Will the HP Pavilion dv6000t charge in China?

I am currently looking into a HP Pavilion dv6000t for my cousin in China. But the voltage there is 220V compared to 110V here in America. I was wondering if the notebook will be able to charge its battery there. If not, what accesories can I buy to let it charge? Will Dell work there?

Thank you so much!

Well, here's my experience. I took an HP laptop to China that uses the same 65W power adapter that still comes with dv6000s with integrated Intel graphic. I had no problem charging the laptop once I actually found a jack that has the same plug configuration as the power cord plug. So in that respect, you don't need to worry about the voltage difference.

On the other hand, China has about 2-3 different standard power jack configurations, one of them will take the standard 3-prong plug, the others will not fit at all. So be sure you can plug the power cord in or have the necessary adapter for that. You can probably buy the adapter in China if you need to since the voltage difference doesn't matter.

Hope this helps.

 

the adapter comes in two parts, the part that plugs into the laptop which contains the power supply, and the part that connects to the wall socket. the two parts can be separated so you only need to find the right plug to connect to the wall socket. the power supply itself provides 110-240V so it will work fine.

but yeah if all that fails, one can be purchased separately over there, though that probably wont be the case

 

I have a dv2000 and a dv9000 - both chargers will become warm when just charging the batteries on 220-v. But, if I try to both charge the battery and run the system - then the dv9000 charger becomes almost too hot to touch. I tried the dv9000 charger connected to a 110-v transformer (I live in Germany) - and it didn't overheat. So - anyways - long story made short - be careful when running off of 220-v AC. Good luck...

 

Maybe the dv9000 uses a 90W adapter instead of the 65W that comes standard with the dv6000 with integrated graphics. That could possibly cause overheating problems. If that's the case, then dv6000s with discrete graphics will have the same problem.
