[RESOLVED] HP C500 Battery Voltage

[dmp944]

Would like to use an external battery. The power adapter provides a +5vdc. Would a 4.8 or 6vdc battery be OK to use?

Basically, it says that you need 5 volts DC, with 2.0 amps of current. These requirements must be met. You might be able to go with a higher 6 volt battery but I really wouldn't want to mess around with something like that. I don't believe that a typical 6 volt lamp battery would not be able to handle the current requirements.

Good Luck!
