PC is charging slowly or discharging when its plugged in
Possible causes
Solutions to try
-
The charger isnt compatible with your PC.
Note:Some USB chargers, such as micro USB and USB-C chargers, use a proprietary charger. Therefore, your PC might only be able to use a charger from your PC manufacturer.
-
The charger isnt powerful enough to charge your PC.
-
The charger isnt connected to the charging port on your PC.
-
The charging cable doesnt meet the power requirements for the charger or PC.
Notes:
-
A PC with USB-C connectors has higher power limits than a PC that doesnt charge using a USB-C connection. USB-C can support up to 5V, 3A, 15W. If the connector supports USB Power Delivery, which is a standard, it can charge faster and at higher power levels.
-
To get the fastest charging time, your PC, charger, and cable must support the industry standards. Your charger and charging cable must support the power levels that the PC needs for the fastest charging time. For example, if your PC requires 12V and 3A for charging, a 5V, 3A charger wont be the best for charging your PC.
