Principal designer of PowerShark here. Original PS spec from Commodore defined 5V/3A, 12V/0.5A and -12V/0.1A as max. load (http://www.kaiiv.de/servicemanuals/A500_Power_Supply_Specifi... page 3) It was in later models bumped up to 5V/4.5A and 12V/1A, with -12V unchanged.

In actual use, a "wedge" Amiga consumes just below 30mA from -12V line.

Visit our page, there is now a detailed FAQ and a list of various USB-C power supplies we tested with PowerShark.
