charging a laptop

[randyt]

I have a acer lap top that I use for most things. The charger cord went bad. So in desperation I plugged the charger cord from my wife's HP laptop. It worked so well my icon says the battery has 6 days 12 hours of charge time left on it, LOL. I expect once the battery runs down it will probably be defective. time will tell.

Hope the HP charger output voltage is the same (or very close) to the Acer charger's output! If it isn't you could fry the Acer's battery.

they both put out 19 volts but my battery is charged very well, wonder if my acer cord has been bad for awhile
