    I have a Inspiron 1720 and 1521. I only have my 1720 with me right now, but grabbed the wrong charger and got the charger that is for the 1521. It is a 65W-AC. Can I use it with my 1720 since the wattage is less than the 1720's charger?

    Thanks for your help. I only have about an hour of battery left, so hopefully someone can help me. I don't want to take the chance and just plug it in.

    Thanks.
