Will a 65w usbc charger work?

4ce_Games

I have a new gigabyte laptop, it comes with a 230w charger, but I am also looking into getting a USB-C charger so that I can have a small one for on the go, like in classes and stuff. Would getting a 65w charger work? I know it would be slower but would it suffice?

 

the battery is about 49 whrs

Depends on what the laptop needs in terms of charging voltage and whether it implements USB-PD. A properly USB-PD-compliant 65 W charger should support everything from 5, 9, 15 to 20V 3A. If the laptop uses one of those to charge then I think it should be ok, assuming that the laptop uses USB-PD and that you use a USB-PD compliant charger.

Looking at the specs page on the gigabyte site, all it says is the 49 whrs and the 230w cable

What is the model? If you look at the charger brick it should also tell you what it outputs / can output.

The input is 100-240v and 3.5a

the output is 19.5v and 11.8a

Hmm 19.5 isn't among the required voltages for USB-PD. What is the laptop model? I would check the manual, but you may need to be more selective when looking for chargers than just any USB-C one to make sure that voltage is supported. 11.8 A is also high, so you can't have it revving up to heavy load if using a lesser charger.
