I have two laptops (same manufacture), with the same type of power connector.

However, the power supplies/transformers are slightly different.

The output on the first laptop's power supply is 15.6 V at 8.0 A. The The output on the second laptop's power supply is 15.6 V at 5A5 A.

Clearly the voltages are the same, but the currents are different. I assume the second laptop's power supply can not be used on the first, because it can't supply enough power to the laptop.

However, can the first laptop's power supply be safely used on the second laptop?

Laptop Power Suppliespower supplies, do AMPScurrent matter?

I have two laptops (same manufacture), with the same type of power connector. However, the power supplies/transformers are slightly different.
The output on the first laptop's power supply is 15.6V /6 V at 8.0A
0 A. The output on the second laptop's power supply is 15.6V /6 V at 5A.

Clearly the voltsvoltages are the same, but the Ampscurrents are different. I assume the second laptop's power supply can not be used on the first, because it can't supply enough power to the laptop.

However, can the first laptop's power supply be safely used on the second laptop safely?
