HP Victus 15 charger
Replacement 150W Barrel (HP Smart Pin) adapter — verified compatible.
Matched from manufacturer specs.
This charger supplies 150W over Barrel (HP Smart Pin). To find what your laptop needs, read the OUTPUT line on your current charger — the volts × amps is the wattage (e.g. 20V × 3.25A = 65W) — or check the label on the underside of your laptop. The same connector at an equal-or-higher wattage is safe.
Note: Gaming - uses the HP 4.5mm blue-tip barrel at 150W; some higher-spec units use 200W. Confirm the wattage on your adapter.

- ✓Connector: 4.5mm x 3.0mm, blue tip, centre pin
Why this charger is safe
- ✓Higher wattage is generally safeExample: a 90W HP Smart adapter safely powers a 65W HP laptop. A 65W USB-C PD charger safely powers a 45W USB-C laptop.
- ✓Lower wattage is not safe for full performanceMost relevant for XPS 15/17 (130W) and Spectre x360 15/16 (135W) where a 65W charger is insufficient.
- ✓Barrel tip size must match exactlyA 7.4mm plug will not fit a 4.5mm jack and vice-versa. Dell and HP barrel tips are NOT interchangeable even at the same diameter (different pin/signalling).
- ✓HP Smart Pin and Dell barrels are brand-specificHP Smart adapters carry a centre 'sense' pin used for wattage negotiation; Dell uses its own 1-wire ID. Mismatched brand can cause 'AC adapter not recognised' and refusal to fast-charge.
