Dell Vostro A860 Power Adapter
The Dell Vostro A860 power adapter provides two functions, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. Because Dell uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. When choosing a new adapter, selecting the Dell OEM charger is usually going to be the safest choice.
Indications of a weakening power adapter
- The majority of Dell power chargers will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge completely
- The unit will not operate without the battery installed
