BMAX y13 – USB-C not charging

[Daniel]

Btw, the seller on Aliexpress told me they will soon have a USB C hub that will manage to get the right voltage PD, will keep you updated on the brand and if it works

Thanks Daniel,

I get the blue-screen randomly and without any stress being placed on the laptop – i.e. just sitting there. Anyway, I’m in discussion with support but in the meantime, I’ve opted for a clean reset of the laptop. Shame because otherwise it’s a great little laptop with one of the best screens I’ve seen and great touch-sensitivity.

I’ll let this thread know if the reset cures it but I’m not holding my breath.

Charger needs to support PPS to charge our laptop and QC 4.0 is a safe bet.  I got a 30W charger for $9.99 from Amazon and it works.  It charges from 80% to 90% in 18 minutes.  Good enough.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FQKGB9D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good, I thought QC 3.0 would work as well, but can not confirm it. So what we now need still is a USB -C PD QC hub to go with 🙂

So is it official that you need PPS?

Anyone had any success without it?

Hi,i am going to order a bmax y13.

I read that it can be charged by PD chargers/powerbanks but not all of them.

Has anyone used those products with success?

Hi, i am very close to buy bmax y13(if the price doesnt drop maybe i will go for y11)

I am a bit confused about the usb type-c compatibility as even some PD chargers doesnt work.

I want to buy those accessories, has anyone tried any of those or does anyone know a reason that they might not wotk on Bmax?

i tried dell laptop usb c charger on my bmax y13, didnt work 🙁 . the LED blinks a few times then nothing.

[sandro]

pandapanda was it a PD charger?

[Lorenzo]

I also wanted to buy a powerbank for my Y13 but I am very confused. What are the features I need to look at?
Can you tell me which powerbanks work on amazon.it?
Thanks in advance to those who will help me.

[Mike]

So far I’ve only tried this cheap USB-C charger and it charges @11.4W, the same rate as the original charger. If someone has succeded in charging is faster, I’d sure like to know exactly how fast is possible.

Mike, what charger did you try?

[Lorenzo]

I bought a IMUTO power bank (Mod. SL200PD) 20000mAh and 42W output, usb-c have 12V 2.5A.
Paid around 35 euros.
Works very well.

It’s probably the USB PD 2.0 support that makes it work. Do you use a specific cable?

[WUNDERHE]

Does anyone use an active pen with the Y13? I bought the BMAX PEN for the Y11 – but unfortunately it does not worg with the Y13…
