[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 736788, member: 59833"] Good question. You really just have to take the published specs at their word. Some thermal protection device should trip or blow before anything melted. You likely could charge the battery as long as the notebook was not turned on and drawing power too. But if the supply was underpowered and tried to boot the computer, it likely would not boot at all. But this assumes all thermal and overload circuits and devices are working properly and not faulty.
