Running M1 without battery requires power source is relatively stable. 5V/2.1A power adaptor should be enough to provide the power to the device when no battery used.

So using more powerful PD PA may not help under this case.

Thanks for additional info John and good to know. Should have mentioned the Anker charger being used is 2.4 amps. I also like the fact that it provides additional power protection against surges and has folding socket plug for easy travel. My M1 has been rock solid for past three years.
