Frequently asked questions

Does the power supply support devices requiring voltages different from 12V?
Check the datasheet to see if the power supply supports different voltages.

Can I use this power supply for devices requiring a current higher than 5A?
No, use a power supply with higher current if needed.

How long does the battery of the power supply last?
The AC power supply does not have a battery, it is an AC-DC converter.

Can I use this power supply for non-Arduino devices?
Yes, but check the voltage and current compatibility.
