BEST ANSWER: HI. It depends on the port on your external battery. My external batteries have female usb a ports, so I would need a usb c male to usb a male, not female. I purchased the described item to connect to a male usb a cable. I suggest you look at your battery and see what it needs.

USB C to A cable protects a production computer
I bought this cable to use with USB A devices in a fixed AV installation. It worked well with flash drives and a USB connected video capture device. My application is protect a Mac Mini by preventing multiple insertion attempts by various people not familiar with the device.
The cable is sturdy and short enough to stay visible to users.

USB-C to USB Type A
This adapter was exactly like pictured. It works exactly like the description. I bought it so I could plug in my My Passport into my iPad 2018. Worked like a charm. I highly recommend buying what you can from Monoprice, especially if you live in an apartment with no place for delivery services to leave packages. Monoprice uses USPS for quite a few of their deliveries. USPS leaves packages in the package box attached to the apartment bank of mailboxes.

Works for connecting SSD to phone
Works fine for my application. Not sure how it will hold up, will see. I am using it to connect SSD to phone (Samsung S9) for reviewing car's camera footage. So I don't use it that often, rarely. Just there if I need it.
.worked first few times I used it without issue
.seems fairly sturdy
.length could be a bit longer

Excellent adapter; perfect size to carry with a laptop.
The extension cable works perfectly. It's about 5-6 in long, including the connectors, very good for laptop usage. I was able to connect and SSD and a HDD both to my HP X360 laptop, which has only one 3.0A connector. I did not test it for speed, but I did not see any appreciable delays. It was not a good test, however, because I had the HDD, not the SSD, on the side of the adaptor. But it performed as expected. I certainly recommend it.
