<div>Thanks for all the feedback. Good points and I have a better appreciation for electronics power.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is the unit I was concerned about:</div>

<div> </div>
<div>I plugged it in to the wife's laptop and it didn't immediately signal that the power source was not compatible or optimized - both messages I have received when using various cords with various devices over the past few years.</div>
<div>For only $23 it is probably worth it just for the various tips if you want to go the route of a real benchtop variable power supply.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The documentation says 90 Watts so it definitely won't support a 10A drain.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My wife had left her charger while on a trip and I was just looking at something to keep her working while we waited for her charger to get home via the mail.</div>
<div>At a minimum, this charger seems to be a good option to at least charge the battery. Although given the growing incidence of Li ion battery thermal runaway, perhaps a little extra care is in order.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have convinced my household to charge all PEDs in the kitchen on a granite countertop, with a tile floor and close proximity to a smoke detector.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks again group!</div>

<div>This concept of an informal trusted personal network is a good one. I am using a similar concept for work.</div>
<div>We have established a regional roundtable that meets in person 3-4 times a year. Now that we have established a level of familiarity and trust within the group, I find that we are communicating electronically more frequently with good results - Sharing info and bouncing concepts off each other.</div></html>
