Old laptop was a dell xps 15 9550. It uses a barrel for charging the laptop that came with it. I also bought 2 PW7015L barrel powerbanks a while back to use with it a while back and it worked fine. I had to then buy a new laptop, a dell xps 15 9520. This laptop uses a usb c for charging the laptop. So because of that, I couldn't use my 2 PW7015L barrel powerbanks with it because my laptop uses usb-c.
I did read if you buy the dell adapter below, you can then use the old 2 PW7015L barrel powerbanks with the xps 9520 laptop that uses usb-c. The issue was at the time, this barrel to usb adapter was not available on dell website. So because of that, I purchased a Dell PW7018LC powerbank for the xps 9520 since it uses usb-c. I can use this powerbank with the xps 9520.

My question is if I buy the dell barrel to usb c adapter above... I know I would be able to use my old 2 PW7015L barrel powerbanks with the xps 9520. The issue however is would I be able to charge the old PW7015L barrel powerbanks with my xps 9520 laptop charger or not? I read people buy this barrel to usb adapter because they want to continue using their old laptop barrel charger as oppose to the new usb c charger that they are using with their new laptop that uses usb-c for charging. So with this barrel to usb adapter, does that mean I don't need to use the old xps 9550 laptop barrel charger anymore?
I ask this because when I travel, I bring my xps 9520 and the usb-c laptop charger that comes with it. Then I also bring the PW7018LC usb c powerbank that I bought. So I only have 1 powerbank with me. So if I get this barrel to usb adapter from the link above, can I just bring that as an additional item along with my 2 old PW7015L powerbanks and that way, I would have 2 powerbanks with me? I would leave the usb c PW7018LC powerbank at home. Or do I still need to bring the old dell xps 9550 laptop barrel charger with me to charge the barrel PW7015L powerbanks? I know if I carry that and not the usb-c laptop charger that comes with my xps 9520, that would work since I read people do that but I don't want to bring that old barrel laptop charger that comes with the older laptop and want to use the usb-c laptop charger that came with the xps 9520.
