Answer

Hello,
You should use your computer's original power supply and plug it into the docking station. This will ensure that the voltage supplied by the charger corresponds to your computer.

And if you want to have two power supplies (one for travelling and one that stays connected to the docking station), the best thing to do is to buy a charger identical to the one supplied with your computer.
