Re: Low voltage solution


 

Sorry, don't have the details. I bought a 10 pack of them 4 or 5 years
ago. I'm powering some weather radios, a couple Pi-Zeros, and a few
other devices that take random voltage inputs. I think I have one Pi3
using them. Don't have any Pi4 or Pi5 devices. Still doesn't make sense
to me why they insist on continuing to power them via USB sockets.
Utilizing a 12V input is much more robust and almost as universal, much
more versatile, and the hardware and engineering differences are trivial.

Michael, which Buck Converters did you purchase? Will they handle 3
and/or 5 a? I have purchased B converters from Amazon but they provide
either 2 or 3 amps. The RPI 5 likes 5A. RPI 4 likes 3A.
