Another USB type C charging question: Acer Spin 5 SP513-52N-55LV

Rokulus

I have the Spin 5 (model # SP513-52N-55LV, part # NX.GR7AA.006) and I want to be able to connect it to a docking station with the USB type C port handling everything. The charger is 45W (19V, 2.37A). Oddly, the product description on the Acer website doesn't even acknowledge the USB type C port, which I can assure you exists. The Best Buy description does mention the USB-C port and says that it can charge the laptop. An Acer customer service representative confirmed that to me the other day.

One of the docking stations I'm looking at is the Plugable UD-CAM, which outputs up to 85W with 20V & 5A, which exceeds the Spin 5's requirements. Alternatively, I could get a more modest pass-through device like the Iogear GUD3C03 (up to 60W) coupled with a powerful enough USB-C charger.

What I'm wondering is does the dock's power delivery output specifically have to match the 19V/2.37A of the Acer charger? Or will the laptop only take what it needs from a charger that exceeds 19V and 2.37A? I'm no expert in these things and I know that USB-C charging has been anything but simple so I'd appreciate some shared knowledge. Thanks!
