   Something like this ought to work, though I've not tested it as I don't have   
   a Raspberry Pi 5 (though I do have a OnePlus 7 Pro):

   "Warp Charge" is a low-voltage (5V), high-current charging scheme OnePlus   
   has used on some of its phones.  6A (from a 30W charger) ought to be more   
   than enough for anything that Raspberry Pi is currently shipping.
