I have a 40w charger that splits it into 20w/20w and usually, if only one cable is being used, it gets the full 40 - It wont really charge with one, so should I plug in both at the same time ?

[image] Gulfam_Rana_Amd: if only one cable is being used, it gets the full 40 From reading the charger’s specs, it says it will not provide 40W if one cable is used. Each USB-C port is 20W max. There are customer pictures of the label on the side of the charger which also says that. [imag…

I think the best thing out of this is learning how to measure it, I will definetly test the next brick I buy

[image] Gulfam_Rana_Amd: I think I need a new brick, the only reason I didnt get frameworks is bcs I want the same one for my laptop and phone, but they both need different voltage, do you have any recommended brick for that? The Framework 60w power brick supports 5v, 9v, 15v, and 20v. The Fr…
