Hi all

going higher than that) from a single source, rather than separate power
supplies all wired into the mains. I'm thinking on an open frame chassis PSU
supplying 19V or whatever the standard is. Does anyone know of anything
specifically tailored for this kind of application?


Depends on the laptops; some may use some form of feedback about
battery status to the power supply and get upset if connected in
parallel.

Start by defining what voltage you need. Until you have, theres not
much worth saying.
