hmm, the label says "AC adapter". I'm not up with the nomenclature, sorry. it's a box that sits on the table and plugs into the 120V and one end and had a cylindrical plug on the other end that plugs into the laptop. > If the answer to the above is the AC adapter, then what makes you > think that the battery is being charged at 16V? I quoted the open circuit voltage. I have no idea of the internal impedance.
