Yes, but with limitations. The laptop has Thunderbolt 5 ports (some configs list Thunderbolt 4/USB4) that support Power Delivery (PD) up to 100W. You can charge it with a good 100W+ USB-C charger (GaN brick recommended). It works well for: Light use (web, Office, browsing) Charging while the laptop is off or in sleep Travel / lighter days Important limitations: The stock barrel charger (230W or 330W depending on GPU config) is still required for full performance under heavy load (gaming, video export, etc.). USB-C charging alone will throttle the CPU/GPU when power draw exceeds ~100W. Practical tip: A high-quality 140W or 240W USB-C charger (with proper 5A cable) works great as a secondary/travel charger, but keep the original brick for serious sessions.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16S-71-91AW) can charge via its USB-C port. You need a USB-C charger and cable that specifically support Power Delivery (PD) and deliver high wattage, ideally 100W, for it to work effectively and charge the battery while in use.
