I thought I'd start a thread for known / working power supply setups. I chose the USB C route and per the docs went with a PD3.0 61W capable unit that is UL certified and a USB-IF certified cable, both from Amazon, total cost was $42. Charge / PSU - $29.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLR7T1M Cable - $11.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0718Z1MWF Everything is working excellent!

I went with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FN3MBCR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and so far so good.

The HP Pavilion 65W power supply works well - not expensive either - this one from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-...OP-CHARGER-65W-19-5V-AC-ADAPTER/362562422808? is £10 including postage in the UK. I prefer this type as it does not take a USB C port.
Verified working 26800mAh (96.5 Wh) USB-C PD 60W power bank can supply up to 20V 3A. Search ebay 26800mAh PD 60W Type-C power bank Price is around $38 to $42 shipped. It can be charged thru USB-C (using the same USB-C port thus cannot be used as simultaneous charge-n-powering at the same time) at max of 30W. Mfg/model: Floureon C908-PD P.S. it weights around 630 grams (heavy)
@chrisr, thanks for pointing that. HP power supplies are really solid and this is a good price for one; I'll look into it.
Ordered this chinese adaptor as backup for other laptops. Has a lot of interchangeable connectors. Works just fine wit Bolt. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/19V...577.html?spm=2114.13010708.0.0.3a994c4dBfhuvx
I found that this power supply from Monoprice works quite well. Having the extra USB ports for charging other devices is a bonus. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24425 It goes on sale occasionally for $20-22, but even at $25 it's a pretty good charger. Note that it doesn't come with a USB-C cable. This charger from Nektek on Amazon is the same charger, but includes a 3ft USB-C cable. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24425 For $30 and fast shipping for Prime members, it's a good deal if you need it quickly. I own both charges and they are identical other than the brand printed on them and the color of the USB-A ports (Monoprice ports have a red tab inside). I've been using them for months without issues. I keep one in my bag when I travel. The USB-C port provides enough power to charge my Latitude 7880, my Google Pixelbook, or my Galaxy S9+. Now it can also power my Bolt once I have a case to carry it around in. I can also confirm that the HP Pavilion adapter mentioned above works fine. I used the one from my wife's laptop and it worked without issue. I pre-ordered a Zendure SuperTank and will report back once I receive it and test. I don't expect any issues though. https://zendure.com/products/supertank-black
I can confirm that the Apple 61W USB-C power supply works fine. You'd need to get a reliable USB-C to USB-C cable for power delivery.
I purchased: KFD 65W-45W AC DC Adapter With 3 Tips 5.5x2.5 4.0x1.35 4.5x3.0 It works. The cost was roughly $25. I like the length of the cords. It has a power light on the brick and on the plug that goes into the computer. I also like that the specs are easy to read. I don't need reading glasses to see them.
I had been leaving my Bolt on 24x7, but it shutdown on me twice. Both times that it shutdown on me when not in use. Sitting idle that is. It think it would run for about 36hrs or so before shutting down. @ccs_hello pointed out that the power supply has a thermal shutdown. I now think this might be the cause of my shutdown issue. So, don't buy this yet. I hope to update in a week or so.
I purchased "Universal laptop adapter 45W-65W-90W - Asus - Acer-HP - Dell - Lenovo - Samsung - Sony - Zedar" from a make called Zedra. Works fine, but I am not leaving my Bolt running 24/7 at the moment.
