Inspiron 15 3525 - USB-C charging
Hey everyone,
Can I use a USB-C type charger (from a different DELL model) to charge my laptop Inspiron 15 3525 through the USB-C port?
I want to limit the number of cables I take away with me :)

There's no harm in trying it, but the manual makes no mention of charging over USB-C.
https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/inspiron-15-3525-laptop/inspiron15_3525_ss/external-ports?guid=guid-4c4cc1ba-66a4-45f0-8dfc-6013a624ddc0&lang=en-us
The equivalent Vostro model doesn't support USB charging, so that reinforces the manual that the likely answer is no.

Thanks.
Indeed it doesn't.
It does not mention that I can charge anything using that port - but it actually does charge my devices (phone etc). It might be a given, but I am not knowledgeable enough :)
