Powering Arizer ExtremeQ with USBC-PD and a cool adapter - eviltoast

I wanted to power my extreme with my powerststion directly since its a 20v DC device, however arizer doesn’t make car adapters. So I got clever.

This setup makes good use of my power stations 100w USBC-PD charger port by utilizing a special USBC-PD to DC input cable that lets you manually select the voltage you want the charger to put out. This is necessary since the extremeq doesn’t have the tech to communicate with the charger, so this device communicates in its stead.

USBC-PD 100W can put out 20vdc at 5a, the extremeq consumes 20vdc at 1-3a, comfortably below the spec limits.

This is an excellent way to power your extremeq and other similarly power rated desktops right from a dc system/ portable battery without the horrible inefficiency of converting to ac just to convert back to DC.
