Welcome to the Dell Community @Mess82
Remove battery and locate label with the laptop power requirements.
It will look like 19.5V ~ ???A
Volts x Amps = Watts
Your AC adapter is 19.5V x 16.9A = 329.55W (330W)
Since you have a SMART power system your AC can always be larger than what the system requires.
Best regards,

If that's the actual battery, it's nowhere near "new" -- it was made in 2014, making it about the same age as the system, or 7 years old.
If it was sold to you as "new", I'd return it to the seller for a refund -- it isn't.
