In another scenario, if you carry your computer around without the included ac power adapter, you may use
a capable USB-C charger to provide power through the rear USB-C port. In both scenarios, the output
power of a USB-C charger or the USB-C port on a dock or display should be at least 20 V and 2.25 A in order
to provide power to your computer. The following table lists the charging capability of a USB-C port on a
charger or an external device based on its maximum output power.
Table 1. Maximum output power of a USB-C port and its capability of charging the computer
Maximum output power of a USB-C port
20 V, 3.25 A or greater
20 V, 2.25 A or greater, but less than 20 V, 3.25 A
Less than 20 V, 2.25 A
Note: If the computer is already connected to an electrical outlet using the included power adapter, the
computer will not receive power through the USB-C port.
The rear USB-C port is not designed as the primary power input port. If it is used as the only external power
source, the computer may not operate at its full capacity and battery charging may be longer than expected.
Whenever possible, use the included ac power adapter to provide power to your computer.
