    Build a 18650 battery bank and plug in a pinecil or ts100. A solder iron with a 18650 would be heavy and uncomfortable for soldering.

      I would accept a bit of an awkward balance for being self-contained.

        You’d want more than one cell. You’d be pulling 23amps from a 4.2v 18650 to give the same 100w at 20v power as you get from a top usbpd power supply.

        There are 18650s that do 30 amps for short bursts, but it would get as hot as the iron and be empty in 5 min
