My current charger is broken, but I found another charger which kind of fits, but im suspicious if it will harm my laptops battery in the long run, what commands can I run or what can I look at to see if a new type of charger is harming a laptops battery? as this isnt usb-c or anything really official.
And, anybody who has played in RaspberryPi 5 land will probably know: there’s different voltages delivered in USB-C and each has its own amperage limit in a given charger, so the wattage rating of the charger doesn’t tell the whole story. Like a PC internal supply you need to ask: what’s the amperage capacity at 5V, 9V, 15V, 20V ? A “90W” USB-C charger might only deliver 100mA at 5V and 9V with most of the “juice” delivered at 15 and/or 20V - and what voltages is your laptop configured to be able to consume for battery charging?
It usually works out simply enough for most consumers, but not always…
