Re: Laptop AC Adapter and Laptop Battery Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



While a little more expensive you can buy a "Universal" Notebook
AC-to-DC adapter at Radio Shack. I use one for notebook repair
where the power brick is missing or defective. The output voltage
is selectable and comes with an assortment of plugs. It is important
that you orient the +/- terminals correctly. Usually, a notebook will
have a label on the bottom that has power information. Also if you
have a Batteries+ store in your area they usually have a large choice
of AC power units for notebooks. The Radio Shack unit is a lot
more expensive than a OEM replacement - running around ~$90.

The AC adapter to a HP zd8000 laptop is broken and needs to be replaced.
HP
however nolonger sells the AC adapter but sells a number of other AC
adapters
for the zd8000. My question is, would it be okay to use one of these
other AC
adapters with the current laptop battery? i.e. Does the AC Adapter need
to
match the laptop battery it's connected to.
