Can the new 2016 MacBook Pro be charged with external batteries?

Is it possible to charge the new Macbook Pro 2016 from external batteries, as well as non-original chargers? For example, I have a powerbank from Xiaomi, as well as charging for Xiaomi Redmi Note, if you can charge a power bank sent, then you can also charge it?

Most likely it is impossible, but if it is possible, then it is undesirable, and it does not make sense.
If you mean a standard power bank with output characteristics of 5 Volts, 2 Amps. We get a power of 10 W / h. Native charging for 15 "firmware, there is a block power of 87 W / h. And it is smart, depending on which device is connected to it, it produces either a voltage of 5 volts, or if we connect a macbook, it will raise it to 15-18 volts at current 4-5 amperes.There are no circuits on them yet, it is quite possible that there is a step-up converter and it supports charging from 5 volts (then it will increase them) But in any case, 10W is almost 9 times less than 87W, respectively, the battery will be charged many times slower.Such slow charging is not very good for lithium-ion batteries.And even the most powerful power bank 20000mA / h is not enough for one charge (20A / hX3.6B = 72W / h minus conversion losses,
