Here’s the charger he’s talking about ICYMI (it’s finally back, remember they announced it like a year or two ago).
Personally, I would wait until Anker’s dual-port version comes out, which should allow for each port to use 30W (or 45W/15W or whatever) or one port to use all 60W.
Yeah but it sounds like he wants to pick up the charger now who knows when that dual Port will be released.
I think he really wants the PowerPort II PD 4.
Crossing my fingers that both of those - and others - (that were shown off at CES nearly 6 months ago) get released in the next 6 months. 
At the rate Anker has been releasing products in the last month or two I’m sure they will be released sooner than later.
I have the 30W PD charger with 4 ports sharing 30W. I read it off the label.
1st phase is accept the reduction in recharge from the official supplied 45W charger. If that experience is good then get the 45W version when it is shipping. Cable consolidation matters a little more than charger consolidation, when you put it all together in a bag, the cables really add most of the bulk.
My preference is no more than 60W total power to keep the charger down in size and it prioritizes the sharing across ports, so e.g. can do 45W PD and shares 15W over other ports, or as my laptop gets near to fully charged, it’s draw drops to say 30W then the other ports share 30W. I don’t want to see huge chargers.
We’ll be underwater by time Anker releases PD stuff, icecaps melted. I hope Anker moves further inland by then.
Lol, Hey we could get smacked by an asteroid in the next hour carpe diem
Along with the Powerline II 3.1 gen 2 cable should suit your needs well. The charger is pretty compact.
I wonder how the size of the 100W one coming out will compare to the one you already have.
Cable delivered. Doesn’t work. Same sympton as before, laptop flashes its power light and does not show itself recharging. Debugging… beginning in BIOS then drivers. I would tend to think in this case the Lenovo model does NOT support USB-PD recharging, because if it did it would come with a USB-PD charger. I might have an older model than the one who’s spec says it supports USB-PD recharging.
Oh, no! 
Booted into BIOS, nothing there to enable, device settings, nothing there.
This could be…
This specific Anker Powerport does not interoperate to Lenovo’s requirements. So Anker and Lenovo does not get along.
Or, bad Powerport.
I don’t own any other products to debug. I won’t buy any more either!
I wouldn’t say its bad, or doesn’t support PD but rather than you do not have enough power to sufficiently charge it. The one you have only outputs 30W, so maybe that is below the threshold for it to charge properly
But at least I own another useless cable and $20 poorer which may eventually become useful.
This is too hit’n’miss to throw serious $ at it. If I come across someone else’s higher spec PD charger I’ll try theirs.
Maybe that’s the case, but you would think it would still trickle charge at least. Either way, it’s unfortunate.
The port on the Powerport does work, it can recharge a non-PD tablet wanting 5V 2A, and one wanting 5V 3A so its output’ing. I suspect its a comptability issue, which plaqued Anker’s PD products 2017
The Powerport 5 USB-C (non PD) does not charge the 5V 3A tablet, but the Choetech one does.
The Choetech USB-C cable does work with the Powerport5-C but my new today Anker Powerline II cable does not.
All very hit’n’miss, seems random luck of combinations.
Ouch that sucks sorry bud. Hope you get it working
Nigel,
I work for a Lenovo partner. If you want to PM me the model and serial of the laptop, I am happy to take a look at some documentation for you and get a definitive answer on USB-C charging.
Might help narrow any issues down for you…
Nigel,
Just sent you a PM
Implies is the correct word.
USB-C is able to charge a laptop. So is USB-micro (my laptop uses that).
But far from all manufactures actually support it.
Having a certain shaped plug doesn’t automatically mean that it can be used for charging. And if it can it doesn’t grantee it can charge as fast as USB-C supports.
Just checking I not missed any Anker products which do 45W PD. The only ones I noticed is the Atom 4 and the 60W Powerport Speed PD 60 . Anything else?
You can always get This
It’s a PowerPort Speed 1, 60w PD wall charger which should be sufficient to charge your laptop now
