- Do I need this for a Raspberry Pi 5?
- It is the recommended supply for the Pi 5 because it provides the full 5A the board can use. A weaker charger works for basic use but may throttle USB power or trigger warnings under load.
- Will it charge my phone or laptop?
- It supports USB Power Delivery up to 9V at 3A, so it can fast-charge many phones and small devices. It is not powerful enough for most laptops.
- Is the cable detachable?
- No. The 1.2 m USB-C cable is fixed to the brick, so plan your placement around that length.
- Does it work in other countries?
- The input accepts 100-240 V, but the plug type is fixed. You need a plug adapter for outlets that do not match.
- Can I use it with older Raspberry Pi models?
- Yes, it will power earlier USB-C Pi boards, though they do not draw the full current. Older micro-USB models need a different supply.
