Hello, ISC-027BW power input is 5V/ 1A, but my power bank power output is 5V/3A. Is it OK, can the power bank damage ISC-027BW?

Hello,  
Sorry, please use according to the restrictions of ISC-027BW 5V/1A. If the limit is exceeded, the ISC-027BW may be damaged.

Hi, so the product description is not correct: “It adopts a 5V USB power input, so any mobile power supply with a USB interface can supply power for it”. It’s hard to find 1A power banks (only older ones and with small capacity), newer power banks have 3A output.

It should not be a problem, see another comment of Tania

> It appears that I am unable to use my RavPower PB41 with my new ISC -027BW due to a 1 amp limit? My RavPower says 2.4amp max. Will it hurt my 027BW or will the battery pack only give it 1 amp of the 2.4 amp max. I hope it is usable as it was a strong reason I bought the InkBird. Thanks….
