I also Like DIY but at this time and Age, getting a 30W type C USB-PD charger, 30W Type C USB-PD powerbank, and a type C 12V activator/adapter woukd be My way to do it. Easier to replace by buying an over-the-counter replacement. That way I can also instruct someone else to buy and replace stuff Without me. It gets tiring to fix things yourself because people dont Even recognize basic electronics. And I can use a 15V type c adapter or 5V for other Network equipment Like an Asus router or a low-power tplink switch.
Another way would be a fast enough charger, to a powerbank that can do passthru, and a dual-head 5-to-12V2A adapter.
But still pretty cool. I remember Building a powerbank Full of AAs and a Couple of LM7805 to give 5V2A to My PSP. Good times.
Yes little bit of Diy stuff is good and exciting.
Both options are nice. Some of us out gluttons for punishment 🤷🏻♂️
