My original CX480 charger stopped functioning by an overcharge. My new charger that has exactly the same voltage and current and alleged to be compatible with many laptops. It is Huntkey HKA09019047-8D.
I noticed that it has +3.5 w charging when charger is more than 95% charged and windows continuously says "charging". It has about +24 w when normal charging and -10 w to -20 w when unplugged and about +6 w when close to full.
My main question is "Is my laptop get overcharged or +3.5 w charging is normal?".
And my NEXT question is"Is there any software that can stop overcharge? I couldn't find any!"
And my next question is "How to find appropriate charger? I can't buy and return chargers.".
I thought that stopping of charge is the buttery duty but charger seems to another side!  Generic chargers can ruin a laptop...speaking from personal experience.So you mean that I should find another MSI charger that might be compatible? Or it is surely compatible if it be MSI?
Have you heard anything about my other questions:
- "Is my laptop get overcharged or +3.5 w charging is normal?".
- "Is there any software that can stop overcharge? I couldn't find any!"I agree with  Patio.
And the manual for that laptop is not easy to find, they want to sell it.

Generic answer to your two questions.
Indeterminate. The  voltage level, per se, does not damage thugs. There is also a current regulator. Modern CHARMING systems are 'smart', to  ADJUST  charge rate to the batteries need. Not always a linear process.
Software has limited control of changer function. It is hardwired.

Here is why.
The charger system of any laptop has three has three  components.
1. The battery itself.
2. The regulators inside the laptop.
3. The battery may have regulators built-in.

Until somebody makes a universal standard for laptop changing systems,  each design engineer can make his own stuff. It is an area where the manufacturers can leverage their control of the aftermarket.

In brief. The laptop may have to be serviced by the manufacture if the certified battery and changer replacements do not work.
