Can I charge a 19V laptop from multiple USB ports?

My laptop’s charger is rated at 19V 2.1A. I was wondering if it would be possible to build an adapter which would allow me to charge it from a power bank, even if just slowly or via multiple USB ports.

I know you can buy adapters which utilise USB power delivery, but most outlets and powerbanks don’t have PD yet.

I totally forgot about that :P That would be great indeed.

The PD trigger board may be much more involved/expensive though and I have not seen any budget battery banks supporting it. One can dream.

I expect consuming devices to adapt themselves to the three or four commonly provided voltages for the foreseeable future.
