During the weekend I risked a purchase of a 4A power supply at a local electrical shop (this was the biggest 5V available) and had the original barrel jack adapted to it. So far, I was not able to drain the battery anymore. I am not able to test it against a 'completely full load', with accessories attached, but the upgrade was definitely worthwhile.

BTW, I also discovered that the USB-C charger is limited to 3A anyway, so it wouldn't work for this case.
