Safety information

Higher-wattage compatibility

A USB-C Power Delivery charger at 45W safely powers any USB-C Power Delivery laptop rated 45W or below. A charger rated HIGHER than the original wattage is safe, provided connector type, polarity and (for barrel) tip size and voltage all match. The laptop draws only the current it needs.

Example: a 90W HP Smart adapter safely powers a 65W HP laptop. A 65W USB-C PD charger safely powers a 45W USB-C laptop.

Use a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger at or above the original wattage. For 100W+ delivery the USB-C cable must be 5A / 100W e-marked.
