DELL 65W USB-C Adapter for ThinkPad

The DELL SM65CL-01 delivers up to 65 watts through a USB Type-C connector. It accepts 100-240 volt input at 1.5 amps and provides selectable outputs of 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A and 20V/3.25A. The unit ships with a detachable mains cord and carries a twelve-month service replacement offer.

USB Power Delivery practical limits

The adapter negotiates power over USB-C so it only supplies the voltage and current the attached device requests. Maximum output is capped at 65 watts, so laptops that require higher wattage for full performance or simultaneous charging under load will draw more slowly or not at all. Cable length and connector wear can also affect sustained delivery.

Replaces 45W and proprietary barrel chargers

This unit replaces Lenovo 45W USB-C adapters and a long list of barrel-tip part numbers including ADLX45 and ADLX65 series. The jump is worth it when you need a single charger that covers multiple ThinkPad, Yoga, IdeaPad and Chromebook models across generations, or when the original barrel connector is damaged and a USB-C alternative is preferred.
