I have tried to use my Pinecil using a 18W wall charger which supports voltages up to 12V.
I felt it is usable (not bad) for normal soldering but it may run out of power.
Also I ran it using a power bank with lower power (maybe around 22W) outside and it was still much better than a usual gas soldering iron simply because it is controlled very well. I think it was also driven at 12V but it was a surprise for me compared to the usability of a gas soldering iron.
However, I have bought a Baseus 65W power bank which can supply Pinecil at 20V to reach its maximal power, it works perfectly.
Anyway, really they are expensive, although a few days ago I could buy another 65W power bank for around 50 USD which is a really good price for it.
