TP adapter: 08K8204 vs 02K6699

[zver17]

i bought an adapter on ebay (advertised as p/n 02K6699, from bestseller239, for $22) and, after 1.5months of waiting and finally lodging a paypal complaint, it finally arrived. however the actual p/n on it is 08K8204. I checked the specs (eg, output, 16V-4.5A) and the only difference I found with the brick that shipped with my t42 is the input: 1.5A-0.9A instead of 1.9A. Should I be concerned?
many thanks!

I received a 02K6750 with my T41, and it is rated thus:
Input: 100 - 240V
Input: 1.4 - 0.7A
Output: 16V at 4.5A = 72 Watts

I purchase an extra from my bona-fide IBM partner and it is an 08K8204 (same as yours), and is rated thus:
Input: 100 - 240V
Input: 1.5 - 0.9A
Output: 16V at 4.5A = 72 Watts

The latter brick is physically smaller than the former brick and I expect that accounts for the extra input current. It is a fine replacement adapter, so you should have no problem with your purchase. ... JD Hurst

as long as the output is the same you are all set... that's all your Thinkpad "sees.....
