Compaq Presario XL181 Power Adapter
The Compaq Presario XL181 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. Due to the fact that one Compaq adapter is probably used on other similar units, be certain you select the correct one for the Presario XL181 model. When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Compaq OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. If buying off-brand, please check on both the voltage and amperage output.
Do you know if your AC adapter has gone bad?
- The laptop does not operate using just the AC power adapter
- Most Compaq adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge whatsoever

Compaq Presario XL181 power adapter should be purchased in brand new condition due to possible wear on an older one. It is always best to re-check the part number so that you correctly order the right power adapter.
