Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58, Can I use my laptop with the power supply from the docking station?

TheAceMan

Hello community,

Here is the deal, have an ACER (Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58) laptop, and I want to use a docking station with this laptop. I use this computer with its original charger; however, the docking station I want to buy has the functionality to charge the device connected to it using the USB-C port. My question is: Can I use my laptop with the power supply from the docking station (100W) and the original charger at the same time? Will any component of the laptop be damaged if I use both power sources simultaneously?

The docking station works with power provided by its own charger, similar to the docking stations from UGREEN.

I hope you can help me with this.

Hi, you can use both the power adapter and a 100-W USB-C charger or Thunderbolt USB-C docking station at the same time on a "first come first serve basis" and it will also give priority to the highest power source. There will be no damage to any component doing this.
