FAQs
Will this stop the lightning/undervoltage icon?
Yes—using the official 5.1V/3A PSU greatly reduces undervoltage warnings on Pi 4/400 versus generic chargers.
Can I use this for Raspberry Pi 5?
No. Pi 5 requires the official 27W USB-C PSU (5V/5A profile) for full performance and higher USB current.
Does it support 220V in the Philippines?
Yes. Input is 100–240V AC, 50/60 Hz. You only need a compatible wall socket or a simple plug adapter.
Is the cable detachable?
No—the USB-C cable is captive (fixed) for best reliability and lower resistance.
Tip: Building a Pi 5 setup? Use the official 27W USB-C Power Supply to unlock 5V/5A power and higher USB peripheral current.
