   That doesn't sound right.   
      
   Raspberry Pi sell three different USB-C PSUs:   
      
   - A 15W PSU for use with the Pi 4/400 only.   
   - A 27W PSU for use with the Pi5/500 (and 4/400)   
   - A 45W PSU which is like the 27W but more powerful and can power some    
   laptops, etc.   
      
   The 27W and 45W PSUs support the USB Power Delivery spec and will    
   provide a range of powers/voltages after negotiation with the device.    
   The 15W PSU provides only 5V/3A, and is stated to be inadequate for the    
   Pi5 and later.   
      
   There is no official "kosher" 25W PSU from Raspberry Pi.
