Availability of EU Power Adapter

Framework Laptop 13
1

Hi,

I saw that the EU Power Adapter is currently not available. Do you have an estimate about when it will be back in stock?

I am a little surprised at making a topic for such an ask.

There are many such requests and the answer is always wait and see but further when I check it is available.

I can understand that you are surprised, but if I’d have seen stock or find an answer, you can be sure that I’d have never spent the time to create an account and write a post.

Regarding the search the first results do not offer any meaningful information:

Sitting down and waiting is always an option, of course. For how long? I would like to know it, that’s why I ask.

Yes I do understand but asking a public forum is not a great idea as we have the same info - none.

Framework will only know when they are shipped to the warehouse.

There are different warehouses, clearly the one supporting your country doesn’t have them yet whist the one supporting the UK does.

You will just have to wait unless you have a friend in the UK to buy and bring or ship it to you.

So what is the problem. Can you not use an alternative 65W+ charger with a PD output?

So what voltage do you use ? The UK is 230V and the power unit can be connected to an EU type plug and cable.

The only difference is the mains socket, the power adapter itself supports 100~240V. You can either use another power adapter or buy the framework 60W and buy a EU cable on another shop

I guess my main mistake was thinking that the forum would be kind of “officially supported by Frame.work” and I someone from the company would give an answer.

Based on your answer and @Charlie_6’s I understand that the power charger is mainly the same. I also had a look to YouTube for some video showing the different sides of the charger. I can perfectly buy the UK power adapter and use one of the multiple EU cables I have at home.

I have a preference for the official Framework charger based on my experience with the Raspberry Pi (I never had an issue with the official adapter, while others gave me some headache)s. However, you both let me think about it and I’ll do some research to see if there are alternative power adapter that I can use for the Framework and simultaneously with other devices. Any tip on this is welcome.

Thanks

I do use the official on both the Raspi 4B and my 11th Gen framework.

So no tips on alternatives, it’s just 65W and PD protocol and of course there is the 16" power supply at 180W but a bit big to carry around maybe.
