Laptop external power
« on: January 06, 2004, 11:21:33 PM »
I have a Toshiba laptop that I am setting up for recording. It runs on one 10.8V 4500mA battery. Can I construct a SLA/RC battery to supply power thru the A/C connection? I only need a few minutes of power to swap my batteries. Sorry for ignorance of AC/DC and power options.

(Ok, commence with the AC/DC band jokes ;) )

Check out the universal laptop battery pack @ batteryspace.com
Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."

Check out the POWERPAD at electrovaya.com.  It powers thru the AC Port, and the high VA model will probably run your unit all night.  They're a little pricey, but for the size and footprint, they can't be beat.

Check the Model Compatibility Guide to make sure your computer is supported.

Shame my Sony GRT-100 uses a 19.5V input, and I can find ANYTHING REASONABLE (in size, $$ is no object) to power it in the field.  I "over-spec'd" on power/screen size, before I checked whether I could power the damn thing remotely.

I don't think he's looking for an external battery pack to run all night on, as his stock of internal batteries is sufficient. The only real problem with many older Satellites is they only support one internal battery, making changes a bit rough if theres no break expected before the juice runs out.
