I had an after market empower adapter for one of my Dell computers did just that. Only supplies the power but does not charge the battery. Even plugging it into a regualr wall outlet. I called the manufacturer and was told Dell designed their computer only allows charging the battery when using a genuine Dell charger. I got a Dell charger and it worked.
