    Hi,

    I lost my original power adapter for X220T. I have one of these at home.

    Laptop Travel Charger - iGo Green® - Green at iGo, Inc.

    The iGo charger spec only says output of 90W, does not specifically say output of 20V, 3.25A/4.5A as needed by the X220T.

    Can I use this for my X220T? Or should I buy original lenovo charger?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I use a targus compact travel 90w charger. It supports different voltages via whatever tip is attached.

    The fact the iGo site says lenovo, means it'll work just fine with said tip.

    Thinkpads use a unique power connector, so if the charger has a compatible tip, chances are, it'll work just fine.

    Thank you both for your response. I am now using the iGo charger which seems to work fine.
