Battery/ charger information question

[Chrisssj2]

First of all im running zelda TOTK with 1500 CPU, 1150 GPU, 2530 RAM 4ifir.

This is a brand new cable i bought today. Wave, 60 W, USB C to USB C cable.
Connected through my Through my homemade powerbank which supplies 12V at 1.7A which is constantly jumping up down from 11.9 to 12.4V and 1.0 A to 1.6 A from (it has its own display for showing you in/output and volt/ampere.)

This is original switch charger:

This is without anything connected to it:

My question is, with the "wave usb to usb c cable from powerbank" it says current limit +1670 mA. with the official charger it says "current limit +1200ma" How do i interpreter this info? The current flow seems similiar +1000 mA.. and it is fluctuating from like maybe 900 to 1200 mA for example for both all over. But i never see +1600 mA on the wave usb c cable. eventhough it says current limit +1670mA?

You can increase charging limit from 2000 mA to 3000 in this homebrew but I think it doesnt do anything for me at this point.?!

From the switch homebrew OSD info how much mA is the powerbank+wave C cable giving the switch in total? when compared to the official charger?

Erista? Mariko? Oled or Lite?..

An official Switch charger is 15 V @ 2.6 A. So ideally a powerful powerbank must meet these power requirements I guess for a stable powerfeed, especially with high O/C.

Ideally you want a steady voltage, unless you want to brick that unit.

Mariko oled.

Keep in mind the OEM Nintendo charger does not fully comply to USB C PD specs.
So when I'm running a heavy overclock on my OLED I always use the original power adapter whether I'm playing in handheld or docked mode.
