Sony vaio power cord/battery questions |
|
I recently bought a Sony Vaio S460 laptop and would like to have another power cord (so one can travel and the other be permanently threaded through the back of the desk! ) and an extra battery. Looking at the prices---since I spent ALL my available cash on the laptop I wondered if I *must* use the Sony products or if other brands can be used? I have several old power cords from deceased laptops over the years (or from mysterious sources...who knows? Socks disappear, computer cables and cords seem to multiply...)
Anyway, is there a way that someone can tell if it is safe to use another computer power cord that fits? (or battery) is it the voltage rating or....?
thanks

Voltages, polarities, power draw, different size/type connectors. I'd play it safe here. Get the same type replacement.
