18.5V 3.5A

Latitude XPi, Latitude XPi CD

Both of these chargers are correct for the Latitude XPi and XPi CD, and appear to be the same charger labelled under different part numbers (maybe two revisions?).

Note that the XPi and XPi CD can also be powered by a 20V Dell PA-6 charger (meant for the Latitude C-Series), which is far easier to find. However, the XPi's power jack or the charger plug will have to be modified to allow it to fit, as the connector is keyed differently between the two.

18.5V 3.5A

Latitude XPi, Latitude XPi CD

16.2V 2.6A (34W)

Latitude LM

Original charger for the Latitude LM. This charger uses the same 3-pin connector as the PA-1 and PA-6, but is keyed differently both both and has a different pinout and voltage.

This charger is a generic Compal part, so you may find it labelled under different names (WinBook being one example). If it shares the TSA8 model number and the 3-pin connector, it should work for the Latitude LM.

Input: 100-240V~70-90VA 50-60Hz
Output: 20V 3.5A

Should be all that work with PA-6

This was the shipping charger for the early C-Series Latitudes like the CP and CPi. They work fine with any that don't need the higher-power PA-9.

Input: 100-240V~1.5A 50-60Hz
Output: 19V 2.4A

Inspiron 3000, Inspiron 3200

Original charger for the Inspiron 3000 and 3200 (Compal TS30H). These laptops use a standard barrel jack, so it's easy to find aftermarket chargers that work.

Input: 100-240V~1.5A 50-60Hz
Output: 20V 3.5A

Unknown

Barrel jack, unknown as to what this goes to.

Input: 100-240V~1.5A 50-60Hz
Output: 19V 3.16A

Inspiron 3500

Original charger for the Inspiron 3500 (Compal TS30T). These laptops use a standard barrel jack, so it's easy to find aftermarket chargers that work.

Input: 100-240V 50-60Hz
Output: 20V 3.5A

Latitude Models: CP, CPi, CPx, CPt, CS, CSx, C400, C500, C510, C540, C600, C610, C640, C800, C810, V700, V710, V740
Inspiron Models: 2500, 2600, 2650, 3700, 3800, 4000, 4100, 4150, 5000, 5000e, 7000, 7500, 8000, 8100

Original charger for the Latitude C-Series and Inspiron laptops from the same period.

The PA-6 was a whole family of chargers and went under multiple revisions. Some PA-6 chargers have a barrel jack on them - these are for certain Dell monitors. Make sure the one you're ordering has the 3-pin connector.

Input: 100-240V 1.5A 50-60Hz
Output: 19V 2.64A

Latitude LS, Latitude L400, Inspiron 2000, Inspiron 2100

This is the original charger for PP01S series Dell laptops, using the mini proprietary plug.

Input: 100-240V 50-60Hz
Output: 20V 4.51A

PA-9 works with all listed under PA-6. The following are laptops that require the PA-9:
Latitude Models: C840
Inspiron Models: 1100, 5100, 8200

Higher-amperage version of the PA-6 that is required for some Pentium 4 Dell laptops. The PA-9 works with all laptops the PA-6 works with.

Some PA-9 chargers have a 4-pin DIN connector instead of the expected 3-pin. These were for an LCD monitor, so avoid them if you need a PA-9 for a laptop.
