General discussion • Re: Once more... Pi 5 & Powerbank

Hi,

I saw there are already a couple of Threads touching this topic, but no real solution.

To understand why there seem to be no Powerbanks to power a Pi 5 I try to understand what standard the Pi 5 exactly follows regarding power supply.

Non of the USB-C related power standards (Gen2, QC, PD, ...) really offers 5A at 5V.
I don't have a link handy for you but a month or two ago the engineers from RasPi pointed out the part of USB PD that does specify a 5V@5A output on the forum.

IIRC, It is a portion of the standard that almost no other manufacturer uses because they use the higher voltage USB PD options to accommodate longer wire length and/or smaller diameter.
Thank you very much, your comment was very helpful.
With that in mind I was more lucky to find related threads in the forum.
I think the post you had in mind was this:

(I leave that here in case someone else is looking for it.)
