However in practicality I don’t think you would see much/any difference in benchmarks or real world usage. However if you run the system without a battery on a small charger, like a 45W charger you may see significant throttling, or will not be able to support multiple power hungry type-c devices and the system will shu… or this: > [@USB-C charging](http://community.frame.work/t/usb-c-charging/447/3): > > Hi @Denys_Pasishnyi! Welcome! And yes we support USB-C Charging from most chargers up to 100W. I have spent some time making sure our charging can support as many chargers as possible, and our battery buck-boost charging architecture supports any charger voltage from 5V to 20V. The Laptop is designed to operate with chargers 60W+, but we can support anything down to about 15W - We added this as kind of an “emergency use” condition, as you are likely to drain the battery while using the system… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/framework-motherboard-drawing-insufficient-power/22708)._
