If @nigelhealy reports that he is successful, then the same should be true for PowerCores, but you’re probably gonna want the big boy PowerCore+ 26800 PD. That or wait and see what Anker has in store because currently it’s the only one with 30W output.
Lenovo x270 USB-C and Anker Powerport PD

I saw that someone used an adapter from the USB ports to charge a radar detector with the Eufy E1 lamp. Perhaps a adapter from USB to the type of charging port the laptop uses. As for the Powerbank, I know there is two types at that capacity. Singe and dual ports for charging
Your phone and tablet are USB-C, too, right? If so, then your only normal devices that still require micro USB are Anker’s.
From the talks of @AnkerOfficial, you’ll be saying the same thing in 2019 and likely a good part of 2020 about Anker.

Correct, I’d have a USB-C phone (OnePlus 6), a USB-C tablet (Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus), a USB-C laptop (Lenovo x270) and a Micro-USB Anker Slim+, Micro-USB Anker Life, Micro-USB Anker Powercore (probably the Powercore II 6700).
The technology supplier forcing me to carry old-tech cables is Anker.
So the most retarded part of my technology is Anker.

Wall charger, not portable battery. It’s the 60W USB-PD charger. Been in a sealed box for >6 months, some of us got it as a pleasant Xmas box of goodies, the Liberty+ and Roav.
I have a wide set of needs and a wide experience and I find those “big boy” batteries are not needed. Big devices have big batteries and last long enough on internal batteries. Small devices last days off small external batteries. I never need more than 10000mAh in anything I ever encounter. I could be obtuse like “just because I can” operate a phone off-grid for a week off a 26800… but why…
There is a firm need for PD chargers, no real need for PD portable chargers. For brief time near wall sockets, you need a high Wattage charger, but portable chargers are with you all the time, they just need to be cheap, not fast.

I believe the type c port only puts out 30watts and the other 4 USB ports use the other 30.
Ankers new 60W single type c port would give you a much faster charge on your laptop.

But if what @elmo41683 found is accurate about the maximum power input accepted being 45W, then it would only be about 50% faster during the non-throttled charge part so even less than that overall.
I too got the same thing for Christmas, and as @Jesse_Hernandez1 mentioned the USB c port only outputs 30watts. The other 30 watts is divided between the other 4 ports
Good point but it would still be better when charging during use. I not too familiar with that laptop but I know 30 watts isn’t enough to charge during use with some laptops. I think that charger is more geared towards phones/tablets.

Here’s the charger he’s talking about ICYMI (it’s finally back, remember they announced it like a year or two ago).
Personally, I would wait until Anker’s dual-port version comes out, which should allow for each port to use 30W (or 45W/15W or whatever) or one port to use all 60W.

Yeah but it sounds like he wants to pick up the charger now who knows when that dual Port will be released.
I think he really wants the PowerPort II PD 4.
Crossing my fingers that both of those - and others - (that were shown off at CES nearly 6 months ago) get released in the next 6 months. 
At the rate Anker has been releasing products in the last month or two I’m sure they will be released sooner than later.
I have the 30W PD charger with 4 ports sharing 30W. I read it off the label.
1st phase is accept the reduction in recharge from the official supplied 45W charger. If that experience is good then get the 45W version when it is shipping. Cable consolidation matters a little more than charger consolidation, when you put it all together in a bag, the cables really add most of the bulk.
My preference is no more than 60W total power to keep the charger down in size and it prioritizes the sharing across ports, so e.g. can do 45W PD and shares 15W over other ports, or as my laptop gets near to fully charged, it’s draw drops to say 30W then the other ports share 30W. I don’t want to see huge chargers.
We’ll be underwater by time Anker releases PD stuff, icecaps melted. I hope Anker moves further inland by then.

Lol, Hey we could get smacked by an asteroid in the next hour carpe diem
Along with the Powerline II 3.1 gen 2 cable should suit your needs well. The charger is pretty compact.
I wonder how the size of the 100W one coming out will compare to the one you already have.
Cable delivered. Doesn’t work. Same sympton as before, laptop flashes its power light and does not show itself recharging. Debugging… beginning in BIOS then drivers. I would tend to think in this case the Lenovo model does NOT support USB-PD recharging, because if it did it would come with a USB-PD charger. I might have an older model than the one who’s spec says it supports USB-PD recharging.

Oh, no!
Booted into BIOS, nothing there to enable, device settings, nothing there.
This could be…
This specific Anker Powerport does not interoperate to Lenovo’s requirements. So Anker and Lenovo does not get along.
Or, bad Powerport.
I don’t own any other products to debug. I won’t buy any more either!

I wouldn’t say its bad, or doesn’t support PD but rather than you do not have enough power to sufficiently charge it. The one you have only outputs 30W, so maybe that is below the threshold for it to charge properly
