Read more about DC car/airline adapters for Dell Inspiron Latitude Precision Studio Vostro laptops before ordering.

When ordering a DC car charger-adapter for your Dell Inspiron-Latitude laptop, check the voltage and amperage on the bottom of the laptop to make sure you are ordering the correct Car power adapter. Some Dell laptop models have more than one car-airline adapter depending on the amperage rating. The power rating should be taken from the laptop, not the DC Car/Airline adapter/charger, because the laptop power label will provide the best compatible match of what the laptop needs. You should find a power rating that looks like this: 19V --- 3.16A. It can be found on the label on the bottom of the laptop, or in the battery compartment. Airline/Car Adapters are safe to use within +/- 1V of the laptop voltage. It is also safe to have a higher amperage than marked on the laptop becuase the laptop can only pull the amperage it needs. CAUTION: Using less than the required amperage will cause the laptops power supply to burn up because the laptop is pulling more amperage than the travel adapter can give it. Also, check the DC Jack on the back of the laptop to make sure it is not loose. A loose DC jack will cause the laptop to appear like the car adapter is bad when the laptop is just not making connection with power. For airline adapters, keep in mind that the airplane power connector online puts out 75 watts of power. Check with your Airline whether or not the airplane you are flying on provides the DC airline adapter tip at your seat.
