~~== Power Supply Compatibility ==~~

The Pinecil can either work with a 12-21V battery or power supply via the 5525 (5.5mm outer diameter, 2.5mm post) centre-positive jack, or with any USB power supply that supports the QC2, QC3 or USB-PD (Power Delivery) specification. QC2 and most QC3 power supplies will only be able to provide a maximum of 12V, limiting the Pinecil to about 17W of thermal capability. A suitable USB-PD power supply / power bank will be able to provide 20V, allowing the Pinecil to deliver the full 60W of heat to soldering tip.

~~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>~~

~~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.~~

~~For certain adapters, a PD timeout value of 15 is needed while most of PD adapters are also work using this value.~~
