It's worth stressing on this point, since I've the suspicion that there
is a misunderstanding on your part, Daniel: the charge controller isn't
that external brick: that is probably just a more or less dumb power
source. The charge controller is buried somewhere in your laptop (as
Joe puts it, on the laptop's motherboard).
