I have an IBM thinkpad with a 9 cell (nominal 10.8V) Li-ion battery. The charger is nominally 16.8V charger (measured 16.0V).
(Anyone know why you charge a 10.8V battery with a 16V charger? Surely the internal impedance of the charger can't be that high.) I also have available a Toshiba charger with the same plugs, except that it is a 18V charger (nominal and measured). Does anyone know if you can use an 18V charger in place of a 16V charger? Searches with google for battery/battery charger specs haven't been real helpful. I did find http://www.bixnet.com/unpowbat.html which has a dual voltage 19/16V charger which they say to set to either 16V or 19V according to the system you're charging. They don't say that you'll blow your system if you use 19V when charging a 16V system.
