Each AC/DC power adapter is specifically designed to accept a certain AC input (usually the standard output from a 120 V AC outlet in your home) and convert it to a particular DC output. Likewise, each electronic device is specifically designed to accept a certain DC input. The key is to match the DC output of the adapter to the DC input of your de...
If the manufacturer was smart enough (or compelled by law) to include the DC output on the label, you are in luck. Look at the “brick” part of the adapter for the word OUTPUT. Here, you’ll see the volts followed by the direct current symbol and the current. The DC symbol looks like this: To check the polarity, look for a + or – sign next to the vol...
Ideally, you’ll have the same voltage, current, and polarity on your adapter and device. But what if you accidentally (or purposefully) use the wrong adapter? In some cases, the plug won’t fit. But there are many instances where an incompatible power adapter will plug into your device. Here’s what you can expect in each scenario: 1. The wrong polar...
Wall adapters that give you a USB port for charging aren’t nearly as tricky. Standard USB devices have a 5 V DC voltage and a current of up to .5 A or 500 mA for charging only. This is what allows them to play nice with the USB ports on your computer. Most USB wall adapters will be 5 V adapters and have a current rating well over .5 A. The iPhone U...

If you have a charger that can supply 5v 3a and 9v 2a and a phone that can only charge at 5v and only draws 0.5a, the charger won’t supply more than 5v 0.5a. There is some truth to what you said, and I’ll give you credit for that.

I think you should be fine to use it with the 90W charger, and if you leave it plugged in while the computer is off/in sleep it should also be able to charge the battery (though slower than the 230W brick does).
Apr 23, 2021 · Use the Correct Charger: It's generally advisable to use the charger that matches the wattage and specifications recommended for your laptop. In your case, using a 90W charger instead of the original 65W charger should not cause any issues and may provide more efficient charging. Battery Calibration:
