I didn't spend a lot of time analyzing it, cause when the 2 outputs are summed, the end result is 19v, which suited my purpouse....

I don't think there is any communication, just a weird voltage configuration.... either way, if charging the battery isn't important, then the p1900 will definitely do the job... otherwise get a lind adapter for your model & it'll charge 100%....

So how does the lind work? Do you plug into your cigerrete lighter? If so, how do you get the shutdown controller to work?

Thanks

Edit: I just googled it, damn its expensive
