OK, I got a laptop at a garage sale for free (wasn't working), and brought it home. A couple tries got me a POST screen, but it died after that. Upon destruction, I found the battery pack was filled with Toshiba batteries (see pics). I know a lot has been asked about charging batteries, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with charging voltage/current. The batteries are arrayed for 12V output. There's a board on the batteries with a fuel gauge IC and a microchip EEPROM. The fuel gauge is supposed to be able to write to and EEPROM, along with pseudo-SPI comm over serial lines. For charging, would I just pump the voltage into the battery +/- terminals?
(On a side note, I love my new Nikon Coolpix L12. I took the pictures about 4 inches away, without a tripod.)
