Dell PP12L Power Adapter
Because Dell has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. The Dell PP12L power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal power adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice.
Simple warnings that your AC adapter has gone bad?
- The unit will not run while just using AC power
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge all the time
- Most Dell adapters can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
