Now, we are getting severe lightning storms and I am needing to get away from the Power Company, for many reasons. I constantly need to unplug the UPS, Phone line, TV cord, and portable phone, every time we are outside the house. These storms come out of nowhere in minutes, USUALLY following the Lightning strikes.
I recently bought 8KW of electric car battery and will use that as 12V supply for lighting and hopefully Laptop power. Getting wind and hydro chargers built, slowly but surely.
I found 1 thread here, but, being completely incompetent with electronics, I would appreciate some assistance. I have found circuit boards on ebay, but still don't know anything about using one. Seems they have different voltage boards listed.
All I want is a way to run the 10.8 V nominal battery from a 12-14V battery.
The Laptop battery alone only runs the Laptop for 1 hour, so, is getting near replacement stage.
Is there a device that a dummy can purchase, that you simply connect to the input jack on the laptop to do what I need ?
Thanks to all that might help me through this situation.
