Using a power bank

Have a link to what power bank you have?  Most common ones are used for charging USB devices.  It is essentially an external battery to some degree.

I've used a power bank to power a Bluetooth speaker. As long as the device has a USB port for charging, it should work as a power source.

What model camera do you have?

Thanks @drummerboy.  I have a Panasonic Lumix G6, bought used a few years ago.  At $150 for cam and a bunch of extras it’s been quite a bargain.

I’ve been using it with 4 off brand batteries.  These seem consume their charge a bit fast9that’s why I have 4).  This has worked well enough, but I’d like to check my options.  I don’t shoot video, but may want to give it a go.

Am I right in assuming that this could work to power an old iPad, iPhone etc also?

Yeah, it should work for all those things, as long as they work when plugged in. I've come across a rechargeable device or two that don't want to work when they're recharging.
