as i don't have a battery for the laptop i will to sort out a 12V power supply first, problem is the laptop is 14V

I suspect that the laptop might not work without a battery. Even if the battery doesn't hold a significant or perceptible charge, the laptop won't start without it.

Dunno what a repack on the battery would cost, but I'd guess $50-60 at the very cheapest.

That and ram start to hike the price up.

I'm using my Dell 6400 without a battery. However an older work laptop I had needed the battery to fire up. Even though its battery was cactus.

Yeah, I have one Toshiba that needs the battery to run. My aged IBM runs without the battery, athough doing so can lead to a corrupted eprom on the motherboard, which can be a costly replacement.

You download a free trial that has limited features so you can see if it does what you want of it, then buy the full version. As I recall the full version is not very expensive anyway.

Yep, I tried it too. It is excellent for testing things out. I think there are some limitations though. You're right too, buying it isn't expensive.
