e5570 and e7240 can use same AC adapter?

Hello.

I have a e7240 (i5 4300U) and just bought a e5570 (i5 6300U, 8GB,256SSD, FHD, W10 )

I see that the AC chargers are the same 65W. Can i use any of this on any of the two latitudes???

the left one is for the e5570 and the right for the e7240
thank you

 

Yes. They are interchangeable. Dell doesn't go out of its way to make make life difficult for companies who have a large inventory of Latitudes of different ages and who like to keep some spare PSUs in the cupboard.

Consequently, you can use any other Dell Latitude adapter with a 19.5V DC output and the right size of DC plug. The notebooks may grumble if connected to a 45W adapter which was made for the Latitude XT but they will work (I've done it) and adapters with 90W or more rating also work (without the computer grumbling). So if you want a spare PSU then you can pick up old Latitude adapters on ebay. They may look different but they work fine.
