[Feedback] TS80 compatible 65W power supply #653

Closed nqtronix closed 3 years ago

nqtronix commented 4 years ago

I've finally found a USB power supply that works with the TS80 and the 12V mode flawlessly.

I'd recommed a silicone cable, but because there is no USB-C to USB-C variant available, you'll need a USB-C to USB-A adapter. On the power supply side, the cable must be oriented in the correct direction, otherwise it won't work.


I've measured the following heat-up times:

            |  9V  | 12V
------------|------|-----
20->310°C   | 23s  | 13s
130->310°C  | 13s  | 8s

Originally I wanted to post this into the TS80 wiki, but I didn't figure out how that works (sorry).

Edit: formatting

@nqtronix Good afternoon sir, you need to put it like this:

||9V|12V |-|-|- |20->310°C | 23s | 13s |130->310°C | 13s | 8s

to make it look like this:

9V 12V
20->310°C 23s 13s
130->310°C 13s 8s

regards

How about this one?

Also these ones do not require an adapter:

Most likely it does not work. SUPERVOOC does not work like QC3.0 which is needed for the TS80. The other two power supplys likely onle use USB-C PD for the high power port, QC3.0 is only supported by the USB TypeA ports, which hast a lower poer output.

This https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001238881915.html might work, it can output 30W to the USB TypeA and the iron needs about 32W to heat up. Obviously I've only tested the one linked in my initial post; if you decide to try any other charger please update us :)

This is really strange. I just tested the two chargers I have.

This one is supposed to be 30W - it says 43W but I have an older model from Spain which says 30W: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Foldable-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B01BBZ5LT2/

Anyway, it barely gets to 250C and then stops although it's rated for QC3.0 at 43.9W. Per the specs it should be sufficient but it's possible that the vendors are over quoting the wattage.

But I also have this one:

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charge-Charger-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B01BBZJ31Y/

And this one is rated QC3 at 39W and punches up the temperature relatively quickly - in about 30 seconds or so.

Apparently not all QC3.0 chargers are cut from the same cloth in that the quoted Watts are not always delivered as advertised. But $19 in the US for the one that works ain't bad.

Quick follow up on my previous comment. After a few uses the AUKEY charger started to act erratically and eventually one of the outputs just died.

So not one I recommend. I gave up and ordered the one that nqtronix recommended over at Aliexpress.
