Is it the outlet? Is it the dock? The power brick? The usb c cable? I honestly don’t know. This is what I’m using:
Dock: JSAUX Docking Station Compatible… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B28PCDM2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Brick: UGREEN 100W USB C Charger, Nexode… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091Z6JNX4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Cable: https://share.temu.com/tw2FkuTn6LA (I will admit I cheaped out on the cable)
Is there alternatives to anything I’m using that you guys recommend?
Is there something to make my outlets output the sufficient wattage or whatever to properly charge the deck?
You have too look at the voltage as well as the wattage. For example the MacBook Pro usb-c brick can’t charge the steam deck because the voltage scale differs. Steam deck needs 15v and even though the MacBook brick can output 20v when it scales down for the Steam Deck it has to go to 9v because it doesn’t support 15v.
