Why Does My Mac Not Turn On When Plugged Into The TBT200?

When my Mac’s battery is completely empty, it does not turn on immediately after connecting the TBT200. Why?

If your Mac’s battery has completely run out of power, your Mac will charge the battery to a certain level before it can power on. This is to protect your Mac’s battery from damage.

Leave your computer connected to the dock for a few minutes, then try turning the computer on again.
