Needed: Compaq Armada 110; same power jack/input/reqs as EVO n110?

Hello all,

Post-Xmas shopping for belated gifts, my sister has a:
Compaq Armada 110 0F01
System Serial Number: 6D19JMVxxNx
That I bought her several years ago and every year I buy her something else for it. This year she wants a new power brick but I am very impressed by the Valence N-charge:

http://www.valence.com/ncharge.asp

but its compatibility chart shows the Armada 110 excluded:

although the EVO n110 is included. I was under the impression that the Armada and EVO use the same adapter brick and have the same physical dimensions and power reqs.

Below is a picture of the tip:

What I am asking for is anyone with knowledge of the older Compaq laptops to come forward and make a recommendation on whether or not the EVO n110 charger would be the same. Valence claims if it's not on their list, it's not supported. HP/Compaq have included them together in their description:

My guess is that Valence did not test w/ Armada 110 as they could not get one and/or did not bother, as they are quite old. I know this forum has laptop techs from the 286 days, but I will value anyone's input on this issue.

Thanks!

Tony
