Power Adapter

Is it bad to use a power adapter on a computer that supplies the wrong voltage?

I have an XPS M1530 and when i plug in a power adapter that I bought offline it tells me that it's the wrong voltage.

The correct voltage is very important for your computer to run and charge properly. I'm surprised the plug even fit if the voltage was different. Typically laptop manufacturers change the plug to makes sure that customers don't plug the wrong adapter in. Was this an adapter not made by Dell?

In some cases the power adapter has the same voltage but a different wattage and some Dell laptops can "tell the difference". The Dell M65 for example uses a 90 watt 19.5 volt adapter. If you plug in a 65 watt 19.5 volt adapter and boot up, you get a warning that the system will run slower and take longer to charge the battery.

I think the 17 inch Dell won't power up at all on a 65 watt charger.
