This is not always the case. Some of those smart power supplies have a one wire communication chip that sends an actual digital code the laptop/PC is looking for.
At any rate,
this car charger will probably work. It's listed as compatible with the same laptops that your stock charger is compatible with.
It has to be a boost charger of some sort, though there isn't a guarantee of how low an input voltage it'll work with. Still $20 for a potential off the shelf solution seems reasonable to me.
