Hi,

I'm trying to buy a new charger for my PC Acer Swift SF316-51, but for most of the chargers I find online, my computer model isn't listed among the compatible models. However, most of them state to be compatible with the SF314 and SF315 series. As they visually look a lot like my old charger, would they also be compatible with my computer?
Thank you.

    Hello,

    1. Could you post a picture showing the sticker of the actual AC adapter (charger)?
    2. In which country do you live?

    Thank you for your reply.

    I bought my computer (and my charger) in France, but I now live in Canada, so I'm trying to buy a charger from a Canadian website.
    Here are the specifications of my charger:

    Besides these specifications, I'm also worried about whether the connector will fit into my computer's port.

    Hello,

    You don't need a new charger. The voltage and the frequency are compatible with the Canadian electrical network. You juste have to replace the power cord or find a plug adapter for the Canadian standard.

    Your charger works to 100 at 240 VAC and 50 or 60 Hz so it's not a problem.

    For example, this one:

    Thank you for your reply.
    I do need a new charger since I broke mine recently, and it's not related with the fact that I moved to another country.
    The one I found on the internet is compatible with the SF314 and SF315 series. The voltage and frequency are the same as my old charger. So my question is: would it also be compatible with the SF316 series?

    Ok. The Acer part number of your charger is KP.06503.018 . You can buy it from this official Canadian Acer parts partner (Source I.T.):

    I suggest you to buy an original part.
