I have a 5V6A power supply that I got off aliexpress that I was hoping to power a Raspberry Pi 5 with... but I've been unsuccessful.
There seems to be a huge voltage drop when the cables/connectors I'm using. (see picture below)
I am able to get the thing to work by pushing the voltage higher on the power supply to offset the drop, but when it goes idle the current goes down (and the voltage goes up) and some sort of overvoltage protection kicks in causing the pi to shutdown.
Anyway, do you have any recommendations for how this should be correctly connected?
