How to charge my phone at full speed using powerbank?

Hi,

I have the Redmi Note 13 Pro which support charging at up to 67 W. I also have the Anker Laptop Powerbank (165W, 25000 mAh). However, when using the retractable cable of the powerbank, charging only reaches up to 15-20 W. I understand that this is because of the charging protocol of the phone. Is there any way to make it faster? Would it be possible to use a Xiaomi USB-C to USB-C cable to charge at full (or at least a noticeably higher) speed? I cannot test this by using the original USB-A to USB-C cable, as the powerbank does not support the same wattage on the USB-A port so I would have to buy a new one. Or is there any way to increase charging speed? A friend of mine also has a Xiaomi phone (Xiaomi + Number, not sure which one) and it charges at 67 W using the retractable cable, which I find quite weird as I thought the protocol would apply to all Xiaomi phones.

Thanks for any help!
