Use the P-to-P 2.0 charging function

The USB-C connector on the computer features the Lenovo-unique P-to-P 2.0 charging function. When no ac power is available, this feature enables one computer to supply power to another computer through a USB-C to USB-C cable. When ac power is available for only one computer, this feature enables both computers to get charged by ac power.

Before using the function, ensure that:

• The selected connectors support the P-to-P 2.0 charging function and power delivery function.

• Always On USB and Charge in Battery Mode are enabled in UEFI BIOS of both computers, so that the function works even when the computers are off or in hibernation mode. To enable Always On USB and Charge in Battery Mode:

1. Enter the UEFI BIOS menu. See “Enter the UEFI BIOS menu” on page 23.

2. Click Config ➙ USB to enable Always On USB and Charge in Battery Mode.

To use the function:

• When no ac power is available:

The remaining battery power of computer A should be at least 30% and be 3% higher than that of computer B. Connect the computers to each other with a USB-C to USB-C cable. In this situation, computer A works as the power supply. Once the remaining battery power of computer A is lower than 30%, computer A stops supplying power to computer B.

• When ac power is available:

Connect the computers to each other with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Connect one computer to ac power. In this situation, ac power works as the power supply and both computers get charged.
