The Dell Precision M6300 requires a PA-13 a/c adapter, not a PA-15 adapter. The M6300 comes with a 130W-AC Adapter, PA-13 family, Dell part#X9366

It worked for about 3 months and then died on me yesterday. Its cheap, light and not of good quality. Don't waste your money, buy the original.

The adapter is really big and bulky and mine only worked for about 2 weeks and then stopped working. I tried another adapter from my work laptop and that worked so I know it's an issue with the adapter, not my laptop.

This adapter actually out-lasted it's laptop that it's designed to work with :) My experience was great, and appreciate the product and service. :)

I purchased this because my Original one would no longer charge the Batteries on my Dell Inspiron 9100. This will be my 2nd review since I now have had this for quite some time.

Word of Warning: This Adapter gets VERY HOT under full load (Using the laptop while you charge the battery). After about 2-3 weeks, one of the capacitors inside it, a "Chang 2200uf 25v" exploded & left its Juices all over the insides this adapter, & the other 2 caps (same type) looked all ready to pop as well. I replaced all 3 them with Rubycon caps & Drilled some vent holes in the plastic housing to let it vent a bit. If there was ever a AC Adapter that needed venting holes & a Fan inside it, it would be this one.

Final Conclusions:
1: Only buy this as a emergency spare to hold you off while you buy a real one!
2: Do not use your Laptop while Charging the Batteries at the same time. Wait until your batteries are charged fully before running your Lap Top, or it will overheat & die!!


NOTE: The following is dangerous & should NOT be tried if you do not know what your doing!
I was able to use this Adapter under full load by opening it & aiming a small fan at it to keep it cool, then it ran perfectly! If only I could find a small 20v Fan, I'd add it myself.

I was very impressed with this charger. It is actually better than the original charger. It charges the battery very quickly. Excellent product from great seller.

I bought this supply when repairing and testing an Inspiron 9100 laptop. It met my expectations, supplying the needed voltage and current at a reasonable price. I am not sure that the BIOS single-pin read of the model/serial brought in the expected data - but that feature was not relevant to my usage and I did not explore it farther.

I bought this product and it stopped working within 2 months. I am not impressed and won't buy from this company again.

Whoever said it was the exact same thing as the one that came with their Dell computer is either lying or got a cheap knock-off with their Dell.

1) the cords are much shorter.
2) all the materials look and feel much cheaper. The adapter itself is about 1/3 as heavy as my previous one.
3) it would not even provide a constant power supply. It would cause my computer to flicker from battery power to plugged in repeatedly, especially when doing something "strenuous" like watching a movie or playing a game. This causes the screen to flicker on and off every time and then lag the computer for 1-2 seconds. Makes games unplayable.
4) did I mention it's super cheap? It fell off my desk once (a whopping 2 foot fall) and now will not provide any power at all. I am currently typing this with the last 47 minutes of battery I have left on my computer.

Good price and good service. Item works as it should, for less money than other sources.
