USB-C seems to have several standards and it seems like it will take some time for the market to standardize or change the names of proprietary tech.
Pinecil supports USB-PD and it also supports QC.
QC is not really a standard protocol but PD is, so the better to look for a PD-capable power supply, but that also means a Type-C to Type-C USB connection.
Also, most power supplies may not support 20V over QC interface, but some of them do and also some of the PD-capable power supplies may not support 20V output.
So look for a 20V-capable power supply which has PD support or at least QC-capable.
So I ordered another shell ready for my lithium cells as my first one failed(explained above) failed; it says it is an S6 and does does up to 12v-1.5a and the following: QC2, QC3, QC4, QC4+, PPS PD3, PD2, AFC, FCP, SCP, SFCP, PE2, PE1
It should power a pinecil direct from the USB-C but only powers it from the two old USB ports and only at 5v so no soldering only can access the UI on the Pinecil.
It even tries to charge from my Pinephone when plugged in to the USB-C, so I am suspecting I got another counterfeit....
