Dell P17F Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. Because Dell uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be sure you choose the right one. The Dell P17F power adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice.
Indications of a poorly performing charger
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge up whatsoever
- The unit will not run without the battery installed
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
