If you don't know which tip fits your laptop

Round barrel type DC connectorThis solution is Ideal for clone laptops like which are imported from Taiwan and rebadged by companies like Advent (PC World), AJP, Evesham, E-machines, Elonex, Hi-grade, iFriend, Rock and many others or for laptops where the size on the DC power plug is difficult to determine. With this method you just need to use our Car adapter selector which will give you the "best fit" option with the correct voltage and suitable current output, then basically one of the tips in the tip packs supplied should fit your laptop, if it does not we will give you your money back.

IMPORTANT : Your laptops DC power plug must be round (male or female type) like the example above here. If your laptops DC power plug has two or more pins in the center or is any other shape than the round barrel type shown here then these comprehensive car adapters & tip packs will NOT work with your laptop. Please refer to the tip list here to see any of those may fit your laptop or call our sales office on 01255 422033.

Let our system select the correct car adapter & tip pack

You can use our car adapter selector/calculator the tell you the correct combination of car adapter and tip pack, all we need to do this is enter the DC input voltage and the current in to the calculator here below.

To find out the voltage & current, turn your laptop over and look for a label, sticker or writing which shows the voltage and current, it should look something like the examples below. The voltage figure will have a "V" after the number i.e 19V and the current will have a "A" i.e 3.15A, if the is no current rating please call our sales line on 01255 422033 for assistance. You can also find these shown in a similar fashion on the original AC adapter if you have it. In the examples below the voltage & current has been marked with a red ring.

Enter the voltage and current then click calculate for the wattage

Enter Voltage V
Enter Current A

Adapter Wattage Required =

PLEASE NOTE : If the wattage requirement for your laptop is lower than the 70W or 90W output of the adapter, it will not damage your laptop, your laptop will only take the amount of power it requires. I.E. If your laptop needs 45W, then either the 70W or 90W will work OK. If your laptop needs 80W then you will need the 90W one as the 70W one will not be powerful enough.
Only if you were to plug a 19V adapter into a 15V laptop would you run the risk of damage.
If in doubt please call on 01255 422033 or email us on our contacts page.
