Hi everyone!
I am writing because I recently discovered that there could be a possibility to ditch my enormous power brick and use an USB-C to barrel jack adapter to charge my HP laptop. The device in question is an HP Pavilion 15 series (15-bc206nl, purchased in June 2017) that I refurbished to use for light tasks, however it is inconvenient for me to carry its original big power adapter around to charge the battery (TE04XL, non-original, 15.4 V, 63.3Wh). Its adapter is 150W (unfortunately I don't know much more about it because I can't find anything online, neither its original specs sticker). I still don't know why it is so overspecced, as my laptop only charges with max 32W from the wall and reaches 56W peak power draw when fully charged and connected to power (maybe it's limited due to the laptop recognizing a non-original battery). After a bit of research i found this USB-C adapter, but then quickly realized that my barrel jack is 4.5x3.0 mm, so it doesn't fit. Does anyone know any reputable adapters that could fit my needs (even if 65 or 90W, 150W ones are difficult to find or either impossibile for this use case) while avoiding to burn my house down?
