Is the D Tap and the USB C port regulated?
Asked by: Deborah
The D-Tap of the IDX System Technology SB-U98 PD Sony BP-U Lithium-Ion Battery (14.4V, 98Wh) will provide a voltage between 11-16.6V, while the USB-C port is PD rated and so will provide 5, 9, 15 or 20V to PD compatible devices and a standard 5V to non-PD USB-C devices.
