Did anybody test any any USB/12V+ battery pack in KX3 or KX2?

I have a USB / 12V/8.3Ah model:

Seems to be 3S3 with 11.8V peak, not bad but a  bit too little for 10W
operation.

There are types with adjustable voltage like:

but if voltages are converted by switching then it can be quite noisy.

Traditionally I use 4S2 devices from batteryspace.com but they are getting
pricey and don't double as USB chargers.
