USB-C charging on Pavillion 14-ek0000

[CBecke]

There are many conflicting answers to similar questions on these forums.

The laptop came with a standard barrel plug type charger. There is also a USB-C port.

I’m trying to figure the minimum wattage for USB-C charging.

The owners manual has the following specifications.

Table 13-1 DC power specifications
Input Power Rating

5 V dc @ 3 A / 9 V dc @ 3 A / 12 V dc @ 2.5 A / 15 V dc @2 A – 30 W USB-C®
5 V dc @ 2 A / 12 V dc @ 3 A /15 V dc @ 3 A – 45 W USB-C

5 V dc @ 3 A / 9 V dc @ 3 A / 12 V dc @ 5 A / 15 V dc @ 4.33 A / 20 V dc @ 3.25 A – 65 W USB-C
5 V dc @ 3 A / 9 V dc @ 3 A / 10 V dc @ 5 A / 12 V dc @ 5 A / 15 V dc @ 4.33 A / 20 V dc @ 3.25 A – 65 W USB-C
5 V dc @ 3 A / 9 V dc @ 3 A / 10 V dc @ 5 A / 12 V dc @ 5 A / 15 V dc @ 5 A / 20 V dc @ 4.5 A – 90 W USB-C
5 V dc @ 3 A / 9 V dc @ 3 A / 12 V dc @ 5 A / 15 V dc @ 5 A / 20 V dc @ 5 A / 5 V dc USB-A port @ 2 A – 100 W USB-C + 10 W USB-A
19.5 V dc @ 2.31 A – 45 W 19.5 V dc @ 3.33 A – 65 W 19.5 V dc @ 4.62 A – 90 W 19.5 V dc @ 6.15 A – 120 W 19.5 V dc @ 6.9 A – 135 W 19.5 V dc @ 7.70 A – 150 W

19.5 V dc @ 10.3 A – 200 W 19.5 V dc @ 11.8 A – 230 W 19.5 V dc @ 16.92 A – 330 W 20 V dc @ 14 A – 280 W

All those listings including USB-C seem to imply that 15v, 2A, 30W or better should suffice.

Am I reading that right?

What is your Pavillion 14-ek0000 ? For example

                   HP Pavilion Laptop 14-dv0000nw

You can use a compatible USB-C charger with wattage rating 45W or above to charge above machine. 30W is too weak, it can charge your machine when sleep or off.
