What USB-C charger are you using? What Wattage rating does it have?


If the charger is smaller than the one which shipped with the laptop, then you may need to leave the laptop powered off until the charger is able to charge the battery sufficiently so the laptop can run off the battery. It can sometimes take a while for the battery to charge sufficiently.
