Lenovo ThinkPad W500 Power Adapter
Because Lenovo uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, be certain you select the correct one for the ThinkPad W500 model. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on the output of amps and voltage. When choosing a new charger, selecting the Lenovo OEM charger is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. A universal power adapter is a possibility but only if necessary. The Lenovo ThinkPad W500 AC adapter is responsible for two things, charging the battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop.
Warnings to watch for in a failing 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 run without the battery installed
- Battery does not charge all the time
