Thread: Now that I have a M200 and its port replicator,

    Default Now that I have a M200 and its port replicator,

    Now that I have a M200 and its port replicator, I have three different AC adapters.

    3500 adapter - outputs 15V at 3 amps
    M200 adapter - outputs 15V at 4 amps
    Advanced Port Replicator III adapter - outputs 15V at 5 amps

    How interchangable are these? Is it safe to use the APR's adapter to charge the 3500 faster, or to use with the M200 while traveling? It takes a long time to charge the 3500 when using it with the standard adapter. Of course, all three have the same connector polarity.

    I've been using the M200 adapter and the APR adapter interchangeably with no side effects.

    The voltage number is the only important one. It must be 15 Volts. The Amperage rating is how much current the power supply can give you, should your system draw that much. The only gotcha is if you use a supply with a lower current rating than your equipment requires. In this case, the system would not charge, as it would not be drawing enough current.

    If you use a supply with a higher voltage rating, you'll let the smoke out :-)
