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.

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.

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.

I decided to upgrade my usb-c power supply on my WIIM PRO and it works well and gives my WIIM a little more reinforces a little more headroom on the sound when streaming my music.

The CanaKit 45W USB power supply works great with my Raspberry Pi 5 and 4, with no issues! But, sigh, CanaKit wants additional money for a switch with an LED. Would have liked folding prongs, would have liked a power LED-- in the base model/config. A switch probably is asking for too much but this is not the least expensive power supply around for Raspberry Pi.

It is a very good usb-c with enough power to run a raspberry pi 5 16 gb at full. It does not get very hot either. It is really good for the price and it charges my phone very quickly.

My husband needed to replace his charger for the Raspberry Pi for his telescope. This charger cord has done the job, now he can use the telescope again.

Raspberry Pi5's require 5V/5A to run properly. You could have a 200 watt phone charger, or a large power-bank and odds are, neither-one will power the Raspberry Pi5, because they produce power at 5V/3A, which works with 99% of the gadgets you power on a day-to-day basis, but it does not work with the RPi5. If you want to use the newest Pi, you are have been constrained to buying the Raspberry Pi5 offical charger. This charger breaks the monopoly that Raspberry Pi created and allows you to power a RPi5 without issue. It is custom made for the Pi5, & it supplies 5V/5A. It's also a is a little bigger (more watts) than the proprietary charger, and thats good, because the RPi5 is very finicky and it will limit power output to usb ports very fast, at the slightest hint of an under-powered charger. This charger is a must buy if you want to work with the Pi5.
