You can learn a lot from the ultra light dudes.

I replaced all my travel electronics to be powerable from USB-C. This saved me from a lot cables and adapters.

Even re-soldered the cable of my electric shaver to use a USB-C PD adapter PCB. As long it's somehow close to the standardized voltages (5/9/12/18/etc.) there will be no problems.

The trick is to make sure to get a power bank that can do all kinds of voltage. 12V is especially useful for obvious reasons.

(Coincidentally, the Nitecore power bank briefly discussed in the article supports that.)
