Dell SM100CL-01 100W USB-C Charger
The Dell SM100CL-01 is a 100W USB-C power adapter built for Dell Latitude, XPS, Inspiron, Vostro and Chromebook models that charge through a USB-C port. It suits mobile professionals and IT teams who need a single replacement or spare unit for multiple laptop families.
USB-C Power Delivery Limits
The adapter delivers 20V at 5A for a maximum of 100W and will negotiate down to 90W, 65W, 60W or 45W depending on the connected device. It only supports laptops that accept power over USB-C; models requiring a barrel connector cannot use this unit.
Installation and Common Issues
Connection is straightforward: plug the AC cord into mains power and the USB-C plug into the laptop. The most frequent problem is attempting to charge a system that does not support USB-C charging or that demands more than 100W, which this adapter cannot supply.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 100 W USB-C charger or a lower-wattage model for my Dell Latitude 5420?
The SM100CL-01 delivers up to 100 W at 20 V 5 A and is backward compatible with 90 W, 65 W, 60 W and 45 W Dell laptops, so it covers the 5420 and any lower-power Latitude or XPS models you own.
What does the 100 W rating actually give me when the charger is plugged into my laptop?
At 20 V and 5 A the adapter can supply the full 100 W your system requests, enabling maximum CPU and GPU performance while charging the battery at the fastest supported rate.
Does the USB-C connection limit the power delivery in any way?
The USB-C port on this charger is rated for 20 V 5 A 100 W output, so the interface itself does not cap power below the adapter’s maximum; the laptop’s own charging circuitry determines the final draw.
