Dell Inspiron 5521 Power Adapter
Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one. When purchasing a replacement adapter, the actual Dell brand is the best one to choose. The Dell Inspiron 5521 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter is another possibility if you are desperate. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, please check on both the volts and amps outputs.
What are the signs that the Dell power adapter is almost dead?
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge completely
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not work without the battery installed
