Compaq Presario XL183 Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, the actual Compaq brand is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. Because Compaq has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one. If buying off-brand, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. The Compaq Presario XL183 AC adapter has two main uses, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
Warnings of a weak power adapter
- The unit will not function while just using AC power
- Most Compaq adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge completely
