Question:

Can LCD monitor run on sleek laptop batteries?

I want to run normal 17 LCD monitor on laptop batteries can it be possible if yes how many laptop batteries will be used.

Answer:

Yes it is possible, but you are going to have to either get an inverter to convert the battery voltage to 120 V AC (assuming that is your mains supply) Or you are going to have to adapt the monitor power supply to work of the 11 V (assuming the batter is 3 cell) of the battery. Neither of these should be undertaken lightly. How big a battery you need depends on the power consumption - I would expect something around the 50 W mark, but there could be quite a bit of variation between designs, and how long you want to run the display for. 50 W for 6 hours 300 Wh battery. that is probably about 6 standard laptop batteries.
