Why the notebook power adapter can not be universal
Third, the current is different
Different brands of laptop power adapter current is not the same, for example: under normal circumstances IBM is 4.5A, Dell is 3.34A, Hp is 2.7A, Sony is 4.1A and so on.
In fact, the same brand of laptop power adapter voltage and current are not the same. So, even if the same brand of notebook computers channeling with power adapter to confirm the voltage and current specifications.
Second, the voltage is different
Different brands of laptop power adapter voltage is not the same, for example: under normal circumstances IBM is 16V, Dell is 20V, Hp is 18.5V, Sony is 19.5V and so on. Thus, even if the power adapter interface is the same, can not use different brands of laptop power adapter for power supply.
First, the interface is different
Most laptop power adapter brands have different interfaces, which means that other brands of power adapters can not be plugged into your laptop for power supply. The interface is relatively safe, because at least you will not plug in the current or voltage does not meet the power adapter to the laptop power supply, which led to computer hardware damage.
