I am so aggravated lol.
I got the manufacturer's charger to work without the center pin. It would show "plugged in" and would leave the battery at 1%.
I got the second Krisdonia Power supply, and it does not work with both of them in parallel. It still shuts off after 30 seconds.
What is really strange, is there is still voltage through the wires. I have the wires exposed still (from doing a dry run of parallel batteries) and when I connect my volt meter across, it reads 19.9V. So the battery packs appear to be staying on, the laptop is just ignoring them. Is the extra amp I am missing really the problem? Considering with two Krisdonia Power Supplies in parallel, I should be able to reach 9.4A max. And from what someone else mentioned, you should always overshoot your required amps, which is 10.3A.
I think I should just give this up. But am also very curious as to what the issue is here. Lol.
Thanks all for the guidance and help along the way.
