How to charge on an airplane?

I have a 2019 blade 15 base, and am going on a trip in a few weeks. I'm planning to spend the flight working on some projects in premiere, audition, and after effects, but my battery only lasts a couple hours of heavy use. From what I understand, there is a wall outlet on the plane, but its limited to 75 watts while my power adapter is 200. My laptop also can't through usb-c, and I can't find a 75 watt power adapter for the laptop. Is there another way I can charge my laptop? Thanks!

First, find out what power outlet is available, the type of connection, etc. Restrictions on power is for safety of the entire aircraft, wiring systems distributing power to seat back or arm rests. When you determine which cable adapter is suitable, you can use aircraft power for charging. While power may be restricted, it should allow at least enough power to extend battery life. If not satisfied with this method, ask if a power bank is allowed in the passenger cabin. A large power bank will supplement your battery to extend electronics use. Be aware that virtually all rechargeable batteries are lithium ion types and hazardous. If you choose to buy a power bank, be sure the airline will allow it in the passenger cabin, It too can be recharged, albeit slowly, from aircraft power outlets

On a lot of airlines, you will either see a normal 120V socket or an older style EmPower connector that uses cigarette adapters for the most part like this. However, this is the legacy 75W version and is dated. You don't see it as often as you used tp. New planes/refreshed planes generally have a global power connector, which negates the need for the adapter you had to use on older planes.

If the plane uses legacy EmPower connections, you will need a 120V AC power inverter. In order to be safe, given the demands of laptops like these, you probably want one that can do ~300W or 250W if you can't find one that can do 300W readily. Higher is fine as well. You can usually find these in auto parts stores or Walmart, but look around: I have seen deals, and I have taken advantage. At one point, I got 2 Rigid units from an outlet tool store in the mall (read: NOT HF). Any decent inverter will work in your case with this laptop.

I deleted my comment, you might be right Nick. My answer below looks to be wrong. It looks like FAA approved power banks won't provide enough voltage / amps via an AC outlet to power this laptop.

All planes I've ever flown on can't power the laptop, including newish planes like the Dreamliner. Never worked for me flying Delta, KLM, United, American. United specs say 75w max output. This laptop requires 230w. Nick, are you saying an inverter would still work?

My guess is the only option is to upgrade to a newer laptop with USB-C charging, or buy a larger compatible internal battery to hold a longer charge.

@cacho81000 It may be a crapshoot but a airplane adapter that does the cigarette conversion is the most likely to work for power hungry machines like this. Otherwise you need to replace the laptop or the battery most likely.

Only way is with an airline approved power bank that has an outlet. If you're in the US, you'll want to look for power banks that have a 3-prong outlet and don't exceed the FAA / TSA limit of 100Wh/27,000mAh. Individual airlines may have their own further restrictions.

I have the same issue with my 2020 Razer Blade 15. The 230w power supply exceeds the 75w airplane outlets. And Razer didn't introduce USB-C charging until their late 2020 models. I see that the latest Razer Blade 18 in 2024 accepts 25-100w USB-C chargers.

EDIT: ^^^ I don't think a 100Wh/27,000mAh is enough to charge the laptop, it won't provide enough watts. Having not tried one myself yet, I'm not sure what the results will be plugging into it.
