Lenovo ThinkPad R61i Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement AC adapter, selecting the Lenovo OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Lenovo ThinkPad R61i AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. Because Lenovo has been known to use a single AC adapter that is probably used on other similar units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one. A universal power adapter can be used but only if necessary. If you decide to buy an non-Lenovo adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs.
Subtle cues of a worsening Lenovo power adapter
- The majority of Lenovo power chargers can get quite warm when plugged in for any length of time
- The unit will not function without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge up completely
