Can increasing the voltage to your laptop break it?

Best Answer

There are voltage regulators built into the laptop for the various buss voltages needed for the system. However those regulators have a maximum input voltage rating that once exceeded will blow out the regulator IC.

As long as the voltage input does not exceed the built in regulators or overtax the ability of the laptop to cool the system and regulator IC's to normal operating temperature ranges, you will be safe. Thermal protection circuits may or may not save the system however if thermal limits are exceeded.

Can i use 14 voltage batterie on my laptop instead of 11.1 voltage?

In general, No. You should use the battery voltage that is designed for the laptop. Using a different voltage will result in a degradation of performance, and it could damage the power supply circuitry in the laptop. If, however, the manufacturer certifies 14V batteries in your 11.1V laptop, then go ahead, but do so only if certified, otherwise you risk damaging your laptop out of warranty.
