    Which charger for 6560b? Both 18.5V and 19V listed on the back

    My 6560b seems to work with adapters with different voltages.

    The sticker on the back mentions both an 18.5V (3.5A) one and a 19V (4.7A) brick.

    Isn't this a bit out of the ordinary?

    Those very small voltage differences are within tolerance and gets regulated within the laptop. If it was something like 9V and 22V that would be out of the ordinary. About the A, 3.5A is around the minimum required, and that laptop would work\charge with any value from 3.5A and up.

    Thanks. I was not worried about the amperage - the voltage difference seemed a bit bizarre... Why not go for a higher rated 18.5V brick if more power was necessary?
