Hi,

I am experiencing an issue with my Jetson Nano. When using a battery pack that maxes out at 3A of current the Jetson Nano only works some of the time. It will turn on, go to the boot up screen and then shut right off most of the time. When I am able to get it to stay on I get an error popup saying “System throttled due to Over-Current”.

I plugged it into a lab power supply that can max out at 5A and saw that it was measuring a max of .7A which it shuts down when it reaches it.

Is there something I am doing wrong, is there a solution that I am missing, or is my Jetson Nano just malfunctioning?

Hi UVR,

Is it official devkit of Jetson nano or Orin nano? If Jetson nano devkit, please refer to the Jetson Nano Developer Kit User Guide for the power supply requirements first. “If the developer kit’s total load is expected to exceed 2A, e.g., due to peripherals attached to the carrier board, connect the J48 Power Select Header pins to disable power supply via Micro-USB and enable 5V⎓4A via the J25 power jack.“
