Pinecil v2 power cycles at higher voltages? - clemon79 - 03-14-2023
Just got a v2, and love it. When I run it off of a 20w USB power supply at 9v (over USB-C) or 12v (with USB-C to DC), it runs fine. However, I have two USB power supplies that it can negotiate 20v with (with the DC cable, natch). One of them is a 100w, so it negotiates 20v/5a, and works fine. The other one is a 65w, so it negotiates 20v/3.25a, and once I hit the + to start it warming up, it blinks just for a second, power cycles, and dumps me back to the main menu.
Seeing as it runs fine negotiating 9v/2a on a 20w channel, and 20w/5a on a 100w channel, I'm not sure why it's choking on 20v/3.25a. This is on the latest stable IronOS firmware, v2.20, with no changes to default settings other than fast scrolling and blinking temp during cooldown. Any ideas?

Is your another unstable 20V PD charger Baseus brand name? If yes, try latest firmware in Pinecil. If doesnt help, use another PD charger.
I had similar issue, you can check my neighbored topic here.

It wasn't a Baseus, but many thanks, a firmware update fixed the issue, and it's working like a champ on 65w chargers now.
