Xtend adapter for my Hp

    I have sitting in front of me an Extend Micro Products "powerxender".

    It is labeld for input of 12 - 16 vdc at 6.5 amps and output of 5-24 volts dc 60w max. Attached is an output cord that says 18.6 volts 2.8amp with E205 and E007 on it.

    I would like to use this on my HP ZE4500. The adapter looks like it will fit and the HP wall adapter that came with my computer has an output of 18.5 volts and 4.9 amps.

    I tried to reach the manufacturer of the product but it redirected me to a Porn line (was not obvious to me at first but with a name like Xtend I can now see why).

    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    Chris

    The Powerxtender is an adapter so that I can run the computer off of an airplane or auto. Plugs into a Cigarette lighter or airplane socket.

    What I am not sure about is if the slight voltage increase from 18.5 to 18.6 and the difference in the amperage will effect the computer.

    Do you know what the actual operating voltage and amps are?

    Thank you

    Forgot to mention that the model is actually ZE4547wm.

    Although im NOT sure about the .1 difference. It may be OK to use as the onboard voltage regulator may take care of it. But to be fully honest, i just dont know! good question. surprising to see noone else has popped in here to say something. Im pretty sure HP would tell you NOT to use it but thats for the obvious reason.

    Ehhhh, I'm not sure what you're talking about here. Is this to plug into a laptop? If its to plug into a desktop PC, then no chance its got to be 115V or 230V AC or it just wont work. But, if its for a laptop...

    Right. I worked out that the current draw from that power extender would be 3.2A, which would be more than the cable can take(it would melt), and also not enough to power the laptop.

    So basically, no, it wouldn't work.
