Instead of the sane approach of specifying 5, 9, 12, 15, and/or 20 volts and the amperages, products insist on listing every model of device in existence instead.
Most will do 12V, but I always want to make sure it’ll power my laptop (20V) as well.
A big thank you to reviewers who post images of the actual products where it shows the relevant info in one short line on the labels:
e.g. PD Output: 5V=3A, 9V=3A, 12V=3A, 15V=3A, 20V=3A
Why is ‘voltage’ fine then?
Because potential sounds weird?
It only sounds weird because you’re used to ‘voltage’.
And wattage only sounds weird because you’re used to power.
Tension.
Tension makes me think of how one “can’t let go” if high-voltage AC is flowing through their arms. 😬
…and warnings in multiple languages. Haute tension!
