| I found this article on power supply hacks in case someone desires to make a portable / Laptop Natami. I don't believe it is without risks when it comes to Lithium batteries. All you have to do is search youtube for Lithium battery fires. [Quote]Kensington has produced several models of "Universal Power Supplies" for use with laptop computers and various other pieces of gear. These power supplies use a special tip which controls the voltage and current for the connected device. It may surprise you that one of these power supplies can make an excellent bench power supply, with voltage adjustable from 0 - 24 volts at up to 6 amps. Additionally, the current can be limited, either for safety (so a short doesn't blow up your widget) or to use as a constant current supply (no matter what the load, the current will remain constant). Constant current supplies are perfect for charging batteries or characterising LEDs.[Endquote] EXTERNAL LINK
