The online m15 R5 Setup and Specifications PDF shows = USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPortConnect devices such as external storage devices, printers, and external displays. Provides data transfer rate of up to 10 Gbps. Supports DisplayPort 1.4 and also enables you to connect an external display using a display adapter. NOTE: A USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter (sold separately) is required to connect a DisplayPort device. It never mentions "charging".
I have recently purchased the alienware m15 R5. Whilst I wasn't expecting great battery life and am fine with that, and have found ways to increase the battery life, I am still only getting a predicted 4 hours battery life. I was wondering if it can be charged via the USB Type-C port on the back via a portable charger? Even if that was just a trickle, or to charge whilst turned off in a break. I have tried with a 25W charger, however it didn't even detect it. I am wondering if that is because of the low power, or the fact it doesn't support USB Type-C charging?
m15 R5, charge via USB Type-C?
