CanaKit 45W USB-C Power Supply with PD for Raspberry Pi 5 (27W @ 5A)

Working perfectly. This is truly the best Pi 5 power supply that I have ever used.

Update 2: All issues resolved without any fault of the power supply. So it goes up to 5 stars. It works perfectly (even when my other gear doesn’t). :) Update: Well I think there might have been a pi configuration error contributing to the issue I was having. I’m not convinced it is the power supply at this point, so even though I’m hamstrung since getting it, I think this power supply is working exactly as intended. Original: I finally got a dedicated power supply so I could run my Pi5 (16GB) without using power from my MBPs UBC output. But this supply doesn’t seem to meeting the requirements of the Pi. There is some LED blinking on the Pi, but I can’t get the pi to actually boot unless I plug it back in to my laptop. Anyone else having a similar issue? I’ll try to update it I figure it out, but my best guess is that it isn’t negotiating thew handshake, and is operating at an alternative power profile (9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, or 20V/2.25A) instead of the intended 5.1V/5A the pi needs. For now, it is hard to give any star for a product that isn’t able to do anything for me. I’ve had good experiences with CanaKit in the past, so it’s disappointing to have this failure.

This powers my Raspberry Pi 5 really well. I don’t get not enough power warning.

The CanaKit 45W USB-C Power Supply with PD has proven to be an essential accessory for my Raspberry Pi 5 setup. As someone who frequently works on Raspberry Pi projects, having a power supply that delivers consistent and adequate power is crucial, and this one does not disappoint. The 27W output at 5A ensures that my Raspberry Pi runs smoothly, even when I have multiple peripherals connected. The USB-C connector is sturdy and fits snugly, providing a reliable connection without any power drops or interruptions. It’s compact and doesn’t take up much space on my desk, which is always a bonus. One small suggestion would be a slightly longer cable for more flexibility in positioning, but overall, it meets my needs perfectly. Here’s a quick dad joke for a smile: Why did the Raspberry Pi get in trouble? Because it couldn’t resist a good power supply! Overall, the CanaKit 45W USB-C Power Supply is a must-have for any Raspberry Pi 5 user. It offers the power and reliability needed to keep your projects running efficiently, making it an excellent investment for any tech enthusiast.

Raspberry Pis pull a LOT of power over USB, and they will teach just how dodgy most USB power supplies are. Your phone's charger will not keep up nor will most charging hubs. But these CanaKits always work. Don't waste your time and money on cheaper ones that claim they'll work with Pis. Most of them won't.
