Got a Dell one but it doesn't offer enough tips.

Edit: this is just for testing purposes. Always OEM used or new for the client.

That is fine. I would never sell one to a customer. I always get genuine OEM for them.

THIS. I would never sell a cheap product that has its logo so obviously printed on it. One Google search and they'll be able to tell that the charger you sold them is $20 on Amazon. I get original Dell chargers for $18 apiece and sell for $79.99 (the same price on Dell's website). Yeah you've got the same charger at Walmart for $59.99 and counterfeit Chinese knockoffs selling for $20 on eBay and Amazon, but at least you're selling at MSRP. A client is much more likely to get p*ssed that you sold them a charger that can't be bought anywhere but Amazon for $20 for $80 than if you can show that the charger goes for $20 to $80 depending on where you buy it from. At worst they'll think you're "expensive" rather than a "ripoff."

Just be aware that certain manufacturers, like Apple and Dell, have chipped their chargers. So you might have it rejected by the laptop if it's powered up. Been a while since I bought one but I was always able to get them to charge if the laptop was powered off.

I just ran into a Dell laptop the other day that didn't like an authentic Dell 90 watt charger. It insisted on it's own Dell 130 watt unit.

Many of my clients have latitudes that need those. I have one in my dock for my 6530.

I'm with @Porthos and others on this. Use it for testing purposes only. I have a couple universals in my shop in case people don't bring theirs in - as normally happens.

However, I don't sell them to clients. Instead, opting to get them an OEM charger.

I bought two of the after-market chargers below and they both failed in the first month. Before that I had always debated whether to get a customer a new after-market charger or used OEM when they purchase a refurbished laptop from me. That settled the question. I buy used OEMs since that episode.
