Title: laptop and SLA batteries
Post by: smanky on November 25, 2003, 10:53:50 PM
So stupid me left my ac adapter at a show in Birmingham, and I live in FL, so I won't be getting it back...  If I order another one, being the holiday weekend and all, of course it's gonna take a while to get here, so for right now I've just not been using it much and powering it off of batteries.
My question is, is it possible to hook the charger up to the battery to keep charging it while I'm draining it as it's hooked up to my laptop?  I know the laptop draws a lot more than the charger puts in to the battery, but if I could do this, I could at least extend the use a little bit until I get a new ac adapter.  Any other suggestions?
I'm just dumb, I had my friend pack up my rig while I had to go do other things, and I never went back to see that he had grabbed EVERYTHING.  I also lost my extension chord but that's cheap to replace.
