Welcome to the Dell Community  @Dell 7577 

Yes you can use the 19.5V, 9.23A  "180 Watt" adapter with no problems.

Volts x Amps = Watts

I use a 19.5V, 12.3A "240 Watt" adapter on my bench for testing all Dell laptops.

Since it is a "SMART" AC adapter the computer will draw only what current it needs.

You can go higher but never go lower.

Best regards,

@Dell 7577 

It should have a center pin like this.

Then it is a "SMART" AC adapter.

Thank U2 for your response my concern . Actually, I want to use the 19.5V, 12.3A instead of the 19.5V, 9.3A . Voltage is similar but higher amperage . Moreover, how can i know that my new adapter is "smart"
