Notebook dock and connector - for battery?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!

I got notebook without battery and found large dock with connector in attachment.
I think it is for battery. But Ineed to be sure, so please only reply if is it really for battery.
If yes, I have chance to use in dock 3,5" HDD.

Without the model of your notebook, we won't get too far. Could you please provide the model and manufacturer of your device? This looks like any standard battery slot, usually a dock slot would have way more pins. Just stick to providing the Model and Manufacturer.

Have a good day!

That connector is in fact commonly used as a laptop battery blade connection. The battery will have female slots that these blades insert into. I'd advise just getting a replacement battery for whatever model it is that you have. Most batteries are inexpensive to replace. Additionally many laptops can be run direct from their power supplies if your trying to avoid spending money. Only drawback to running direct from power supply is that if power cuts out the laptop will crash as well as it would need to be plugged in to work without a battery.

Thank you all.
It is what I meant.

I'm not using notebook in travel, it's used only in home and I bought it without battery, so always is connected to power adapter.

And your answer solves what I wanted - it's enough place for 3,5" HDD.

Thank you for all, we can close this thread.
