Toughbook Supply voltage

[ironmonger]

I would like to power my Toughbook CF-30 with a regulated 15 volt supply. The supply that came with the tough book is rated at 15.6 volts. My initial thought would be that the slightly reduced voltage would have no great effect, but I thought that I would get some other opinions.

as long as you make sure the polarity is right and the amperage is close, it should work just fine. most electronics can handle +/- 10% voltage with no issue.

15.0 is within 5% of 15.6. It'll probably work. Might possibly be a bit of stress on the internal regulators, but probably fine.
