[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1915544, member: 56379"] Thanks for the image. Text was a bit small...but I think it said you have an 86 watt charger...which sounds correct. I believe your 2016 15" MacBook Pro Power Adapter connects via one of the 4 Thunderbolt ports. My 2017 15" MacBook Pro power connects the same way. I do notice that sometimes the power cable can wiggle itself out a teeny bit sometimes...which can prevent proper battery charging while plugged in. I would say double check that all cable connections are inserted really well (nothing loose)...both at the computer end & the power adapter end. When your MacBook Pro is plugged in...are you seeing this in the top right corner of the menu bar area (battery charging indicator with the lightning bolt) : [ATTACH type="full"]36688[/ATTACH] If not...could have a connection issue.
