Can i use 19.5V 4.62A charger for a 19V 2A laptop? [duplicate]

I have an old netbook that requires 19V and 2A charger. I found one charger of 19.5V and 4.62A in the garage. I connected it and it is working. Is it ok to use it like that or will it cause damage in the long term?


Solution 1:

Doesn't matter, it should work properly, there is also wire resistance and other stuff which will make the power balanced for laptop, also more amp doesn't mean it will force current into the laptop. It simply means the max current this charger can provide under load. The laptop will only draw Amps it requires to keep it operational. Rest assured it's safe to use.

Hope my answer helped you.
