Can I use a 90W adapter when my original Dell adapter was 65W? What will it do to the battery/laptop?

    Providing the output voltage and polarity are correct, yes.

    Nothing other than what you expect it to do.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it
