I have a laptop, and my adapter doesn't work.
My laptop needs a 90W adapter. My friend has a 65W adapter of the same
brand (it's a dell). Is it okay to charge your battery with another
type of charger without turning the computer on?!

Thanks!



So long as the voltage is within 10% or so and the polarity is the same,
it should work fine. Do keep an eye on the temperature of the adapter to
make sure it isn't getting too hot though.
