Can my Swift 3 (SF314-51) be charged via USB C? If so, which specific charger can be used?

My Swift 3 (SF314-51) has a loose/broken standard charging port. Essentially, the charger was first very finicky about how it needed to be plugged in to allow for charging and today stopped charging entirely. I'm fairly certain the issue is the port itself rather than the charger. 

I noticed an old question that asked whether a different Swift 3 model (but also SF314-XX) could be charged via the USB-C port. The response to that question said that it could so long as the charger met specific criteria (19.5V 2.25A). If possible, I'd like to find a USB C charger that would work for me in lieu of using the standard charging port.

My questions are:

1. The manual does not specifically confirm this - can you confirm that a USB-C charger with these specifications would work with my laptop: 19.5V 2.25A? 
2. If yes, is the charger labeled "45W Adapter with Power Cord (USB-C Connection)" in the Acer store compatible? It does not list the specs (eg, 19.5V 2.25A). If not, is there another adapter available in the Acer online store that's available?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Good evening tbpratt !

Some models allow other devices to be charged by the USB-Type C port that provides power.
However, it is not possible to charge the laptop itself for this connection.
The device can only be charged by the standard charger connection port.
