Got someone at work asking me if I can help them with a laptop charger.
Upon inspection, her one is busted (exposed cables and such), and is an Acer laptop.
I know I have an acer laptop at home that isn't used anymore, and offered to check the charger first before we go buy something online.
I know the pin size is the same, but requirements are not.
Her laptop's charger:
Power Provided 65 Watts
Input Voltage 100V - 240V
Output Voltage 19.0V
Output Current 3.42A
My charger I intend to give her
Power Provided 90 Watts
Input Voltage AC100V-240V
Output Voltage DC19V
Output Current 4.74A
Judging by the specs, my charger has a superior Watt and output rating. I was wondering if this was OK to use? I don't want to accidentally set her laptop on fire... or worst
I was reading around and can't find a concrete answer, and was getting progressively paranoid about people saying it'll heat up/explode/kill laptop.
I'm assuming the laptop will only draw as much as it needs, rather than the charger overpumping the laptop and eventually killing it?
