You can use a higher-amperage charger on a laptop as long as it is the same voltage and has the same polarity and size of connector. Both the chargers you mention are 19v, so the voltage is correct. You’ll be able to see it if the connectors are different sized or different shaped, so that one’s easy enough.
Can I use a laptop charger with higher amperage than the original?
Yes, Your laptop has been designed to draw up to a certain amount of power when running at full power.This means that you can quite safely use a charger with a higher wattage (or amps) rating as the laptop will only ever draw the amount of power required at the time.
Do amps matter on laptop chargers?
Distinguished. Input amperage, power supplied to the charger from the utility company does not matter.
Can I use a charger with higher amperage than the original?
Yes, it is absolutely safe to charge a device with a charger that has more current capacity than needed. Since the voltage is held constant (5V), the only factor that determines current draw is the load (another term for resistance) the device places on the charger.
Can I use 19.5 V charger for 19V laptop?
The 19.5V vs 19V will not matter (it is a small enough difference); as long as the current rating on the charger is at least as much as the current rating printed on the laptop it will be fine. The chargers are “generic”; the same model is used for various laptops even with the OEM chargers.
What if I use higher amperage charger?
We recommend higher amperage to ensure cooler power supply and optimal charge time. If you get a charger with amperage less than your original power supply, you risk overheating your charger, burning it and in many case your device will stop functioning and/or charging.
Can I use 65W charger instead of 30w?
Yes you can but, it will charge at the same speed at which it charges with your out of the box charger at 30w and it will not damage or degrade your battery.
Will higher amperage damage electronics?
you can’t really damage a device with amps, as a device itself consumes amps it needs to power function(s) it performs, unless it is damaged already, in which case damage will be done to the power supply, unless the output of the power supply is protected.
Can I use 1000ma instead of 500ma?
If the device requests 500ma and the power supply can handle up to 1000ma, it’s fine. The device will only draw what it needs and no more. If the device demands more ma than the power supply can deliver, it will force the power supply to deliver it anyway thus frying the power supply.
Can I use a laptop charger with lower amperage?
Yes it is OK, you won’t hurt anything by using a lower amperage charger. However, some laptops may not let you charge using a lower amperage charger.
Can I use a 19.5 V charger on a 20v laptop?
Yes: technically it can be used, but you need a higher amount of power (watt). if the adapter is 19V 6A, it might start the PC but you will have strange side effects.
Can I use 500mA instead of 300mA?
Since 300mA is less than 500mA you should be fine. It will work, as long as the voltage is correct. The power adapter’s nominal power is 500mA so it will work at a lower cycle (60%) than its full power. It will work just fine.
Can I use 2A charger for 1.5 a device?
Can you use a 2A charger for a 1.5A device? – Quora. Yes, as long as you are not trying to charge a 1.5ah battery.. The supply will handle 2.0 amps and the device will only draw what it needs.
Can I use a 19.5 V charger on a 18.5 V laptop?
so, yes you can use.. It should work. is it worth the risk? your laptop’s charging/regulator circuit is obviously designed to expect 18.5V, not 19.5V.
Can I use a 20V charger on a 19V laptop?
Originally Answered: Will 20V 2A charger damage my laptop, which has 19V 3.42A rating? Yes, that one will over volt your motherboard and battery charging circuit.
Can I use 5V adapter for 9v?
No! It might work for few minutes, but eventually the voltage drop on the internal regulator will cause the circuit to overheat and burn.
Can I use a 90 watt charger on a 65 watt laptop?
Yes, you can use a 90 watt ac adapter, a.k.a power charger, for your 65 watt-compatible laptop. It will actually charge your battery faster.
Can I use 2A charger for 1A?
If you plug a 2A device into a 1A charger, you will only get 1A. The device will charge more slowly (1/2 speed roughly) but everything will be fine. see less It is perfectly safe to plug a device that draws 1A into the 2A port and vice versa. Amperes are a measure of current capacity.
Can I charge a low amp battery with high amp charger?
No problem, you can charge using a high amperage battery charger and it is recommended also.
Can I use 65W charger instead of 120W?
You can use a 120W power adapter just fine on a device that only needs 65W. As long as the following criteria are met. Voltage is the same, plug size is the same and plug polarity is the same. Then the only difference is it can provide more amps.
What happens if you use 65W charger instead of 45w?
It will charge the battery a bit faster but other than and the size of the brick you will see no difference. The laptop will only draw the current it needs while running. As long as it is the same voltage and connector type you can use a higher watt adapter.
