I am setting up my Pi for mobile computing. I have the Pi 5 with the official cooler, Pimoroni NVME base, 4TB Crucial NVME SSD and all works well. I have not tried booting it on the DC power yet but I did when I had it testing out with a USB SSD stick.
My DC power is a 12V DC plug 100w, so 8 amps, USB C power supply. With the USB SSD it never pulled even with some heavy rendering etc... never went above 20w.
But the Pi complained about a non official power supply.
I am not adverse to spending the $$ and supporting Raspberry Pi here but in my application I absolutely must be able to run this off of 12v DC power (RV application).
I know I have the amperage available at 5v, so what is it the Pi is looking for and complaining about? I mean seriously how does it know I am using an unofficial power supply and will it slow things down because of this? If so how do I prevent that?
