My laptop battery is dead. But apparently the laptop accepts a wide range of voltages from the battery itself. I've got 12V(in practice 12.5-14V, solar) from the wall here, and I was wondering if there's a way to hook it up directly.
As far as I know the batteries have a chip which has to be present. Could I, for example, just toss the cells and use the old casing's + and - leads for power delivery?

I guess I'll just have to try and maybe fry it, fgts.

Don't forget to film it.

Yes ignore the amperage and wattage that your power brick handles

You can't push in more watts and amps than the laptop takes, that's now how electricity works.
The power brick has maximum values which the laptop itself should not exceed.

you understand that most laptops will boot without a battery if you have the charger plugged in?

i don't think that's what he means, it sounds like his aim is to plug the leads from the battery directly into his house's main

They do. But the charger port requires 18V or so. I could salvage a charger head and attach it to a DC-DC converter, but that would mean I'd be without an AC charger.
My current solution is using an inverter, but it's noisy, inefficient and shuts down in case of a voltage drop from, for example, using the water pump.
