Dell Inspiron 17R-5720 Power Adapter
If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. The Dell Inspiron 17R-5720 AC adapter provides two functions, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. Because Dell uses one power charger that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. When choosing a new adapter, choosing the Dell brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal AC adapter can be used if you are desperate.
Clues to watch for to know the power charger has very little life left
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge every time
- Most Dell adapters get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not function without the battery installed
