The 2.5A rating on the C5...C8 connectors had me

Nope, normally 3A. 3A, 5A and 13A are the most common sizes, with plugs
commonly available off the shelf with 3A fitted, though I keep 1A, 2A,
7A and 10A as well.
BTW, those C5/C6 connectors are almost universal on HP, Sony, and
Toshiba laptops over here. PITA. If you ever need to buy a spare, you
can bet it'll cost twice as much as the same cable with a C13 on it.
C13 connector cables are commonly fitted with 5A fused plugs for PCs
(and used to be for CRTs) or 3A for LCDs etc.
