The only limitation being that the current should remain below the mfr's max charge rate. That is usually C/2 or C/3. Since the objective here isn't to fully charge the battery but merely to put back enough charge to let the machine boot, there is no need for any sort of battery management. FWIW, I've tried to intentionally flambe' a LiIon battery. Connecting directly to line current and to massive power supplies doesn't work because there is an internal fuse that blows. The best I've been able to do is by sneaking up on the fuse's rating, I have been able to make a battery vent and quit working. No explosions and no flames. Darn!
