Pinebook Pro totally dead

Good to hear you were able to revive it in some way.
This kind of behaviour is not uncommon.
I also have it with an old Samsung 7.7 tablet and a Lenovo Yoga tablet.
Once their batteries get to a very low charge state, I can only revive them with the original charger.
When in normal state, I can use any charger I like (with the correct connector).
I guess that some batteries need some sort of kick start to come out of the low charge state.
And I wouldn't be surprised when the Pinebook Pro only accepts 5V on the USB-C port, although the USB-C standard does allow higher voltages (and currents).
