    I have to purchase both the battery and AC cord, my question is would a replacement cord be powerful enough to power and charge the battery? As far as I know the original expensive cord is 90 watts but the more affordable replacement cord I am seeing is 72 watts? Please advise, thanks.

    i used 72 watts in my old T30 and it is completely fine with charging and running the laptop at the same time.
