How many MAh is the 55 watt hour battery? (alien.top)

Hi guys, I’m looking to get an AMD framework, and I was just wondering if anyone knew the mAh of the 55-watt-hour battery? The reason I ask is because I’m looking at buying a portable charger, specifically this one: [https://www.baseus.com/products/adaman-power-bank-65w-20000mah?variant=39912115798093], and I was curious how much it’ll charge the framework when the framework is at rest or if it will sustain it while I’m doing light to moderate loads. The reason I ask is because I’m kinda new to this and looking to use the power bank as a charger since I can’t plug the laptop in myself when I’m out and about. (I’m in a wheelchair and can never reach wall outlets.) Thanks!

mAh means nothing even in phones... it doesn't tell you how long it could run, nor now many times it could charge a given device. It's a d*ck-measuring contest between arbitrary numbers, that's like the GHz race but for batteries.

God, I very deeply wish we could get the industry to stop using mAh as a measure printed anywhere but the lowest, trivial details of a spec sheet - which is all it really is. Watt-hours (Wh) are the real measurement, where you can understand and compare real, functional data.
