Cheap laptop power supply as lipo charger?

Finally managed to get it work :)

2*65W power supply at 20V:
- 1 from an HP isolated charger: Able to pull up to 120W before it stops working
- 1 from Lenovo non isolated charger: Able to pull up to 80W before it stops working


When I put these 2 in series I have a 40V output I increased up to 67V to charge my A123:

It can pull 145W max, this is due to the Lenovo charger limited output.

Good set up, cheap and completely silent. 8)
