Low Voltage - Computer Accessories and Peripherals

I tried using a 65v adapter with Lenovo's old square end to reuse it. (It worked great with another USB-C converter I had until it fell apart). This new converter arrived and it looked and felt good, connects well - just get a low voltage warning from the laptop to "replace adapter and press esc to continue". I tried 90V (more than my laptop needs) with this converter and same warning. I plugged in a 65V USB-C adapter and the laptop was happy. This transducer is clipping too low. I come back.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Something Else

Lenovo laptop slow charging warning

Lenovo laptop displays slow charging warning. It works, but not very well. Spend a few bucks more and you'll find other adapters that work great with Lenovo laptops and other fast chargers. I've also tried this to power a Nintendo Switch dock and this adapter causes the switch to say an incompatible power adapter has been connected (related to low charging speed) while the other square tip adapter works fine . Avoid this product again, for a few bucks you can get another one that will work…

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • AC outlet required

Lenovo laptops don't like it

I work in the IT support department and I have about 1000 Lenovo laptops to service. As we transitioned from thin-tipped laptops to USB-C, I was looking for a solution to keep using all those old 65W power adapters and was glad I found it. However, laptops don't like it. When I plug it in and start the laptop, it complains that it doesn't have enough power. I even tried the 90W and 135W power adapters that come with Lenovo docking stations. To my credit, if I start the laptop on battery power…

Pros
  • USB to USB adapter
Cons
  • Non-automatic
