Targus 45W USB Type-C AC Wall Charger Expired

For those asking:

Both fortunately (shows the flexibility) and unfortunately (because of fragmentation in support), USB Type-C chargers are all over the place at this point in time. It'll probably be another 2 years before all of these standards begin to align with one another into common implementations of the standards. Until then, we have a bit of a mess. So your questions are being rightfully asked both because it's confusing and because it's good to know!

Here's some info. Hopefully this helps somebody! And if there's anything incorrect in this, please somebody correct me! :-)

There are four primary types of USB Type-C Charging (I'm using my words here, not necessarily technical words):
1. Traditional USB Power
2. USB Type-C Fast Charging (some phones take advantage of this as an alternative to Qualcomm's Quick Charge technology). Often, this just means bumping up over the 2.4A standard of "Traditional USB Power" going up to 3.0A (but still at 5V).
3. USB Type-C bastardizations such as Qualcomm's Quick Charge, OnePlus Dash Charge, and more. Most of these actually violate the USB Type-C specifications but I'm unaware of an instance where it has caused damage. So the verdict is still out on whether this will be a problem long-term.
4. USB Type-C Power Delivery (also referred to as "PD"). Power Delivery is the standard used to provide power to high demand devices. All of the items listed above are primarily for phones and tablets. PD is more for laptops, monitors, and other more powerful devices.

*More about Power Delivery:*
While the other options peak at around 10-20 watts, PD *can* support 100W. However, there's no guarantee that any single PD charger *will* support 100W. Some stop at 25W. Some at 45W. It varies. But to make it even more confusing, PD is implemented both by increasing the current as well as the voltage. The device that is being charged negotiates with the power source to determine a set of currents/voltages that both devices are compatible with. So this might be 9v at 2A. Or 20v at 2A. Or some other pairings.

*So all high-powered charging is PD? Is this charger PD?*
Okay, here is where my expertise fails. I'm not sure. I don't know if PD is the entire spec of negotiating and adjusting voltages and current or if it is a specific set for negotiating those things that allows for other "alternative mode" options to negotiate these in other ways. So in the end, at this point, I'm unable to answer these questions. I just don't know. Sorry.

*Okay, this sounds awfully confusing!*
Yup. Unfortunately, it is. There is no perfect charging device that I'm aware of yet.

*So what's special about this charger then?*
Well, $20 is cheap for anything that goes over ~20W with USB Type-C. Sometimes you can get some 25W PD chargers for cheap but 45W chargers usually run ~$30. So $20 is good if it's a quality charger.

Switch?

I can confirm that this does not work with a Dell Inspiron 13
