|  Am I crazy for Asking This?
Dad just bought a new laptop and I will be getting his old one as a hand-me-down and just.thouht of something that I've never seen before. I have a HobbyTown brand Patriot charger that is basically the same thing as the Orion IQ and the BC6 chargers, would it be possible to make an adapter and charge the laptop battery with this charger?

Thats not a wise idea. Just leave it alone.

| Re: Am I crazy for Asking This?
I was thinking about doing something similar to this. I have 2 Toshiba satelite laptops that have the charging socket broken inside. It's a pain in the ass to take the laptop apart so externally charging them would allow me to use the again. I'm interested in seeing this attempt  |

Your "adapter" would likely need to be a transformer (step up or step down depending on the requirements of the laptop)...

| Re: Am I crazy for Asking This?
I'm not willing to just try it without asking a few questions first...........espscially since it might be losing a cell. A couple years back, Dad put an upsized battery in it when the factory one gave up and this one has an extra charge port so it can be charged while not installed in the laptop.
