Doc Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 At star parties I've always ran my laptop from the mains via a EHU, my question is if I run it from one of those 12v adapters via a battery will I notice any difference. Will it still run exactly the same way, or will it be slower. What happens as the battery runs down, does the computer get slower? The lap top is a ASUS Eee 19v 2.1A and the battery is a Baz battery 12v 38Ah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 It will run just the same, until the battery goes dead (I run from battery at dark sites and Netbooks are GREAT for that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddy Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Technically it depends on the power settings, as some have a lower performance setting when not plugged in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 just make sure the battery is big enough to cope and you will be away Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Mick, you will only draw around 40w on charge. The rate that your laptop/netbook uses it's battery will depend on the power scheme you have chosen to run. If you do not need it running at full tilt then make sure you have the display as dim as you can and choose a low cpu rate, you should also be able to stop the hd spinning too!. One of Baz's XL batteries will be absolutely fine Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
