Discussion around the Framework mission of building products that last longer by making them upgradeable, customizable, and repairable. Consumer electronics can be better for you and for the environment.
Recently replaced my portable charge and this one has a screen to see the power transfer, is 96w in spec for the FW13 12th gen i7-1280p? I don’t really care that it’s pulling that much as long as it’s not abnormal for it to do so. I used to have a 65w charger so that’s all it got max, this one I guess goes up to 140w for power delivery. Should I change a setting or is everything all good here?
Yeah I’m pretty sure everything in fine, framework shipped the laptop with a 60w charger just to balance output and how big they wanted to make the brick.
Framework laptops can draw up to 100 w but the laptop will only charge at a maximum of 60 w. The extra 40 w is additional headroom for the processor and will allow you to achieve its max performance.
FW16 can pull up to 240.
Thanks for the quick responses! Good to know what its limits are. I was guessing it the Anker brick wasn’t just pumping max since it got up to 136w on a MacBook Pro and the only got to 96w on the FW.
May I ask how many charges do you get from this battery?
