TIP: You can optimize the use of myPower ALL Plus with your laptop computer or portable DVD player by setting the voltage on myPower ALL Plus to less than the required voltage shown on the laptop computer power supply. This prevents myPower ALL Plus from charging the device, thus extending the amount of time you can use myPower ALL Plus to power your laptop computer.
Most laptop computers have a battery voltage of 11.1V or 14.8V, allowing them to be powered with 12V or
14V. Therefore, it is recommended that you set the voltage to 12V first, and then test to see if it will power your laptop. If not, increase the voltage to 14V, and retest. Repeat this process until you reach the voltage that will power your laptop.
Most portable DVD players require 9 or 12 volts. Set the voltage to 7.5V and test to see if myPower ALL Plus will power your device at this setting. If not, increase the voltage by one level and retest.
This table provides recommended voltage settings by device type.
