It's not the Empower power rating.... it's the iGO interacting with the Dell. Dell included some circuitry in their chargers a while back so that the laptop can tell if it's a real Dell charger, and refuses to recharge if it isn't.

iGO support confirmed this for me. Dell has yet to answer my email.
