Note that QC2 and most QC3 power supplies will only be able to provide at most 12V, limiting the Pinecil to about 17W of thermal capability which is weak and slow. | ||
A USB-C PD type power supply / power bank that is 20V+/65W, allows the Pinecil to deliver the full 60W of heat to soldering tip. USB PD type power supplies with at least 20V+/65W+/3amp+ is highly recommended (higher V/W/A will work too as long as it's PD type). | |||
For certain QC power adapters, there is a limited time for QC negotiation, otherwise voltage will fall back to 5V.<br> | For certain QC power adapters, there is a limited time for QC negotiation, otherwise voltage will fall back to 5V.<br> | ||
Starting from firmware v2.16, there is a PD timeout setting (in 100ms steps) which allows QC negotiation start earlier.<br> | Starting from firmware v2.16, there is a PD timeout setting (in 100ms steps) which allows QC negotiation to start earlier.<br> | ||
This enables some QC adapters to work (like some of the Baseus QC chargers) but may result problems with PD negotiation on slower PD adapters. | This enables some QC adapters to work (like some of the Baseus QC chargers) but may result in problems with PD negotiation on slower PD adapters. | ||
