Do I need a special charger to charge this high capacity battery? I have the OEM charger that outputs 18.5V 3.5A and says 65W on the side.

I've been using my new battery for about a month now, and I'm delighted with its performance. My HP G62 laptop's charger has the same specs as yours, and has worked just fine. After a four hour session unplugged, the new battery still shows 25% left. My old OEM battery (3years old) would barely make it past 2 hours unplugged. When I plug in to recharge the NEW battery, the "brick" on the charger is working hard and therefore gets quite warm. But that's to be expected since it got almost as warm when recharging the lower capacity OEM battery. Overall I'm delighted with my new battery and its extended working time. To me, it has been well worth the extra few bucks I paid over just buying an OEM equivalent battery. I strongly recommend this higher capacity battery, and believe it will work just fine with OEM chargers.

Comes with its own charger model SAW04-14.50-400USA with output14.5VDC, 400mA. Many universal chargers can be used, as long as you switch the unit to the correct output value mentioned above, and use the corresponding matching plug that comes with universal chargers.

Yes to both questions. I bought a higher amperage battery to use as my primary power source. The charger works well, even when I took it overseas.

According to the enclosed booklet that comes with the charger the output voltage is "5 volts DC"and the input voltage is "5 volts DC, max 1 amp" hope that helps you out.

The electrical requirements are 19V 1.65A. This is in little tiny letters on the lapdock case.The connector is not a common size. OD: 4 mm ID 1.7 mm. There are many chargers with the right V and A, but different connector. www.digikey.com or www.mouser.com stock the connector, if you can solder it on. I can solder, but took the easy route of finding compatible power supply on eBay.

I don't think the charger cares about the battery's capacity (Ah). Think of the battery like a bucket and a garden hose like the charger. The bucket can be any size, the hose will just take longer to fill it up. I don't know why you would want to use a significantly smaller/larger battery though - just get an appropriately sized UPS.

I DID NOT RECEIVE WHAT I ORDERED (1500-CA with 3A/10A/15A options). Amazon sent me a 1500A with 3A/8A/15A options, but when you open the box up and look at the charger, IT ONLY HAS OPTIONS FOR 3A/15A ! This makes the charger useless to me, as I use only Optima AGM batteries, which have a 10A maximum charge rate. Amazon had better overnight-express me the right one...I need it tomorrow!

My charger, a ThruNite MCCC-4, outputs a charging level of 4.2v. When the battery reaches this level, shown on LCD panel, it shuts off, fully charged. The battery "likes" to hold an operating voltage of 3.5, so using a charging voltage of 3.8 would be conservative, and certainly safe. These batteries are very robust, and will not take more than they're designed for.

Depends what you're charging from and what kind of power output it has. Remember this is 13000mAh. It's a large battery. If you're charging from the wall try a different wall connector. If you're charging USB you have to consider the amp output of that port. And if you're using solar power you gotta consider output of that as well.

I believe the charger is made to operate on 110-120 V input. If the input voltage is higher the output will be higher and damage the unit.

Hey, since I don't know a whole lot about this sorta stuff I'm just gonna give you most of the information on the charger. Model: ADP-180HB D INPUT: 100-240V ~ 2.25A 50-60Hz Hope that helps.

Did NOT work on mine as it was really a 130w charger not 150w. Cheap knock off. DOT NOT BUT THIS. Get one where the reviews are more equitable to it actually being a 150w charger.

switching back and forth between 5 watts and 15 watts did it for me.actually, I bought it for my motor home so i can recharge my dead battery so i can start the engine periodically.It is the best charger i have owned. even if you are stuck in the 70-90 % range, it only takes about 3 hours to charge the dead battery enuf to start my rig.my battery is a 800-1000 peak battery

Probably not. Your battery pack is giving you 10 watts peak, Your charger needs 9.6 watts. This requires the converter to be 96% efficient. It probably can't make this. Do you know if your 12v device really does need a full 0.8A? Is is that just the max rating of the charger you are trying to replace?

My charger is a 20volt, but I think the main question is whether the connection points on the charger are the same. I can't send you a photo, but it has 4 connecting points that plug into the charger. Good luck!

No. A regular rechargeable battery charger will have an output just over 1.5V per cell. These are 3.2V. Unfortunately your charger will either read them as fully charged way too soon, or refuse to charge them at all. There very well could be super-smart-chargers that would somehow recognize these and charge appropriately, but a regular one for 1.2V NiMH or NiCad batteries will not work.
1353182
have not. But, I do have this same charger and it says right on it that it will charge 7.2 to 18V NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion. What are your circumstances that you would pose such a question?
