Laptop car charger help

Yet you seem to have a very loose understanding of the topic.

I wouldn’t trust you with my small audio projects.

Easy to snipe while not actually providing any details which indicate you know what you are talking about yourself.

Sure there are complexities like PWM and so on - but as above that is a case by case basis and you can only generalise.

EDIT: Besides most of the issues are going to be things like lack of control or other data lines used to communicate current capabilities which will normally result in either the supply not being accepted or laptop working at reduced capability rather than being destroyed and aside from very cheap ones the average boost converter probably has as good or better output than the average laptop power supply many of which are built as cheaply as possible even on expensive laptops.

See, the thing is your posts (this one particularly) proves to me you have very little experience because if you did this exchange wouldn’t have continued.

As I said, try it with your own kit. Please record footage, upload to YouTube and keep comments enabled. I’m sure details will be provided for you.

Again easy to snipe, less easy to actually provide any constructive input of your own. I think if anything so far we are proving you know far less about this topic than I originally thought.

I suspect like previous interactions you'll get more and more aggressive and eventually be proved wrong yet again.

Anyhow I suspect in reality the worst that is going to happen is it turns out the boost controller can't do the wattage claimed (most of the generic ones are only good for about half their sold rating) and goes up in smoke with the laptop unharmed.

EDIT: PS This is the kind of stuff I do as a hobby - I would certainly not call myself an expert but I have some experience:

I think I provided constructive points, you seem to looking to continue an argument ( from past exchanges? ) that to me is a little pointless past what has already been discussed.

If you want someone to explain to you in great detail as why this obviously bad idea and where you have gone wrong YouTube would likely be an ideal place to find that discussion. Although from the change in tone I think google might have already provided that?

IMO a small good brand inverter is the way to here OP.

Would be nice if you could just post constructively for once without resorting to all that BS.

EDIT: Though on the subject of YouTube - you can see from videos there is no big drama simply connecting up a laptop to a car batter via a simple boost converter...

For example:


Though I'd still agree in this kind of context a good brand inverter of appropriate wattage is the better way to go for many reasons.

Sorry OP,

Hold on, it’s you doing the quoting, and looking for answers from me remember.

I didn’t see you mention any of the potential issues past, the wait for someone who knows what they are talking about to comment on wiring to a battery.

I think you might want to lie down.
 
anker power house is like 2k
yeah bit to much money just to charge up my laptop

Going back to this - there is a range of devices like that for a lot less than 2K - though still not cheap - there are a variety of devices from Anker, Bluetti, Jackory, etc. for a few hundred pounds at around 300Wh capability with AC outlets which will run the laptop for quite awhile if you aren't using it under heavy load and/or give you 2-3 charges of the battery. Although it is yet another bulky thing to tote around.
