[Question] - Is dual 3A a hard requirement for the battery?

[David-VTUK]

Hi all,

I'm trying to source a battery for the Jetbot using the documented BOM as a reference. In the UK at least, getting hold of the Iniu BI-B3 is challenging. Updated models, such as the BI-B6 are available. It states the following in the spec sheet regarding the USB-A ports:

I reached out to Iniu asking if this was per-port or in total and their response was:

When the power bank charges two devices at the same time, the current only reaches a maximum of 3A and does not support fast charging.

I assume based on this, the BI-B6 is not suitable?

Alternatively, is there a non Iniu battery people are using?

Thanks

After testing out a few power banks it appears that, yes, this is a hard requirement.
