Using a Power Delivery compliant USB Type-C charger with the computer

The USB Type-C connector on the rear of the computer conforms to USB Power Delivery Specification. If you did not carry the included ac power adapter with your computer, you have the option of using a qualified USB Type-C charger (purchased separately) that is also Power Delivery compliant to charge the computer in sleep or powered-off state. Lenovo branded USB Type-C chargers with the following listed maximum ratings are tested to work with the computer. Chargers of other brands with the same ratings should also work but are not thoroughly tested.

The rear USB Type-C connector is not designed as the primary power input connector. When the computer is operating, the power supplied by the USB Type-C charger may be insufficient. As a result, the computer may not operate at its full capacity and the battery charging may stop or is very slow. Use the included ac power adapter whenever possible.

CAUTION:

When purchasing third-party USB Type-C chargers for use with the computer, choose a product that is safety approved or certified. A disqualified charger may cause damage to your computer or pose an electrical hazard. In many countries and regions, manufacturers or importers of electric chargers can submit their products to a certification authority or approved and recognized testing laboratories. Such a product usually carries a mark if it was tested to pass relevant quality and safety standards. For some countries and regions, this certification process is even mandatory. If you live in mainland China, choose a charger with the “CCC” mark; for users in many European countries, choose one with the “CE” mark; for users in the United States and Canada, choose a Listed charger that carries a mark by one of the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories. (For example, the “UL Listed”mark). For people living in other countries and regions, consult a qualified electrical engineer for how to select a safety approved electric charger.
