Dell PPX Power Adapter
When choosing a new AC adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice. The Dell PPX AC adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If buying off-brand, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the PPX model. A universal AC adapter can be used if you absolutely need to.
What red flags are there that my charger is in need of replacing?
- The unit will not work while just using AC power
- Most Dell adapters will get warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge every time
