Lovely, thank you for this video! It's a niche topic, but exactly what I needed :)

[@mafugagaming8915]

Bro recently i purchased lenovo loq but it's not charging with type c

[@mafugagaming8915]

Is it because my charger 18 watts😅😅

[@majorwedgy]

you legend, exactly what i was looking for. Tried my 65w charger with a crap cable and got an error saying it was insufficient to power the laptop. Got a 96w mac charger to help out and glad to see because of your video that it will work!

[@kyledupont7711]

You are a Legend! After purchasing multiple Chargers and trying everything, I finally got a Macbook charger 95 watts, it didn't work with any cable I had, I bought an actual 100 watt USBC charging cable and it works I don't have to carry my giant charger brick anymore. It will keep the battery maintained at 60% with conservation mode on, with conservation mode off it charges 1% about every few minutes even while I'm using it with the RGB on full blast. Thank you!!

[@azlanikram9393]

Make sure your laptop supports pd charging and use the pd type c port (not all usb c ports support usb pd charging)

[@tejasshekar]

I'm tired of carrying around that 300W brick with my laptop. Now with PD charging, what is the minimum charger wattage that I should buy that would support my daily usage, including some occasional AAA titles gaming ? Have you tried out the gaming aspect of this ? Like with a PD charger ?

[@alphwolfy2028]

I'm wondering the answer to this too

[@juliocastillo8914]

Depends on the type C- PD version of your laptop....if 3.0 then only 100w. If 3.1 then up to 240w

[@tejasshekar]

@@juliocastillo8914 are there any good GaN chargers of 240W that would work well with type c PD ?

[@tejasshekar]

@@juliocastillo8914 even if its 3.1, Lenovo has limited it to 100W and clearly says it is not to be used as a primary charging source.

[@juliocastillo8914]

It's not limited to 100w, is just that the voltage and current they use is different than usual standards, but there's small charger 140w that works.

[@kyledupont7711]

I thought I was smart, and bought an actual Lenovo laptop charger, just smaller than the official one, with the same charging port as the big charger that comes with it. Unfortunately it doesn't work at all even though it seems like it delivers enough Watts

[@brucedeo1981]

Hi thanx for the video, i have done the same test. However i found something interesting. Under full load, some chargers don't behave the same! For example my 100w charger while charging or simple tasks (browsing etc) does deliver 100w (around 95W). However under full load (gaming) the charger stops charging! Other chargers (my 65w) keeps charging even at full load (of course battery still drops but very very slowly)

[@azlanikram9393]

Ooh that’s insightful

[@brucedeo1981]

@@azlanikram9393 yes. So in practice, for me at least, its better to use my 65w charger, because it keeps providing power under heavy load, while my 100w charger simply cuts power. My 100w charger provides power faster when idle or simply charger. Weird!

[@Ben-eq7mc]

Привет. Спасибо за видео. У меня тоже Legion 5 3060 5600h. Я правильно понял, что если я хочу заряжать ноутбук от power bank через power delivery и пользоваться им желательно что бы он выдавал мощность 100 ватт?
