Including charging the battery you mean?
Yes
Ok ta.
Thinking outside the box a bit and looking at this external /
universal charger ... if I had a known good Dell battery with the same
parameters as required by the laptop but that just didn't fit /in/ the
laptop a short extension lead might do the trick. Certainly sufficient
enough to ensure it /was/ a battery problem before buying another one?

p.s. When I worked for British Telecom (and then later Kodak on their
Microfilm side) we regularly used 'external' cards / cables to allow
us to check the card / module whilst connected to the machine but so
we could still get to it.
We use extender cards...and "stack" the card you were working on. I
worked on Rockwell based archaic PMOS. *L*
They were Positive ESD was going to wipe their MOS. ;-)
