Laptop charger can be broken, lost, forgotten somewhere. Let’s find out whether it is possible to charge a laptop by charging from a smartphone and whether it is dangerous for a laptop battery.
Experts will immediately mention a dozen ways to charge a laptop. This can be done, for example, with an electric generator, solar panel, power bank or car battery. And if you use a charger from a smartphone?
The first and foremost condition will be the presence of a USB Type-C connector in the laptop. This port is also used to charge more and more smartphones. The Type-C standard supports power transmission in both directions and power up to 100 watts.
If your laptop only has a USB 2.0 or 3.0 connector, you can only charge your smartphone from a laptop battery, but not charge the laptop with a phone charger. Of course, if you have a Lightning or MicroUSB connector, you simply can’t connect it to your laptop without an adapter.
It is equally important to use accessories from well-known manufacturers. Yes, an unknown 1 A adapter can actually only produce half an ampere. Nothing bad will happen to the laptop, but from such ZP it, most likely, will not be charged at all.
The vast majority of chargers for smartphones and tablets emit 5 V. This voltage of the laptop you certainly will not hurt.
The question of power remains. The laptop will have this figure many times higher than the mobile gadget. Yes, the 13- and 15-inch Macbooks are designed for 61 and 87 watts, respectively, so ideally use a powerful charger. The lower the memory power, the longer the laptop will charge.
