So I have this really awesome HP Pavilion Laptop. I am currently in the search for a battery pack for it, but can't find any that work because the charging port requires 19.5v at 10.3 amps.
Which gives me this prolly not so smart but cool idea...
I know the battery in the laptop uses 11.55 volts at 4.5 amps. The battery pack I have can output 12 volts at 3amps max, 16 volts at 4.7amps max. Since it says "max" I am assuming it can throttle down the amps if it doesn't require all of them. So here is they idea: I wire the battery pack directly to the motherboard of the laptop, exactly where the currently installed battery connects. I do not think it will fry the motherboard at 16volts since the amps say max I am guessing it can throttle those down if needed. The how I wire everything is TBD, as I have a few concerns below.
Here are my concerns:
1. Will it even work?
2. If it does work, is there something in the BIOS/kernels that would ignore the extra capacity of the battery pack?
3. What are your concerns/ideas that I may be overlooking?
Thanks everyone!
