I have a jaycar converter which I charge my Toshiba laptop on 19v. It draws 3.7 amps at 12v according to my smart meter on my solar panels.I would set it for 19v, and take a chance. Better to much than two little.Bill

 I doubt that either voltage would be a problem.

 Hi

Agree

 Cannot see any reason for concern, if it has the correct wattage rating.
