Note how overall system is fairly simple. It's essentially a pass-through for the AC-to-DC converter, and an automatic charger for the battery. Moreover, the __input voltage__ from the AC-DC converter just has to be __higher__ than the __battery voltage__, but it does NOT have to match the voltage required by the laptop. As a consequence, the we can use a ~12v converter up to a ~20v converter with this design. It's input voltage is very flexible.

As the images show above, the completed diagram shows how the assembled UPS is fairly compact and functional. It can be completely turned off by unplugging the AC-DC power supply and disconecting the battery from the rest of the circuit (via the power switch). Moreover, by addings a handle to the device it can be easily moved around.
