Is it safe to use a charger with more than 3A output?
#2
If you find a place advertising a 5volt @ 30amps USB C or barrel charger, avoid everything from that place.
That's a LOT of power, about 150watts and the Pinebook Pro would not be able to do anything beyond a certain point.
And even if our Pinebook Pros could use that much power, you would NEED active cooler, like a refridgerated laptop fan tray.

At present, we don't know if higher amperage power sources will help. Anyone trying, is taking a bit of risk, unless they can read the schematics, specifically the power section. While I can read schematics, my skills with power circuits is quite limited.

So a better question is, can we use 5volts @ 5amps?
