My pass through charging feature on my Snap is not working. What do I do?Updated 12 days ago
The Xebec Snap has a pass-through charging feature that allows you to charge your laptop via the Xebec Snap Bracket, eliminating the need for a direct connection to a USB-C port on your laptop.
Charger compatibility:
For pass-through charging we recommend a charger rated 45W to 100W for one screen, or 55W to 100W for two.
Below that range your laptop and screens may not both get enough power, which shows up as flickering, blackouts, or a battery that drains while plugged in. Above roughly 100W the connection may not start at all, so if your laptop came with a larger charger, use a smaller one for pass-through.
If pass-through charging is not working: Laptop manufacturers may control the flow of power via software such as Dell Power Manager or Lenovo Vantage. These power profiles can impact the function and performance of pass-through charging and may need to be adjusted. Docking stations can interfere in the same way
If your laptop meets the criteria to support pass through charging and you continue to face issues please reach out to our support team here. We are happy to assist!
