Can I use MacBook charger for Raspberry Pi?
Revised Answer: It will not damage your RPi, but it won’t work unless you use a NON e-marked USB-C cable (details follow). The Macbook Pro 87W USB-C Power Adapter has enough power to run the RPi 4B. The specifications printed on the adapter state that its 5.2 volt output is rated at 2.4 Amps.
What kind of Charger do I need for Raspberry Pi 4?
So is the only option hoping to find some slim enough 5V/3A/15W USB-C charger for each RPi4 and plugging those into extension cords? The official Power Requirements of the Pi 4B is 5v, 3.0A – I.e. a total of 15W maximum power requirement from each of the Pis, so a 60W USB power supply, or larger, would be ideal.
How much power does a Raspberry Pi 4B need?
The official Power Requirements of the Pi 4B is 5v, 3.0A – I.e. a total of 15W maximum power requirement from each of the Pis, so a 60W USB power supply, or larger, would be ideal. This is a maximum, as they acknowledge with:
What kind of power supply do I need for Raspberry Pi 3?
I’d stick to five wall warts on a power strip. I am using a Photive 50W power supply with 6 USB ports to power 3 Raspberry Pi: one B+, one 2 and one 3. This is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Photive-Desktop-Charger-Intelligent-Technology/dp/B00LMIA9L4/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1463030603&sr=8-16&keywords=50w+usb
Is the Raspberry Pi 4 compatible with USB?
In layman’s terms, the Pi 4 isn’t USB-C compliant. And, as of right now, its noncompliance has only caused one problem: incompatibility with certain USB-C chargers/cables. E-marked cables are “smart” USB-C cables usually packaged with expensive devices, like the MacBook Pro.
