Hi all,

I have a question. In my brain it should work, but idk if the cables would handle it. We have 2 phones with an inconvenient place for power outlet, that's why we use laptop chargers.
We both have 65W charging phones. My idea is a 130W Dell usb-c laptop charger with a splitter on the end to charge both phones. Would this work?

Thanks in advance!

Probably not, 130W over type-c is going to be 20V. You would have to make sure your phones accept a 20V input, even then the negotiation may fail and it would stick to 5V 1A charging. Depends on how fast you want them charged I suppose.
