Lenovo 65W charger - does it have the e-chip to charge other devices?

x509 · 25 Nov 2023

I am about to get a new Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera that uses USB-C charging. Issue is that a Power Delivery USB-C cable is needed. Instead of getting yet another USB cable, I was wondering if my Lenovo 65W charger have the right circuitry? Here is part of the product description:

It features Smart Voltage: technology which automatically detects and delivers 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 15V/3A or 20V/2.25A.

I can't find any info about the charging voltage and current for AC chargers for this camera.

The Nikon Z8 does NOT run Windows 10. My PC does: 2H22 v 19045

In my years as an electrical engineer I have discovered, usually with a little pain involved, that you should always use the adapter in the device it was designed for, and nowhere else.

In other words, do not do it unless you are prepared to potentially screw up your camera.
