Beginners • Pi 5 power options?

Where does one find a compatible power supply for the Pi5 instead of the "Official" one?

When I try to power the Pi5 from one of the 5 dozen Wall Chargers I have, once I plug in a screen to the Pi I get an error notification saying it doesn't have enough power.. I even tried using my MacBook Pro's 140W power adapter (5.2V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/5A. 20.5V/5A, 28V/5A) but I get the same error. So when I try to do anything, when the touch screen is connected to the Pi via HDMI, the screen randomly powers off and on..

I checked amazon, and can not find a single Wall Charger that supplies 5v/5A exactly.. mostly just is 5v/3A ..

How would you do a portable power option, like from a battery bank, without having to use some sort of converter to boost the power, increasing the cost of of the project..

I need a Wall Charger that I can connect my own USB-C cable to.. as the "official" power supply cable is to short (as well as the 3rd party ones) ..
