I have a 20000mAh/74Wh Capactity battery, Lightning input 5V/2A on my power bank
Do I need a converter or just an adaptor?
I would rather use the two chargers that I have now to charge our Iphone 8 and XsMax

Probably only an adapter BUT you must check the input requirement just to make sure is says "110-240" or something similar.

There is nothing about the 110/220. I even went back to the product description on Amazon. I use my regular Apple cord and charger. I just want to make sure it is not too high.

Somewhere on the wall plug there has to be a stamped input requirement. I think that is required by law.
PS May not have understood your question. Are using your Apple charging cord to charge the battery?

The power bank doesn’t have its own charger thus the 110/220 designation is irrelevant for it - and why it doesn’t have one. The power rating (110/220) is related to the charging brick you are using to charge the bank. If your using the normal Apple supplied charging bricks you are fine, just a plug adapter for the wall brick as it is a 110/220 device. The power bank is just a battery and charged the same way you charge an iPhone via a lightning cable.
Is this a new purchase? Just make sure your Apple power bricks are strong enough to charge it- the little 5w chargers that come with iPhones are very slow.... due to their low out put.
Test the system at home before you haul it to Europe.

I used my 5000m with no problem charging in both Spain and France this summer.
