This is probably the cheapest universal adapter that we have seen. We’ve found it for around $20 on most sites.90W Universal Car Notebook DC Adapter Power Supply

Reviews of this laptop power supply or AC adapter (whatever you want to call it) are mixed. Some say this product worked fine, (and that’s all they said) but most seem to find that the adapter pins do not fit their laptops.

We would definitely recommend doing your research on this product to make sure it will fit your laptop or notebook. Many say the design and materials are cheap as well. It is hard to imagine something priced this cheap could be of significant quality and claim to be the all-inclusive mobile power solution.

For the life of us, we cannot find a significant brand name on this item, it just appears everywhere as 90W Universal Car Notebook DC Adapter Power Supply. There are similar products listed on most sites, some under the brand name Ritmo, but they’re generally $20-$30 higher in price. The reviews on this product were fairly hard to find also. Due to that fact alone, we would probably steer away from this product.

With that said, if you get free shipping and want to take the chance with this product, it could save you a significant amount of money. However, you may be better off finding a refurbished ac adapter or power supply for your specific laptop or notebook and purchasing an adapter for your vehicle. Sure this is going to cost you a lot more, but the car adapter can be used for other power devices as well, like a travel printer.

The battery is one of the most important components that makeup the system consisting of your Gateway laptop power supply. Although many argue the most important parts of these electronic gadgetries, without power nothing works! A newly bought laptop battery usually comes in a discharged condition. As with most chargeable battery operated devices, these batteries usually come un-charged when you first purchase them and it’s important to give them a good full charge before first use. And as always, it’s wise to read the owners manual to make sure you’ll get the best life out of your battery. Specifically, the Gateway laptop battery requires three to four hours of charging to achieve its optimum performance.

The instructions on the manual indicate that this battery should be charged and discharged a few times before it can reach its maximum capacity. It’s often been disputed as to why or even if allowing a battery to discharge and charge fully is good for the life of the battery. It has been our opinion here at Best Laptop Power Supply, that fully charging a new battery does insure that all cells get used initially and by allowing your battery to discharge almost fully at times also performs the same function. However, battery technology is changing all the time so some argue this is not necessarily, but it’s always worked for us and it’s certainly not going to hurt anything. Some refer to this process as recalibrating your battery and opinions vary. For more great info on battery life and maintenance, check out Battery University.

When you are charging your battery for the first time, don’t be surprised if you see that the process is complete after just a few minutes. This is normal for rechargeable batteries. What you have to do is unplug it and repeat the charging procedure. Batteries such as this should be stored at their fully charged state. They can do the discharging process on their own. The Gateway laptop battery manual clearly states that it should be conditioned by the charging cycle every two to three weeks. Also, if the battery is not used for a month or so then you should make sure to store it in a dry, cool, and clean place. It should not remain inserted in the device for that will affect the condition of both devices.

Although the battery is just one of the components that make up Gateway laptop power supplies, it should be given adequate importance. It pays to invest in a good charger too. Cheap charges may also shorten the lifespan of the battery. Lastly, you shouldn’t store the battery in hot and humid areas. A cool, dry place is the perfect storage area for electronic accessories like this. The important thing here is that we follow what is indicated in the product’s manual.
