95-watt Laptop PSU Adaptor
12 V in, 19 V at 5 A out!
Published in issue 350, January 2006
Anyone who regularly uses a laptop or notebook computer while they are away from the home or office knows that sooner or later they will need to plug into a mains outlet to top up the batteries. The car cigarette lighter socket in the car is also an electrical outlet but it can only supply 12 V. That’s no problem for the Laptop PSU Adaptor described here; it can deliver ample voltage and current for today’s portable computers from a car battery. It’s also simple to build and has excellent efficiency. Modellers will also be interested in this design to recharge their battery packs in the field.
