Can anyone confirm if the official Raspberry Pi 2.5A power supply (the 2.5A model at https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-universal-power-supply) is also fine to use as a power supply for older Raspberry Pi models, and as a general USB charger, e.g. for phones?
I ask because there's nothing specifically ruling this out on the Pimoroni shop page, but I've seen some other sites claiming otherwise. For example, on https://www.rasppishop.de/51V-25A-Netzteil-offiziell-fuer-Raspberry-Pi-3-Model-B-Weiss at the bottom it says (in German):
This power supply is only suitable for the RasPi3! Do not use it with one of the older 5V Pi models, or as a battery charger / power supply to other Micro USB devices such as Mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, etc.!
Is there any truth to this?
