£20 GaN Charger - works straight out of the box. - OscarSass - 01-26-2022
Hi,
Just received my Pinecil and 1.5m silicone cable.
Bought this GaN charger on Amazon for £20 (1 port version), plugged it in and it worked no problem:

No sure if the Pinecil voltage needs calibrating, or whether the charger is outputting at just under 20v - will do some testing and update.
Might be worth adding to the list of compatible PD chargers (I recall seeing a list on Wiki I think?).

feel free to add that to the list in the wiki, if there is one. your forum login doubles as your login for the wiki.

Super - thanks.
Turns out I had to calibrate the Pinecil (it was reading circa 19.5v). Voltage reading (taken from the barrel connector whilst USB-C connected to the GaN charger) is bang on 20v, so calibrated the Pinecil to match.
Getting close to 50w for such a small charger is great, the whole package becomes very portable. ?
