I need to be able to bring it with me on the plane also.

But if I choose the wrong powerbank, can I damage the computer battery?

I think with your RAVPower suggestion it's possible to fully charge the MacBook Pro in only 3-4 hours. I read a review on Amazon, and the person there used RAVPower for his MacBook Pro, and said so.
I don't know about Lenovo, and if I need to buy that one you recommended only for Lenovo. Probably safest.
I was hoping I could spend a whole day outside (getting out of the house), and working outside in the sun by using these powerbanks. Because for the Lenovo, I can't change battery. What about MacBook Pro, is it possible to change battery?
But the battery weight is probably more than for the powerbank.

The first reviewer here says he could almost fully charge his MacBook Pro in only 3-4 hours with the RAVPower:

It says USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI and LAN for the Lenovo, but nothing about USB-c.

Thanks, it might work with one charger then if I have USB-C on the Lenovo. Will check that.

The PowerBank for Lenovo seems difficult to get hold of. If I can find somewhere to buy it, don't you think it would work for the MacBook Pro also?:

"Works amazingly on every device i have tried, including:macbook air ( 13 )macbook ( 12 )macbook pro ( 13 )surface book ( i5 version ) - some weirdness however charges at 12vso convenient, better design than other devices ( i know it sounds stupid but having a digital battery indicator really does make a massive difference ), and an absolutely life saver"
