Dell G15 (5510)

On the Dell website it says has one option that says 240W (the one I was using is 180.0 W) is compatible with mine but for $140 I want to be 100%

Also my old one shocked the shit out of me because it was frayed and I had no idea so I want to be 1000% sure so I don’t get accidentally shocked again.

    At the time that laptop was released, USB-C couldn’t charge more than 100W. If that thing needs a 180W charger, USB-C simply wasn’t an option. The power delivery spec allows more these days, but that won’t help older models.

      Dell did some non-standard trickery to allow more than 100W charging through a USB C connector. If it’s one of those laptops it will only charge over 100W with a Dell USB charger.
