Compaq 1600-XL143 Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. The Compaq 1600-XL143 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal power adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is the best one to choose. Because Compaq uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model.
