Avoid the frustration. Power your NeoBlade right.
Some users have experienced issues charging their NeoBlade due to incompatible USB-C adapters. This guide helps you choose the correct power supply — ensuring smooth operation and longer battery life.
What NeoBlade Requires
- Power Protocol: USB-PD (Power Delivery)
- Required Output: 12V ≥ 1.8A (fixed voltage)
- Cable: USB-C to USB-C 3A (included in the box)
If your charger only supports 9V, it will charge slowly (max 10W).
