My laptop is pretty power hungry and cannot last a couple of classes in a row. So I am looking into battery packs, however everything is incredibly expensive. What would it take to make my own battery pack out of say, 18650s? My laptop takes 19.5V and 6.5A. I understand I can probably just put 6 of these together with a few resistors to settle out the extra voltage, however I wanted something larger.
- Are 18650s my best bet for a battery of this size? Is there a better alternative?
- What kind of voltage regulator would I need to properly implement this?
- What would be the best place to get the right size plug for a laptop charger? eBay, Amazon, Manufacturer, etc.
Thanks for the help!
