Laptop charging

BiotechBen · January 18, 2022

Hey guys, so I was wondering if I would be able to charge my HP laptop (Pavilion 15 original charger is 45W)

With a type c (female) to barrel (male)adapter and a Nintendo switch charger (39W max output)?

I wouldn't, it may work, but using miss matched chargers and adapters with electronics can be bad. You can fry the board or DC Jack. You could cause issues with the battery. Honestly if you need a charger just order a new one from Amazon or Ebay, you can get them for below $30.

That's what I figured, have an OEM arriving tomorrow. Sucks that HP prioritizes type c charging to only the higher end devices. I'd pay an extra $10 to be able to have that.
