do laptop chargers "sense" and adjust their output somehow?? meaning I

All help appreciated

All the "chargers" I've seen are just switch mode power supplies.
Indeed, the generic replacements (rather than branded) ones make very
good power supplies for other uses. Shouldn't cost mor ethan £20 for a
new one.

The charging intelligence is in the laptop and/or battery.
