I had the exact same issue with my SB3. Would trip immediately. Surface Book 1 would work fine.

They'll work up to 99 Watts in my experience, some will crap out at 75.

What I did was carry a lower wattage charger. It won't charge the SB but it would run the machine without chewing through battery.
