Can I charge Thinkpad E15 Gen 4 with phone charger via USB-C?

Hi,

I have a Thinkpad E15 Gen 4 which has a USB-C connection to the charger. I don't have the Lenovo supplied power pack with me.

I want to charge the laptop using another non-Lenovo USB charger, i.e. a regular phone charger.

When I plug in a phone charger into the USB-C it is not recognised - I assume due to low wattage. Is there any way to allow a trickle-charge, which would be enough to extend battery life if plugged into a monitor?

Hello hsfg,

Welcome to Lenovo Community

For Lenovo or ThinkPad machines, we only recommend that you use the compatible charger/AC adapter since they are designed and tested in the lab.
You may use accessories from other manufacturers, however we cannot speak for 3rd party or aftermarket devices.
