I was trying to diagnose how on earth does this thing drain battery even when plugged in. It's in 5V mode, ffs. Temporarily fixed this by using my thinkpad charger, but I guess I need to get new a brick after all.

If anyone else has charging issues, I used Powersupply and Mission Center in the screenshot.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a PD 3.0 charger that does 20V?

That’s what they recommend at least under accessories
