SCreenshot showing battery tooltip with the charger disconnected

I was too hasty - last week it appeared to be working well, so I put the "lid
close on AC" action back to "blank screen" (I think the default), and this
morning when I closed the laptop to go to the office, it did not sleep and
overheated in the bag.

Here's a screenshot of  the battery tooltip with the charger *disconnected* -
it does say "plugged in but still discharging" but also "the power supply is
not powerful enough to charge this battery" - which makes me think that it may
be related to the fact that at home (unlike what I have in currently in the
office) I use a 60W charger, which the Dell complains is not powerful enough to
charge the battery (in the BIOS after reboot), while in effect it works well
enough (I don't use the builtin Nvidia GPU almost at all). The Laptop comes
with a 130W adapter.

I don't actually know what the battery tooltip says when its connected to my
60W dock at home - but checking a 90W charger and even a 65W one I scrounged
from office colleagues, it does not complain about "not powerful enough". I
will check if I get this notice with the 60W dock when I get home later.
