I have tested my 5 batteries finding out they are different from the residue percentage showed when they shut down (auto power off), there are around 20%,10%,8% etc. no matter they are old or new, I always bring anafi in sight when the battery is under 20%, and mark every battery recording their residue percentage for not falling off, wondering if it is possible to carry a power bank for prolonging the fly time for more photos and longer time-lapse footage.
 
No.
Reasons:
1. To heavy
2. Most USB-C power banks would be charged by the Anafi battery if you connect them with the USB-C port of the Anafi battery.
 
It will never work because the anafi discharges at a very high rate: here some very simple (rounded) math

- with 20 watt charger you can charge the battery in about 2 hours
- in 30 minutes you can discharge the anafi

so the discharge rate is about 80 watts/hour which is faster than it or any (light weight) power bank can deliver unfortunately, also the weight like Dirk_anafi pointed out would probably not help
