0xicl33n Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I seem to have misplaced my Y cable.. Ive already dug through the forum and found a link to get a replacement. But the question is, do i really have to use the y cable? If i can find a 5v A2 wall adapter, that should be good enough, right? All of the ones i have are just..bad. Id like to setup my nano running out of the wall for some passive information gathering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall adapters works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Tetra you can use a higher amp 5v power supply and the nano will only draw what it needs so you dont have to worry about over powering. I use a 5v2.1 battery for mobile and a 5v2.4a wall adapter when on the PC. I have not noticed any difference in temps of the Nano using a higher amp. I also have a 5v3.4a battery that I use every once and a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there is either a mistake somewhere or typo idk. I know @Sebkinne has said that the nano at max load consumes up to 10w of power.

But my original 4000mah pineapple juice seems to only give 1.4-1.5A using my USB load tester. But its getting old now so i need to start looking at one of those Anker 5000mah slim batts.
