Hi chaps,
read on another forum that it was considered perfectly acceptable to run a lappy requiring a nominal voltage of 19V on a 12 V car battery - the only downside being that the laptop battery wouldn't charge......
Does this sound like a feasible proposition if battery charging was not a requirement or is there a possibility of damage to the unit in some way? My thoughts are that an excess of 7V is an awful lot if that was solely required to charge a battery and my conclusion that the system components therefore require a cuppla volts more than 12 in order to function without drawing excess amps.
Any thoughts peeps?
