There isn't enough ampage and fluctuations in power supply can damage internal hardware & the battery. 240V can handle general "spikes" in power (ampage)without doing any damage. 12V can't handle that, hence damage is inevitable at some point. As for the battery power pack, well it "thinks" it's charged when it isn't, it may already be useless. Try charging the battery with 240V to test it out. Beyond that be aware that system components inside rely on 240V! Even without power fluctuations your laptop is under immense strain! Eg: The first thing to be affected will be the PSU (which will be confused as to just how much power to supply), & the cooling fan will suffer first, hence over-heating of other components & eventual melt down...<br /><br />Laptops / PC's are not designed to run / charge on anything other than 240V! You'll be severely shortening its lifespan without it!<br /><br />H<br />Takey TezeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089285614597579889.post-15484380844693667242010-08-15T11:24:03.365+01:002010-08-15T11:24:03.365+01:00I think you have the photos the wrong way round, t...I think you have the photos the wrong way round, the top one is the junction and the bottom Coventry BasinBrian and Diana on NB Harnserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569360123827850984noreply@blogger.com
