As I said in the root message, I'm planning on using the 54-watt supply
without the battery installed. The power not used in charging the battery
should make up for the 18 watt difference. If/when I reinstall the battery,
I'll go back to a 72-watt supply.

Actually, this entire discussion has been helpful, and I've learned quite a
bit about TP power supplies.
