Wall adapters simple enough, you plug one end into the wall and the other end into your mobile tech device. What some may fail to consider are all the other options which may help save energy, time and space. When considering a wall adapter, you need to know what type of voltage your device needs: AC or DC. You should also look for a recommended charging current listed on the device you are powering. From there, decide whether you want regulated or unregulated, and linear or switching.

Basic terms of how to choose the right laptop power supply

Finally, take a look at your device’s plug socket and match it with the supply’s DC output connector. The most common types of connectors are 2.1mm inner diameter x 5.5mm outer diameter female, 2.5mm inner diameter x 5.5mm outer diameter female, 3.5mm male, and even screw terminal connections.

If your device uses a plug connector, you can find out what size plug your device needs by using some calipers and measuring the inside diameter as well the outside diameter. Traditional rulers can also be used, but keep in mind that they usually aren’t very accurate and may not measure in millimeters, which is the industry standard.

Finding a wall adapter that provides enough current to your device is critical for efficient charging. Your device will draw the appropriate amount of current from the adapter, but if the Dell HA65NS5-00 ac adapter cannot provide enough current, the device will take longer to fully charge. Be sure to choose an power adapter that is able to supply the amount of current listed on your device.Typical Symbols and Information on Wall Adapters Adapter shown
