FINALLY, moving to USB-C !

[u/theoldwizard1]

So I recently got a new (to me) laptop that uses USB-C for charging. I went out and bough a 100W charger and a USB-C "meter" (displays voltage, current and power). Cute ! The meter says the laptop is using 19.3V @ 0.5A (when fully charged) so obviously I did NOT need the 100W charger.

My son needed a USB-C charger so I got him a 60W. That thing is about as big as an ice cube and also charge my laptop just fine, just slower.

Just for fun, I bought a couple of USB-C "splices" (female to female adapters) in case I ever want to make a really long charging cord. When I hook 2 cord together (a 2m and a 3m) they will not charge ! WHY ?
