Pi4 Power Requirements

Tue Jun 25, 2019 2:41 pm

The only way to buy (pre-order for a week's time) a Pi4 here in Canada was within a kit.

The kit includes a 2.5A micro USB power supply, plus adaptor to USB C.

Is this up to the task? Or should I buy something better on Amazon?

Thanks

Like several earlier boards, the fully powered Pi4B provides 1.2A to the USB ports. To do that would take a 3A supply. So with a 2.5A supply, as long as you don't try to draw more than 700mA on the USB ports, you should be good.
