Your laptop already has a battery and this is not that portable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wouldn't recommend it. This thing is very heavy and you wouldn't have an extended amount of time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it needs to be plugged in to work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you want to carry a big box for power with you, and it's fully charged, and you don't mind listening to it constantly beeping, it will most likely power a notebook computer (which already has a battery in it) for about 30 minutes. Not really an ideal situation and you will be better off purchasing a spare battery for your notebook, assuming that the battery is removable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You could, but it beeps every few minutes, and then screams when the battery gets low, which could get annoying.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey Michael, This product was not meant for this purpose. These units are meant for desktop devices to supply battery backup during a power event. These products are meant to be stationary and can be heavy to carry. Thank you for your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check the watt capacity of the power source and the watt requirement of the device(s) that it needs to operate. If the source watts is larger than the device watts it should work. There is a gotcha in that some devices have significant inrush current that may be more than the source can provide. If more than one device is to be operated at the same time, the solution may be to power up one device at a time in a particular order. Not a hard thing to do if you can remember to do it.
