The rating of the current adapter is 120v 60hz 770ma, output of  20v 1A.

    Another thing that's often not said on the label is that it could be a regulated or unregulated 20V supply.  Unregulated supplies can be cheaper, and the manufacturer has cost-optimised it to ensure that the voltage drop under load matches what the actual load needs.
