Dell PP05XB Power Adapter
When choosing a new charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. If you decide to buy an non-Dell adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs. The Dell PP05XB power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. Because Dell uses one power charger that is probably used on other similar units, be sure you choose the right one.
Signs your AC adapter will not last the year
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The laptop does not work without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge completely
