 Just in case you a need a new HP Pavilion DV6400 charger, there are a few points that you need to consider to ensure that you get the right adapter that is suitable for your laptop. The need for a new adapter may be necessitated by various reasons including:

1. Charger malfunctioning

2. Connector tip breaking

3. Misplaced or stolen charger

Whatever the reason, the right adapter has to be chosen so that you laptop continues to perform perfectly and efficiently.

 

One of the major factors that need to be considered when purchasing an HP Pavilion DV6400 adapter is the voltage, power and amperage. These features inform us of the amount of electricity that the adapter transmits to the laptop. The original adapters (are bought with the laptop) have an input voltage of 100-240V, amperage of 18A and power of 50/60Hz. These adapters give an output of 18.5V~3.5A. It is however important to note that most replacement adapters that are available in the market have output voltages of 19V~4.74A. This voltage is slightly higher than that of the original adapter. This difference is okay and your laptop will still function correctly. It is important to note that the amperage of a replacement adapter has to be equal or higher than that of the original adapter.

 

The other major factor that needs to be considered while purchasing a new HP Pavilion DV6400 adapter is the connector tip size. This is the tip of the adapter that is plugged into the laptop. While purchasing a new adapter, you should ensure that the tip is exactly the same in size to the input port in the laptop. The adapter has an outer ring diameter of 7.4 millimetres and an inner ring diameter of 5 millimetres. These dimensions should be maintained at all times. Purchasing an adapter with smaller or larger dimensions than these can cause damages to the charger and or the laptop.

 

An HP adapter have basically the same meaning: they can be used interchangeably to give the same meaning. However, HP laptop chargers for Pavilion DV6400 can be used to refer to devices that charge HP batteries without being connected to the laptop. They can be utilised majorly by those who have laptops with malfunctioning power ports. They must therefore have at least two chargers and charge one while using the other on their laptops.

 

A complete set of HP Pavilion DV6400 charger comes with different components including a 2 pin power plug and a 3 pin power plug. This ensures that the user can use his laptop with various power sources. The user has to take good care of his charging components to ensure that they last longer and work efficiently.
