\nLaptops are portable devices with their own power supply<\/strong><\/em> \nin the form of a rechargeable battery. These batteries only last for so \nlong before they need to be recharged. Laptops use power adapters that \nplug into wall outlets for this purpose. Hundreds of different brands of\n laptops exist on the market and each one uses its own type and model of\n adapter. Most manufacturers will provide accessories and parts for \ntheir laptops on their retail websites. Other places to find laptop \nadapters include electronics retail stores, and discount computer \nhardware wholesalers. It’s also possible to find adapters and cables on \nonline sites like, oriccabattery.co.uk<\/a>.\n When it’s time to replace an old adapter with a new one, research is \nrequired to find the right kind of adapter. When looking for laptop adapters<\/strong><\/em>, owners need to check the model number and the voltage and amperage requirements of their laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThis information is used to look for a compatible laptop adapter online<\/a>.\n The voltage of an adapter needs to match the required voltage of the \nlaptop. However, the amperage of an adapter can meet or exceed the \nrequired amperage. Laptop owners also need to get an adapter with the \nright connector type. The cylindrical connector tips are the most \ncommonly used type for a laptop device. Another option is to look for a \nuniversal power adapter, which can adapt its power settings to the \nlaptop and comes with multiple connector tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAbout Voltage
\nVoltage is what pulls electrical energy into the laptop. It’s kind of \nlike the wheels on a paddleboat, which turn and push the paddleboat \nacross the water. In this case, the paddleboat is actually a bunch of \nelectrons. If the voltage of the laptop is different from that provided \nby the adapter, it won’t be able to create the correct charge needed to \npull the electrical energy into the laptop. Finding the right voltage \nfor a laptop adapter is also important to keeping the power from \nshorting out the laptop. A voltage that’s too high will overload the \nlaptop’s circuits. Owners will end up needing to buy more than just a \nnew adapter at that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nAbout Amperage
\n Amperage, also known as current, is what gives the laptop enough power\n to run. It is the amount of electrical energy that flows into the \nlaptop at any single moment. Laptops need the right amount of consistent\n energy flow to power all the circuits within the device. Usually, \nvoltage is a measure of how much potential energy the laptop can use. \nThe amperage on laptop power adapters needs to match or exceed the \namperage required by the laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nConnector Types
\n When looking for a replacement laptop adapter, check that the \nconnector is going to fit the laptop’s power port. All laptops use DC \npower connectors, but not all connectors are going to be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laptop Connector Types<\/th>Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Cylindrical Connectors

<\/td>		Known as barrel connectors, sleeve connectors, tip connectors,\n and coaxial power connectors; they are an insulated, hollow cylinder \nthat connects to the laptop power port

<\/td><\/tr>
Snap and Lock Connector

<\/td>		Also known as Kycon 3-pin and 4-pin DC power plugs; this connector has three or four pins surrounded by a thin, metal cylinder

<\/td><\/tr>
Molex Connector

<\/td>		Often used on personal computers to supply power; several \ninsulated electrical wires are encased by a flat, plastic rectangular \ncase with 3, 4, or 6 terminals

<\/td><\/tr>
USB connector

<\/td>		Consists of a hollow, rectangular metal tip, inside of which are two or more flat metal pins

<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

\nSome name brand companies will have their own specialized connector tips\n for their laptop adapters. This can make the search for an affordable \nadapter more difficult, but not impossible. The cylindrical connector is\n the most common type of connector used in laptops. Laptops and \nelectronic devices may also commonly use USB plugs for their power \nports. Several types of USB connectors are in use including, Type A, \nType B, Mini A, Mini B, Micro A, and Micro B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nConclusion
\nLaptops are mobile devices, but they require power cords and adapters to\n charge their batteries. There are two main types of laptop adapters: AC\n and DC power adapters. Each one converts the electrical energy from a \npower source to a form that can power the laptop. These adapters need to\n supply the right voltage, connector type, and amperage. This is \nimportant to ensure that the laptop charges properly. There are several \ndifferent types of connectors and only one type will work for any single\n laptop. If the laptop owner can’t find the proper style and model of \nadapter on eBay, he or she can set the save a search feature to notify \nvia email when a matching adapter is listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
