Can I use 45W charger instead of 130w?

You can not use a charger with a lower wattage rating. A 30W or a 45W charger can not supply sufficient power for your laptops needs which means you could damage the laptop and/or the charger.

How do I know what charger My HP laptop takes?

Look on the bottom of the laptop sometimes under the battery for the Volts and Amps. Look on the AC adaptors for the Volts and Amps. Just match them.

Can I use a 45W charger with a laptop that had an original 65W charger?

Yes, that’s right. Wattage is a measurement of how much power a supply can provide. If your computer requires 45w, but your power supply can provide 65w, you will be fine.

Power banks come in a variety of different models, and they’re not all built with the same charging capacities. You’ll be able to charge less-powerful laptops with a USB Type A power bank.

Any AC adapter is considered compatible with any device if it has all the following traits:

  2. The amperage (amps) of the adapter has to be equal or greater than the device.
  3. The polarity of the adapter has to be identical.

Is it OK to use 45W charger instead of 65W?

If the voltages match, the 45W should just charge a bit slower than the 65W. I would refrain from running anything heavy though, as it may be more load than the adapter can handle and it will drain the battery as well.

Will a 45W charger work instead of 65W?
