!±8± How to Use One AC Adapter If You Have Multiple Laptop Models

If you have different laptops-of different models that too-it could become quite cumbersome to keep track of all their various peripherals such as their AC adapters. It can become quite a difficult task to lug them around all the time as well. So, wouldn't it be simpler if you could use one AC adapter for all your different laptops? It could save a lot of time and effort and make things convenient for you as well.

So, how do you go about doing it? For that, you will need a special device known as a universal AC adapter. Also known as the universal laptop charger, this is just what its name suggests. It is a laptop charger that can connect to any laptop, no matter what brand or model. It looks and works quite similarly to your usual laptop charger. It connects to a wall AC unit and to the point on your laptop quite similarly. It also has a block and a cable just like usual AC adapters. To put them into operation, all you have to do is to switch them on through the wall unit.

People use universal AC adapters for several purposes. Like you, they might have several laptops (think about those people who use notebooks for their businesses) and they might want a single AC adapter to do the task of keeping all of them charged. People also use them when they are traveling. These universal laptop chargers are built with convenient portable designs for that purpose. It is also possible to connect these chargers into car sockets and charge laptops through that source.

There are various features you need to look for when you are thinking of buying universal laptop AC chargers. One of them is the adjustable output voltage which helps you to customize them for the needs of your laptop. You need to have voltages within a range of 15 V to 24 V which is the range of most laptops anyway. Check out for their wattage-should be around 80 W-and their amperage, which should be around 3.3 A. This makes them most suitable even if you are planning to travel overseas with them.

Other things that you need to see are that they should have an overload protection (such as an inbuilt trip switch), LED indicators, output stabilizer and a regulator for DC. Though universal laptop chargers are built for almost all laptops, it is still a good idea to specifically check if it will work for your laptop models.
