Is it safe to use a charger with more than 3A output?
#4
1) Arwen is certainly correct in warning about using a extremely over-sized charger/power supply.

Perhaps Pine or a person more knowlegable of these products could give us some guide lines on
what the maximum input is permisable. . . ?

2)  The supplied charger Does Indeed seem a little Dinky.

..*..  I have seen a few posts discribing the supplied charger as
not able to keep up, and the battery discharging even while the PBP is plugged in while 'in use'.

Myself I would think, in "my opinion" something such as a 25 watt Smart Phone fast charger would be safe,
at least until we see some official posted data.

Warning:  That is my opinion,  Not a Pine authorized statement...
                  But especially if you are running an external drive or something extra, it may prove helpful.
