    I have a Clevo M570ru, but I dont have my PSU with me. Is it possible to charge it with another power supply (with less power) for some time to be able to use the computer on battery for a little while? (I'm not going to use the computer while its plugged in).

    The PSU is a 15V psu, my battery says 14.4V 4400mAh.
    Theres at least a 30W difference between this PSU and my original.

    I would not do that, you could electrcally destroy your laptop. You should only charge your laptop with the power supply that came with your laptop. If one of the pins on your laptops power connector is for 5v, and the one you plug into it, has 12volts on that pin, you just destroyed your $2000+ laptop.
    Make a run bacl home and get the charger. If not, borrow a memory card and put your file on your friends computer.
