Hi all, hope someone can help. I have planned to use a Carnetix unit to power my Laptop install. I have a Dell D410 that needs 19.5v, 90w DC power. The Carnetix is only configurable for 19v. Will the lack of .5v cause me any issues?

Thanks

It should be fine.
It might be even better to use the 20v setting for your Dell laptop.

mmm, really!! I know it's only .5v but will that not damage it?

It shouldn't. A 1/2 volt difference is trivial. But, to be safe, try it at 19v first. If it works, no need to go with 20.

ok, thanks guys! Much appreciated!

The Carnetix P1900 actually outputs .5v more than it says to compensate for wiring losses. My laptop is also actually 19.5v and I have it set to 19v. It has been rock solid.
