Product: HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14 inch Mobile Workstation PC (AY8K0AV)

I've Just got my Zbook G1a and I find the included charger is quite large when I'm travelling. I have a few different USB chargers, however non of them work. the highest output is a 100W USB C charger but when I use this the port flashes white, stops, and then doesn't charge the laptop. Putting in the 140W included charger work's without issue. Does the laptop need a minimum wattage to charge the laptop? I'm now looking at a Satechi GaN travel charger, 145W, but I don't want to spend the money in case there's some other issue that prevents 3rd party charging etc.

 

I'm also using an Anker Prime 240W USB C charging cable, not sure if this is a factor, I've also ordered a cable matters USB4 cable to see if that works 

 

Any help appreciated.
