Ideal power supply for the Mark V (and IV)

[edpr]

There is a lot of threads complaining about the Mark V (and Mark IV) not having enough juice.

What is the absolutely best power supply for the Mark V?

I do know it accepts 5-12V.

I have totally no clue about powering electronics.

If one had the choice, what would be the best?

I remember Watt = Voltage * Ampere

5V 2.5A, which results in 10W?

12V 1.5A which results in 18W?

Is there a maximum which should not be exceeded? And what is that maximum? Is it the Wattage?

Does the same apply for the Mark IV?

The Juice 1800 got 10.8-12.6V 1800mAh

I tried with a EasyAcc 12000 which got 5V 12000mAh

The Juice can handle a Alfa extra but the EasyAcc don't, the Pineapple is in a bootloop :(

So I guess, if you just using the Pineapple a 5V source is fine, unless it have 2Ah output

I've got some Lipo's lying around from my older Helicopter, maybe i make a batpack out of them ;)

I'll report when its done

5V 12,000mAh = 5V 12A = 60W

I assume you're talking about battery packs / power banks?

In this case the manufacturer probably isn't spec'ing the output but the capacity of the battery itself

So it doesn't mean that the output is 60W

What I was talking about was standard 220v PSU's.

The max Voltage you may supply is 12V.

If you choose to go as low as 5V, the minimum amperage you should supply is 2A.

You can supply as many amps as you want - the Pineapple will only draw as much as it currently needs.
