No, the charger wasn’t strong enough to charge the 10000, the WALL charger, that I was using it with, So they sent me the 60W one but i don’t know the name
We Love Testing | Upcoming Testing Events
OK if its 60W that has to be 20V so should work.
Implies a dud shipped tester unit.
If you had a volt meter could debug which part is dud.
I dont have the manual, but if says others included that is a document error as they clearly state on Amazon its zero or one adapters.

30W is 15V so impossible to work. The 60W is 20V so should work.

I may be able to get my hands on one…but sadly this weekend is taken up by work. I’ll get back to ya about it on Monday.
It says the C output does 20V
OK my bad, you said 60W C and A, so that’s not actually 60W from the C, that may be the culprit.
Is your charger this:
That’s actually 45W from C. 20V ⎓ 2.25A
So your laptop also must work with 45W. A very quick check for it’s chargers imply
Which means it should work, your charger is 20V 45W both the HP and the Anker.
Implies dud cable!

Ok, yes that’s my charger, I was very confused where you were going with that until the last sentence. lol TY for working this out with me. That’s the point of testing right? I’ll give it another try with a different charger, but if what u are saying is correct (it usually is!) then I should be fine, because yes my laptop does take a small charger…45W
Sounds like a dud cable unit. The HP wants 19.5V, the charger is 20V so if you have more than (Ohm’s Law 0.5V/2.25A) 0.2 Ohms then the voltage drop may be making the laptop not accept.
If its loose then that is the most likely cause, you’re losing voltage due to resistance in the adaptor-cable connection. Other laptop types, say 18.5V, would be more forgiving.
My bet - dud unit shipped.

Yea, the current charger brick/middle piece does say 19.5V…damn, do we get the chance to get a replacement for I love Testing?
You’d think so!
Listen, if you ensure the laptop is fully charged so it never draws 2.25A, but say 1A, then (Ohm’s Law V=IxR) you’ll get less of a voltage drop from a badly made setup.
Laptop off, fully charged from HP charger, move to your 45W PD + cable, power on - that may then mean the BIOS Post passes the power. It’s an imperfect hack, but may work.
Hopefully one of the testers have meters to test the Voltage drop.

I see what your trying to do there, smart! Yea, my laptop was about half full when I tried, so I will do that and see if there are any other features I could change to drop power consumption. TY. I gtg for today, I’ve been at work since 7:00am and bak again tomorrow. Seriously @professor TY for all the help. On a lighter note, I also got my 10000 Hybrid from the Power User page today too, it’s cool than I thought. One thing I didn’t think about, it can charge my L2P case, wirelessly, cool!

It isn’t at the moment, click on the black version its on discount today. $26
I have a theory they’re shifting stock prior to announcing 85W charger next month. Let’s see how good I am at predicting…

I just saw the notification for this reply and I was like “this better be a new one!” lol
UPDATE: It’s WORKING!!! I’m so happy. Little tweaking and it works! Let the Testing begin!

Bundling.
I think there should be a bundled option so users who are not geeks get something which works, but I’m against bundling for myself as I prefer to pick.
For example to keep wall socket use to minimum, I prefer 2 socket chargers so I’d prefer a dual 45W + 10W to charge laptop and phone at same time.
I reckon a 60W+15W dual is coming soon it would be a good match for this cable.
