[QUOTE="condor22, post: 305612, member: 1932"] I had a thought re the laptop charger after my post - The charger I have is this one [url]https://www.jaycar.com.au/150w-car-laptop-power-supply/p/MP3472[/url] As the power output is about 25% more than my laptop uses, if you use this device when the laptop is on, the charge rate is bugger all, but the laptop battery charge state will not reduce. So treat it as a power supply. So, to use it as a charger to charge quickly, they are best used when the laptop is off. That logic to charge any battery is pretty common, draw power whilst charging = longer charge time. [/QUOTE]
