Is it safe to use a charger with more than 3A output?
#3
I admit, I was guessing with the value of 30A. I realise now what I would really need is ability to provide the sum of all device's power needs with USB and PCIe included. I have some time available now, so I will try to find and calculate this information.

EDIT

The only data I was able to find was about voltage.

After searching for actual products I realised I will not be able to buy anything more powerful with the particular type of barrel. I proceeded then to look up USB chargers. I started by loading up a reputable producer's website and found a USB-C to USB-C charger rated for 60W.

My understanding is that the USB connectors are able to negotiate the voltage. What about the current? Will the Pinebook even be able to utilise the power available from such a charger?
