Dell G15, can I charge through the ⚡ USB C
Hi
I have a Dell G15 with the thunderbolt USB C (it has a ⚡ beside the port) can I charge through this or any other port (left my charger at home, away for a week, can't buy one). Pretty desperate it will cost me a day and $850.00 to retrieve my charger from home.
I have a 12Vdc/1.5A wall plug for USB C. (Sorry nubie here, it also says output, 5Vdc at 3A, is it variable and will self adjust to voltage?)
Will this do any harm ?
TIA

That charger is nowhere near enough to run a G15. We'd need to know exactly which G15 you have, but if it has a higher-end GPU aboard, it probably needs a 240W power adapter -- meaning no, you can't charge the system or run it over a Thunderbolt connection.

@ejn63
Thanks for the response.
If it is switched off, will it charge overnight ?
Can it damage it to try ?
