Before you buy

Can I use a higher-watt charger?+

Yes — as long as the connector is the same (HP Smart Pin (4.5mm barrel)), a higher-wattage charger is completely safe. Your laptop only draws the power it needs, so a 200W or higher charger will charge it normally (often a little faster).

Can I use a lower-watt charger?+

Not recommended. Below 200W the charger may charge very slowly, only charge while the laptop is off, or fail to keep up under load — and the battery can still drain during heavy use. Stick to 200W or higher.

Will this damage my laptop?+

No. This charger delivers the exact 19.5V voltage your laptop expects, through the correct HP Smart Pin (4.5mm barrel) connector. A matched connector, voltage and wattage cannot damage your laptop.

Can I use USB-C instead?+

No — this HP laptop uses a HP Smart Pin (4.5mm barrel) barrel connector and has no USB-C charging port, so a USB-C charger won't physically connect. Use the barrel charger shown above.

Which charger does the HP Victus 16 use?

The HP Victus 16 (16-e / 16-d / 16-s / 16-r) charges with a 200W Barrel (HP Smart Pin) adapter. A charger with the same connector at an equal or higher wattage is safe — your laptop only draws the power it needs. Not sure what yours shipped with? Snap a photo of the label and we'll confirm it.
