Chargers and battery banks for the Librem 5

[Quarnero]

@soulstenance

This is very interesting. So perhaps not all PD technology is created equal. This seems an odd and unreliable choice for charging the Librem 5.

Yes, especially that nowadays most USB Type C power supplies incorporate or actually provide many charging protocols (so called full protocol), rather “very” able to output unnecessary proprietary charging protocols that Librem 5 charger (as sink) nor its battery might or want to recognize as proper charging source.

All PD chargers I happen to own are charging Librem 5 without any issues (Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, Dell XPS 13, some generic 45W charger, several USB-C docks…).

@dos, teardown of Nintendo Switch power supply that confirms your kind input: 拆解报告：国行版任天堂Switch原装39W USB PD快充充电器HAC-002（CHN） - 充电头网 - 我们只谈充电.

And, as not 100% sure about Dell XPS 13 power supply, let me guess that you are tested/proved this DELL 45W Type-C PD: DELL戴尔45W（LA45NM150 ）Type-C PD笔记本充电器拆解评测 - 充电头网 - 我们只谈充电.
