Dell W19 Power Options 130W,180W, 240W
Hi, I do have 2 W19TBS (with 180W adapters) and a W19DC (with 240W adapter) at home for the various locations I use my laptop in the house. My laptop is a XPS 9700. I was wondering if I can get out more power with a 240W adapter on a W19TBS or really need the W19DC upgrade to deliver the 210W power.
I'm curious. Can a single USB-C (W19TBS) Can deliver 210W with the 240W adapter? or will it break something?

@charles.labranche The TBS can deliver 130W when powered by a 180W adapter. It will not deliver more power with a 240W adapter, nor would your system draw more anyway even though it uses Dell Hybrid Power.
The DC(S) pushes 210W of power by using dual USB-C connectors. In single connector mode it has the same 130W max as the TB(S).

And just as an aside, the real issue isn't with the Dell docks but with the USB-C specifications.
