How do I go about it?

It's easy. It depends on the kind of power you want. But basically:
Get your tools if you don't have them.
Do your calculations to determine amount of load for the power and vise versa.
Schematics has to do with the precise components and connections so get a proper schematics online or design/build yours after your calculations according to engineering principles... it's sincerely not rocket science
Get the components this will include a pcb or a veroboard to mount your components, and befitting cable wires actually meant for the right electronical voltage.
Connect components properly by soldering

It is cost-effective & afterwards you can get an enclosure for your project. Of course, you don't need something serious. Just effective power

You get to even build more and sell. Later on you can improve your work by adding counters or seven segment displays and sleek enclosure design that sales, lol...

If ya just need more help & clarification then feel free

I appreciate man.
I really do need clarity, like the type of battery and other components I will need, where to get them, total cost and the whole setup. Thanks.

The type of battery you'll need is the 12v DC type (this could be lithium ion or lead acid) and a step up transformer to level up the power supply. The price for these two should be around 7k max
The other components are the ICs, transistor, resistor and capacitor plus the veroboard. You can get all for around 5k
Total = 12k.
Excluding enclosure and the tools & materials such as your multimeter, soldering iron and lead, tester... If you would get these ones, the total you may be spending should go around 12k in addition to the above amounts (7k & 5k) which sums up to an estimate of 25k.

But in case you don't want to stress, you can get a ready made one. Of which you basically just need a 500w inverter, 12v battery and a charger for your battery. You just connect them and plug your appliance particularly your laptop. The cost for these is the same as the 25k estimate (which is actually 12k if you have your tools & materials available). But... price will always vary because of manufacturing cost and inverter type/rating.

Laptop power banks are quite costly & it's not something you'll find in the market like you would find inverters. The other day, I visited one of my engineering bosses. And wow... that laptop powerbank I saw him with was really heavy duty. I thought it was what he bought and I asked where he got it from and said it was one friend who built it. I told him it looked industry standard. He even told me the price he got it for. Very expensive and mind-blowing. But the battery alone was 30-something thousand he built it with.

You won't easily find pocket-friendly power supplies but you can research something pocket-friendly. I've been just here to help you out for this reason. Just do your research. Efficiency though is key.

Re: Affordable Laptop Power Bank For Programmers by Nobody: 8:09pm On Jul 23, 2022
I wonder why anyone will advise u to make one yourself when that isn't your field.


You could end up damaging your laptop and putting yourself at risk.


Just search message this guy on WhatsApp

+234 70Three 038 736Five


Change Three to 3 and Five to 5


I got mine from him you can also check the number online he's reliable


Mine last up to 8-12 hours on heavy usage
