Laptop I have

hpi · 12-28-2006, 08:53 AM

Well a few years back I picked up a compaq armada and it ran great and still does run great and I got it for like 100$ off a friend of my moms. Anyways one day I don't know what happend but I managed to break the charger but it's not fixable so I was wondering is there anyway to get that battery charged?

Besides getting a new AC adaptor, if you find a plug that outputs the voltage of the battery, you could just rig up a little charger by simply connecting the + and - to the battery. It's not exactly the safest method, but it's possible to charge a battery like that.
