Dell SM65CL-01 USB-C charger
The Dell SM65CL-01 is a new 65 W USB-C power adapter built for Dell laptops that charge through a Type-C port. It supports a wide range of Latitude, XPS, Inspiron and Chromebook models listed in the compatibility data. Travellers and remote workers who want a lighter spare unit will find it fits the brief.
Installation and common issues
Plug the AC cord into any 100-240 V outlet, then connect the USB-C plug to the laptop; the adapter negotiates 5 V, 9 V, 15 V or 20 V automatically. The only frequent problem is attempting to power a system that requires more than 65 W, which results in slow charging or no charge at all. ETL certification confirms the unit meets basic safety standards.
Capacity and headroom
At 65 W the adapter comfortably runs ultraportables and mainstream 13 to 16 inch Dell models that ship with 45 W or 65 W bricks. It cannot sustain larger workstations or gaming laptops that demand 90 W or higher, so those machines will drain the battery under load even while plugged in.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the charger is delivering power after connecting the USB-C cable?
The adapter outputs 20V at 3.25A for a total of 65W, so the laptop's charging indicator should light up and the battery icon will show it is receiving power.
What comes in the box and do I need to buy a separate AC cable?
The package includes the slim 65W USB-C power adapter with its attached output cord; the input side uses a standard IEC C7 figure-8 mains lead which is not supplied.
My laptop needs 45W — will this 65W model work or should I choose a lower-wattage version?
The charger negotiates 5V-3A, 9V-3A, 15V-3A, 20V-2.25A or 20V-3.25A, so it safely powers any Dell that requires 45W or 65W over USB-C.
