i have 2 laptop chargers - one an asus and one a HP

one is -
input AC100-240v 50-60hz 1.5a
output - 19v - 3.42a

the other is -
input AC100-240v 50-60hz 1.7a
output - 19.5v - 3.33a

can i use them both interchangeably?
i know they are different and its generally not wise to use different ones - but i have heard that only matters if they differ greatly, and this is quite a small difference

i use both laptops, upstairs and downstairs but would prefer not to have carry the charger up and down too - so leave one up and down

thanks

It should be ok.

Personally, I would refrain from using a Charger which is Not identical as regards input and output to those which are provided by the original item.
One may be close to the original specifications but could cause untold damage and therefore is Not worth the risk.
