Can the PowerShark Protect Your Amiga? Full Test and Review

In this video I'm going to test out the PowerShark, the new USB-C power supply for the Amiga 500, 600 and 1200.

I'm going to put it through a gruling array of tests to see how it handles them, and how this could help protect your Amiga from any power supply damage.

A yes, it is possible to get more than power from a standard USB socket - The PowerIQ standard on Anker devices seems to support it, but it seems to be an unofficial USB standard.

This video is not sponsored, I purchased the PowerShark for my own use.
