Laptop charger: Can I use the charger of another laptop?

One of the most frequently asked questions is:

•                   Can I use another laptop\'s charger to charge my own laptop?

•                   What are the possible counter indications?

One of the most frequently asked questions by readers is whether or not it is possible to replace the charger of your laptop with another portable’s charger.

Is it possible? And if so, under what circumstances?

Let\'s say that using the charger of another device to power your laptop is not as common as it is with smartphones (which also use the USB interface to charge the battery). For laptops, there is no standard portable charger and it is always recommended to use the charger provided by the manufacturer. The connectors used to connect the charger to the laptop are not the same.Sometimes it is thenphysically impossible to use a charger from one manufacturer with a laptop computer marketed by another company.

Fortunately, it is gradually changing as more and more laptops and 2-in-1 convertibles use the USB Type-C connector: USB Type-C: What are the connector specifications?

The specifications of each power supply are printed on it (the nameplate) and are expressed in volts (V), amps (A) and watts (W). A portable charger with the same specification as that of another shouldn\'t be a problem on paper. But in practice however one manufacturer\'s charger may not work with another\'s laptop. Because chargers are now smart enough to recognize the laptops they're connected to: they charge the battery of laptops from the same manufacturer.

Generally speaking, with a laptop that does not charge via USB-C, it is always better to use the original portable charger. It is only in case of necessity should you try to use a charger from another brand provided that you choose the one with the same connector and the same voltage. The charger should meet the manufacturer\'s voltage requirements and only exceed the charge limit slightly. Charging devices with higher voltages can burn the battery, and their use can have very unpleasant consequences in terms of safety. The amperage value can be higher or lower: it is about the potential quantity of electric current which can be delivered; if it is lower than that of the original charger, it will take more time to charge the battery. The charging device must not have any problem because (especially if it is made of poor quality components) even a severe overheating might occur.
