The power cable that comes with the laptop is totaled. I dont want to spend an ungodly amount of money on another.
I have a good size portable charger....I actually think it's this Anker one in this package.

Could I buy a USB to USB-C and run from that portable charger to my MacBook or would I need a setup like the one in the link? Or should I just buy that stupid replacement?
Can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to charge it but it's been awhile since I've read up on that stuff for Mac. I always typically did what Apple recommended in the past but if the specs are up to speed I don't see why not.
