I tried mine on anther laptop only way I know there are many that use the same power supply

I tested it on my friends laptop (it happened to be the same model as mine) that's how I realized it was my power cord

I wish there was a better answer but unfortunately laptops are not desktops. We too tested the laptop's power supply on another laptop with a newer battery. We also had to replace the battery.

Any auto parts store should be able to test the battery.as far as the wires, do you know any auto mechanics? Lots of them own tools for testing connections and such. You could start there.

With a fully charged new battery that would be the expected process. You can have the battery tested at Sears, Bell Tire, and other places usually for free to confirm all is OK. Or, you can get a 12v battery tester for about $10-20 here on Amazon that will read voltage, and other basic battery and alternator checks. I found one at Meijers the other day. You can check the battery every couple months like you would tire pressure and such. And confirm pre-winter readiness, of course! Good Luck!

You could test it if you had a 12 volt source and wired everything up. The unit basically just needs power and a ground.

Not sure I use if for a solar power pack. Measure voltage of battery and the draw from the battery

I checked my instruction manual and you can email them at info@maxi-matic.com to ask about the power cord.

My unit has a non-detachable power cord, so I do not know how to answer your question.

If you already got a battery to save money then I think you should go out of any building, a few feet away from any thing, then apply the new battery (I assume you have already cleaned it after the leak), and bring an extension cord to connect to test. Hopefully if it did not get hot, and blow off any fuse of electricity, and a long list of ifs then you could be fine.

No. This will not check the power supply. This only checks the motherboard and components attached to it. Look for a power supply tester. They are only a few bucks though amazon.

Should be able to test 6 volt battery one at a time, not all connected together.

I have not used this particular product. To test batteries you need to know more than just what the voltage is, you have to know the voltage drop of the battery when a load is supplied. If your talking about a car battery places like Autozone will check your battery for free.http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/dcex6.html

You have to be careful not to have over charged the battery. If you did overcharged the battery by 30+ minutes the battery becomes useless or you'll notice a diffrence in power. If you know forsure that its not the battery then get yourself a circuit tester and start following your battery circuit flow, you may be able to narrow it down and hopefully find a quick fix.

The electrian I had on the phone said to turn the power on to test. I used just answer. Com

Yes it will tell you if a 12V battery is good or bad. But the best way to test a 12V battery is to use a load tester or take the battery to a auto store and ask to load test it they usally will and not charge you for it. That is the best way.

Sometimes power cords can be tricky. Try a Friend's power cord or someone else's with the exact same one. I only know because with another laptop I had, It showed plugged in not charging, The laptop suggested that I change the battery so I did only to receive the same message. It wound up being the power cord. Alternately you can try shutting down the PC. Unplug the power cord, remove the battery, Then hold down the power button for 20 seconds. Re-Install the battery then the power supply and power back up. Hope this helps!

I don't think it's worth the effort. It isn't a plug in cord so just take it to a repair shop or replace the unit.

Dear Suzanne C. Just locate your nearest Radio Shack and they will test the battery for you free of charge. You can also take your battery to any local auto repair shop or an automotive electrical repair shop and they will test your batteries. If you don't want to spend the time taking your batteries to any of these paces, you can buy an inexpensive test meter from ebay and DIY. A note: check the expiration date on the battery package. Usually, if that date is over a month or two past, your batteries "May" not have as much charge left, but not completely dead.
