laptop tear down for head unit power source questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

so ive torn apart a mini laptop i plan on glassing the screen where the current head unit is then mounting the mother board just behind that. in taking the laptop apart ive found that its battery is a 11.1v 4.3 ah so im theory this should mean i could just go directly from a 12v source to the battery location instead to power the laptop? or perhaps some type of step down being when the cars on it wil be at 14.***v

I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha.

A tablet would be way more practical, but If you're set on using a laptop, you could always use the ac power cord with one of these Energizer cup inverters.

They make a 180 watt for $40 bucks.

Yes you can power directly from the battery. Just make sure the circuit providing the power can deliver the same amount of wattage that the computer's charger put out. A 10 amp circuit would be good for about 100 watts.
