AmishMoses Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 So I just got my Mark7 in yesterday. I was about to set it up, but I noticed that the recommended output was 2 amps. I mostly only have 40w super charge boxes lying around so I dug out my older boxes and this is what I've found any input/recommendations are highly accepted. Samsung Travel Adapter Input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, .15A Output: 5V, 1.0A  Ashley Audio and Accessory (idk lol) Input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, .3A MAX Output: 5V, 2.1A  One AC Adapter Input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, .3A Output: 5V, 2.1A  Will any of these safely power the pineapple or do I need to go buy something new? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_pyrro Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I can't guarantee any power source that I haven't seen, but I can't see that it would be any issue. The docs says 2A. When I'm not powering the Pineapple from a computer, I use a 3A power source and I have been doing that since I got the Mark VII (which was close to the initial release of the model which should be about 2 years ago). I've been powering the Pineapple with far less, but to be sure that it's not failing due to being underpowered, be on the safe side. If you want to be ultra safe, then stick to the recommended 2A.

Thanks Pyrro, I knew you would answer haha. Just a last quick question do you run USB C to C or USB A to C? The only C to C boxes I have are the super chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_pyrro Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I use both, but I would say 9 out of 10 I use Type A to USB-C either powering it from a PC or powering it from a power adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaKing Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 You need 5V and a bare minimum of .5A or so. Using an adapter rated for higher current is not a problem because devices only draw what they require. Using too much voltage, however, will burn circuit pathways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
