    Have you charged the Mophie first?

    Assuming you got this model from T-Mobile:

    https://www.t-mobile.com/accessory/mophie-universal-battery-powerstation-10k

     

    Appears it is capable of 18W, and being USB-C, should be capable of up to 20V.

     

    The Arcadyan requires 15V at 3A, which is 45W.  So it appears the Mophie cannot properly supply power to the Arcadyan gateway.

     

    Hopefully those with more technical knowledge can chip in, but it appears the Mophie was supplied as a gift to charge phones.
