    i have an hp pavilion dv6000 laptop and a compaq presario 900
    i was wondering if i could use the power adapter that came with the presario on the dv6000. the dv6000's power adapter has 100-240V ~ 1.6A in and 18.5V 3.5A out; the presario's power adapter is 100-240V ~ 1.5A in and 18.5V 4.5A
    there is a little difference but will it work or ruin my battery?

    it can be used. Your voltage supply power should be enough for your dv6000
