    Anyone know the dimensions of the UX303LN power port? It's a barrel connector so it should have an exterior diameter and an interior diameter (for the pin). I emailed Asus twice but got nonsensical and conflicting responses.

    Ebay listings for what appear to be the same charger say its 4.00 mm by 1.35 mm but the latter dimension seems too big. I inserted a drill bit into the pin hole to get an estimate for the interior diameter and got ~1.10-1.15 mm, but that's a highly unusual size.

    My end goal is that I want to use this with an external battery pack like the Intocircuit Powercastle 2600, but the plugs that come with it don't work

    I believe 4mm by 1.35mm is correct.

    The other thing to keep in mind is there is no standard, especially at low wattages, not all 65W bricks will across all machines. You do need to get one the same dimentions as your current port.

    Check the voltage and amp rating to be sure that matches your old unit.
