I don’t know where else to ask this and it’s outside of CS hours for square.

I have a square terminal, I lost the charger. Square doesn’t seem to sell replacement chargers, but my terminal wont charge on any other charger.

It doesn’t even try. I’ve tried everything from the cheap usb-c cables to the expensive ones. Samsung, apple, belkin, etc, plugged into my computer, into the wall, into the 12v in my truck. The cables all work fine, but the terminal just won’t charge on them.

So what chargers work for everyone else?

My terminal is dead and I need a good working charger for it by Friday.

    You probably need to use a PD charger (power delivery). If you have android USB C chargers, use ones that phones have “fast charging” or USB c chargers for laptops. The key here is that the wattage is too low on the phone chargers you’re using. I can charge my square terminals slowly with 10w chargers, the standard 5w from a computer won’t do. Shoot for 18w or above to use less power than the charging rate. Good luck!

      I left it plugged into a wall outlet with an 18w cord (it’s completely dead) overnight and it didn’t even get to 1%, but I ordered a 60w for a laptop to pick up in the morning.
