Using 180W adapter with 130W WD15 Docking station.
| I have Precision 5520 and Dell Dock WD15 130W, Currently Dock is working fine but it cannot charge the battery because the dock itself need some power however I just want to know that If I connect the same Dock(130W) to an 180W adapter, will it charge the battery as well or not? |

Dear Sir,
I have just replied through inbox
I have exactly the same query. A colleague already has a 130w WD15 dock, but will be upgrading to a 15 inch XPS so would need to use the 180w if we wanted to charge as well as provide power. So can I just purchase a 180w power brick, or are there differences internally in the 130/180w WD15 docks?
Best

@snaillord The docks internally are identical. You can upgrade a 130W WD15 to 180W simply be replacing the power source. At that point your maximum power delivered to the attached system will increase from 90W to 130W, assuming you are using a supported Dell system. The XPS 15 models all support 130W delivered over USB-C.
JP is, as usual, spot on.
