Samsung 45w 5A Charger with Pi5b?
September 29, 2023, 10:16
As the title says, is it possible?
Does it have 5V output? 5V/5A is more important like W.
that should work, the official docs say 5v 5a so this should be fine
So it’s max is 3V on this charger
yeah it might not be able to
3V = 3 Volt, that charger has a span from 3 vol to 21 volt
With all this it's not exactly easy to get, I'm sure I will at one point buy hey
I believe that the power supply is adequate for your need, I have experienced that Raspberry Pi foundation often over spec the power needs, see https://discord.com/channels/818384379197784084/982351314132566036/1157332559575924896
See answer in the other thread
yeah but I just don't wanna give the wrong answers before we can test it ourselves

And that relates to PDO. So the Raspberry Pi 5 will communicate with your PDO power adapter, as the Samsung 45W mentioned above is. So if the PDO say it cant deliver 5A it just run the Raspberry Pi 5 in "Low Power Mode".
PDO stands for Programmable Power Object. It's another technology that's often used in conjunction with PPS. PDO allows the charger to communicate with the device and negotiate the optimal voltage and current output based on the device's specific requirements.
already watched it, that was the research I did
although in my opinion I would spend the extra money to not have to use low power mode
yeah ig
ig?
ig means I guess, its really the only abreiviation I use now
I dislike abbreviations. I makes it hard to read!
I mean I did order the Pi official one, I just happend to have my hands on this charger also
But good video 😄
Jeff Gerling is enthusiastic, has a deep knowledge and is also entertaining, in my humble opinion.
