I'm not saying either of you are wrong, just, actually make sure they're all 45W or more.
I have tons of cheap chargers that'll slow-charge a phone, but I had to go out of my way to find ones that would actually power my Deck, for instance. Else it would drain while charging, albeit slightly more gradually, unless I had it completely powered down.
Very true. Most of mine are two or more ports, arranged where the top port is 45 or or 65, the bottom ports are 45 or 30. I color code the cables, red or white for fastest, blue or black for slower.
Heck, my car charger will do 95w between its three ports. Got that thing after we had draining issues while we were both trying to play steam decks while parked for an extended time.
