ZomBiE80 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 If your lapto doesn't have dedicated charger port, you cannot get more than 100mA without negotiation for more, for example microcontroller to tell host to give more power. Even with proper negotiation, 500mA is max. from normal USB port. And USB gives only 5V, so you'll need some step-up power supply from 5V -> 12V.
