I just noticed when removing the battery that there's a label there saying, "input:19v 4.74a", but the charger that came with the notebook is "output:18.5v 3.5a". What is the technical explanation for this? Because I need to buy a new charger and now the right one I should look for seems wrong.

Answering my own question... HP chargers seem to provide +0.5v than that described on their label. They ship the notebook with a normal charger (18.5v 3.5a 65w) and also sell a fast charge one (19v 4.74a 90w). Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Now I'm worried because I've been using a HP Travel Adapter that was supposed to be 19.5v and now I realize it gives 20v. Should I be worried?
