Maschine+ with USB power bank

Hello,
Newbie question: can I run my Maschine+ with a standard power bank using one of the USB ports of the Maschine+?
Thank you!

No, they are USB outputs not power supply inputs. Maschine+ requires 15vDC @ 2 Amps (about 40 watts)
I believe some folk have been able to use 12v to power it which would make it possible to use a 12v battery. One such power pack I have for powering devices such as sound recorders and cameras is this one:

However when I purchased this in 2019 it was only $60aud and I have 2 of these.

Please do not advice to underpower the Maschine+. Users who do not power their M+ properly are experiencing random crashes and odd behaviour. It needs 15V @ 2.66 A. This can be achieved with a PD (USB Power Delivery) trigger cable and a power bank with sufficient power rating to offer PD 2.0 on a USB-C port.
