but I think there would need to be something regulating how much.

Look at the new Mophie Powerstation USB-C 3XL that I posted earlier today. 45 watts and 26Ah. Hook it up with a custom USB-C to 2-pin cable to operate the camera with any attachments you’re likely to need. Or plug it into the camera’s USB-C connector to charge the battery.

This is what I am assuming too. I dont think that if I were to splice a usb-c together with the blackmagic cable that the power delivery would know what voltage to be sending across or if it would even send any power. Power delivery allows for auto adjustment, but I dont know if it would still work in this type of situation without something in the cable to communicate with the thing proving the power. I was hoping maybe there was an existing cable for some other device with compatible power that perhaps went from usb-c to a barrel plug of some sort that I could make a cable to connect to. Hopefully we'll see a ready to buy cable of this sort or a good diy video from someone knowledgable in this.

I thought the cable pack came with D-tap, 2.5 barrel, and open end for splicing - are you talking about making your own cable with the open end cable, or did I miss an announcement about a USB-C to Lemo cable that will be available?

Thank you!

USB-C > 2-pin 12V would be very nice as there are a lot of powerful bricks out there that could be used in a pinch, but I don't think BMD or anyone else has announced such a cable.

My bad! The BMD cables are D-tap/barrel/custom to 2-pin. I’ve had USB-C on my mind related to the external SSD. Sorry for the slip.

I amended my erroneous post to better convey the options with the Mophie USB-C battery pack.

Would it be possible to use the open wire to 2 Pin Lemo wire in the BMD pack and add a USB-C just to draw power from a brick? I don't know enough about the wattage/voltage of the carriers to know for certain.

USB-C power delivery is more complicated than connecting 2 wires.

A USB 3.1 type A cable can do 12v just fine. That's why things like this exist.

It's important to remember that USB-C, USB-PD, and USB 3.1 are all separate but related standards.

Just because a wire is USB on one side doesn't mean it has to use the USB-PD standard. If you're going from a USB battery to Weipu then there's no protocol, the battery just has to send 12v through the wire and the Weipu will accept it.
