Emerge and non-B&O power adapter

[beopaul]

B&O officially states that only the included USB-C power supply must be used with the Emerge. Is this really true, is there something special about it besides being high quality? Anyone have luck with other power sources? I’m considering something like the Anker Prime charger.

Thanks!

[Disclaimer mode_on] I think first and foremost every B&O user who uses any add-on or third party/non-approved equipment with do so at there own risk and their own risk assessment. [Disclaimer mode_off]

 

Next, I have used a lot of these over the years. The problem they have is they burn-out relatively quickly. However, most are now cheap enough it does not matter too much.

I have used them for travelling with a business laptop more often than anything else. They are compact, easy to breakdown wire-wise and not only can you charge your laptop…..you can power all your mobile gadgets the modern world has to offer.

So with a 100W unit and a 65W power-0draw laptop, my PSU got hot quickly and soon had electronics failure (the PSU – not the laptop)

I now use a 320W unit (same size etc) and it appears far more compliant. So I’m guessing its how the solid-state transformer (or whatever it is) takes wall-mains and knocks it down to a low Amp DC voltage for whatever you are powering.
