I would recommend a Dell 130W Watt PA-13 PA-4E, X408G, D232H, 330-1829, 330-1830, JU012

PA-10 90W adapters will work but they get really Hot.

Hi syedtouseef,

Good day and welcome to the community!

Thanks for reaching out to us. You can check on the label noted on the AC adapter to what is the exact wattage of the system. Or you can give me the model of the system to check on that information. Glad to assist.

Thanks and Regards,

@DELL-ANDREW F : :  How come we can use a 130 watt AC adapter to Dell N5010 laptop when the recommended adapter is of 95 Watt. Wouldn't it damage the Laptop when used with a 130 wattage adapter !.

If there were a 1000W power adapter available you could even use that one.The wattage just means that the adapter is capable of delivering up to 130W if necessary.So if the laptop only needs 90W you would have 40W left to power additional stuff (docking station etc...)

The same is more or less true for laptop batteries - you can get low capacity(similar to wattage) one or a more powerful battery which can store more energy and gives your laptop a longer running time.

Important is that the voltage of the power adapter doesn't exceed 19V because this would indeed harm your laptop.As long as you buy Dell compatible adapters you don't have to worry about this.
