External battery pack not working with laptop. I have an HP ProBook 4540s that has a very weak battery from years of use and abuse. I bought an external battery pack, a Poweradd 32000mAh with the intention of using it with my laptop. The battery works just fine when I use it to power a Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190. The voltage required by the Lenovo IdeaCentre is 19V, and my HP ProBook requires 19.5V.
