Hey X1C fans,
had anyone such strange battery charge behavior? As you can see in the screenshot, charge rate is very low.
My X1 Carbon Gen8 (20U9) loads the battery only very very slowly, happens on both USB-C ports.
The charger works fine on another 20U9 device. The BIOS was updated to the latest version recently, no change.
The net knows a lot about charging problems with Gen7 and Gen9 but nothing about Gen8.

Is that battery just dying?

Maybe @zhenech or @thinkpadmuseum?

@eht16 @zhenech Strange behavior. Never heard of such problems but Iā€™m also not a X1C owner. Did you try asking on thinkpads.com or thinkpad-forum.de?

@eht16 @thinkpadmuseum do you happen to have one of those USB-C power sniffers to see if it really negotiates 65W USB PD?

@eht16 @zhenech @thinkpadmuseum My X1C (5th Gen) once had a dead battery, it's first. It was then about 5 years old and had about 500 charging cycles. Oops. šŸ«£šŸ˜…
I immediately ordered a new one and replaced it a few days later.
