zbook 15 g6 chosse power supply when two are connected

[miyake]

Hi, 

I currently have a docking station that provides up to 100W connected via Thunderbolt port on my zbook.

The laptop is closed and I use the docking station to boot it.

When performing heavier tasks, I noticed that the battery level my decrease a bit just for a while.

So for that, I'd like to also plug it into the regular power connector and choose to use it after boot.

Is it possible?

Would you recommend some other option that doesn't involve replacing the docking station or stopping using it to boot the closed laptop? 

Thanks!

I will never be able to understand why new members do not notice  properly identify their laptops.

HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years.



It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..

Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.

Method #2: Press the power button and immediately tap the F10 key to invoke the BIOS. In the Main section, you will find the Product number or Product ID. Post that in your next reply in your thread.

Method #3: Press the power button and immediately tap the F2 key.

Method #4: If powering on is not an option, take a look at the bottom of the laptop for the label with the product name and product number. For a desktop look at the rear for the label.

If your laptop has HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI version 10.3.0.0, there is a System Information section that also has the Product ID.
We need that information, along with the installed Operating System information to help you.

Sorry, you need more than "zbook 15 g6"? 

This was in the subject of my post.

The power adapter your zBook 15 G6 was delivered with supplies 150 W. 

See the Maintenance & Service manual (ch 3, page 27, table 3-7) or the label on the delivered power adapter.

That is the reason that your dock can't supply enough current to keep up with your mobile workstation's requirements.

I’m aware of the fact. And knowing it unfortunately doesn’t answer my question… but thank you!

"So for that, I'd like to also plug it into the regular power connector and choose to use it after boot."

What does that mean?

Can you rephrase that statement and make it more specific?
