Hi,
I need to power my Compaq Armada directly from my car's power source (12V). However I need detailed information
on the wiring of either (or both) the battery or power adapter.
Unfortunately just connecting the appropriate voltage (+ and - ) does not work as I suspect there is circuitry within the battery and power adapter to stop people like me doing this kind of stuff...
I am keen to learn the technology involved hence my reluctance to just stick an AC inverter and run it from the power adapter.
TIA,
BartMan
