My own laptop batter question...

[lovejenete]

Ok, I have a laptop battery question, too....may I join in the fun?I want to be able to take my old and decrepid laptop with me when I go somewhere, but the thing only works when it's plugged in to an electricity outlet. I do have a generator at the place where I go to, but don't really want the noise or the cost of running it just to plug in one tiny laptop. Can I somehow hook my laptop to a car battery or something?

yes - there are many products that will turn the 12v DC of a car battery into the AC needed by the laptop's cable.

search for "inverter" they're not cheap, but they're very handy to have around.

You can get a 12 volt power supply for most laptops, use that popular search engine and search for '12 volt laptop power supply'.

If the laptop is a popular model you should be able to get a new battery for it from that popular auction site.
