power from 2 monitors over USB-C

Hello !

I have 2 monitors. Each can output 60W over USB-C.


Will MacBook Pro 16 get enough power if it is connected to both monitors at the same time or will it get only 60W from single monitor and nothing from second ?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.2

The Mac will choose only one single power source.


Under a heavy load the Mac can draw additional power from the battery if neccessary—this may or may not be ideal for you if you are not using the supplied Apple 96W USBC power adapter
