WD19 Docking station and Precision 5550 power source

Can I have both the docking station using USB-C and the Power Adaptor 130W plugged in at same time? Will this over power the laptop? Is this recommended?

@KCNupe01  It won’t damage anything since the system will only draw what it wants from the power source it wants to use, but if you have the version of the WD19 with the 180W adapter, then the WD19 will be able to pass up to 130W through to the attached system, and then you can avoid dealing with two cables and having to keep the system power adapter there as well. The WD19 when ordered with a 130W adapter can only pass up to 90W through. If that’s the version you have, you can get a Dell 180W adapter separately and use it with the dock though.
