There is a trend people replacing their original laptop Power Adapter (Charger) with Universal Power Adapters .These universal adapters come with different tips or you buy the tips separate. Some also can charge the laptop from a car, boat or other 12V DC power point. While not all of these universal adapters are OK, they can cause problems too. Let’s look at some of the issues created by Universal Laptop Chargers
Tips
Universal chargers can come with many tips or can purchase individual tips. This is fine, but tips are small (size of quarter or smaller) and can easily get lost. Tips can be put on the wrong place and causes improper voltage that can damage the laptop. Sometimes the tips are extra and not included with purchase. Sometimes they are just incorrect and the loose fit actually causes more problems.
Fit
Sometimes they just don’t fit right.Some adapter works well with many models,but not certain model.
The universals can only include so many different tips and some times a tip may work at one angle and not at another. It’s better to get the original power adapter.
Voltage and Amperage
Universal Chargers have a range of voltage and amps. Most of them have sensing units built it to detect the correct draw from the laptop. Normally this is fine and works. However in some cases, the charging circuit in the laptop will actually become burnt out due to this swing in voltage. Some laptops just plain won’t work with Universal Chargers due to the voltage regulator in the laptop. Some laptops need currect voltage and a universal does not provide.
Univesal chargers are OK if you are using them for temporary.For long term use,we recommed original adapter. You can get the adapter for your laptop here→
