MacBook Pro and power bank

[Macintosh1984]

Hi!

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) i5 2.7GHz and the battery lasts a very short time.

Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 2660
Cycle Count: 1216
Condition: Service Recommended
Wattage (W): 60

I don't plan on replacing the internal battery, I was thinking about a power bank.

From Mactracker I read:
System Battery: Built-in 74.9-watt-hour lithium-polymer (A1582)
Battery Capacity: 6559 mAh
Maximum Battery Cycles: 1000
Power Adapter: 60W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter

What model do you recommend? How many mAh should I choose to fully charge my Mac?

More importantly, since my MacBook Pro does not charge via USB-C, but via MagSafe 2, would the power bank work with a MagSafe 2 to USB-C cable or would the Mac not charge?

Yes, I saw. You say it from experience. You say it because the price of disassembly and reassembly is simple. Do you say it because the power bank would not work with my Mac or what is the reason?

I thought that I would buy a power bank, not open the Mac, keep that little internal battery, and with the power bank I would have had like an external battery with even greater capacity than an internal one and with the power bank I could also charge other Apple devices while traveling.

Where am I wrong?

I say it cuz I have done it myself on my 2015 MBA and that was easy. The person I just bought this 2015 MBP had already done it and pretty sure it was about the same cost as a decent power bank your talking about buying.. I guess it's all on your use case. If you feel you want a power bank to also charge other devices do that. I have a small usb a/c power bank for charging phones/airpods.. I just like not having to lug around a big power bank, but that's me..you do you.

Thank you @xboxbml, I will take into consideration what you tell me.

I would also appreciate from some other user what kind of solution there are with power bank.

So, I think, you’re best/better bet is a battery/power bank with an AC outlet, such as:
