try before. it has not enough wattage to support regular notebooks.

try to get those car adapters from the notebook suppliers.

ok ok... Thanks. I have not used it personally before. Appreciate your views.

get a 1000w inverter. that should solve your problem.

Cigarette lighter socket has a safe output of 10amp x12 volt = 120watt. If you are thinking of higher wattage you need to connect the inverter directly to the battery.

I bought from sim lim tower those 12 volts power supply for notebook (no need for convert to AC). think less than $50, can't recall the exact price. It has mutliple heads and volatge selector for various types of notebook.

 

 

This looks like the one I bought from sim lim.

ya, should connect direct to battery via a properly rated fuse. Those inverters don't come with cigarette connector, they come with those ring type terminal lugs meant for us to connect direct to battery.

Here is one super slim unit that comes with cigarette lighter male plug.

For connecting direct to battery most of them come equipped with lead acid battery crocodile clips.

Thanks guys for your replies.

 

My laptop charger says "Input: 100V-240V 0.8A-0.5A 50-60Hz, Output: 16V =2.2A", can the above devices be used? Also found this cheap on epay: http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Universal-Car-Lapto...=item35a86ee21a, can this be used?

yeobh's device converts 12VDC to ~240VAC, ~240VAC is what you have in your home all socket. So you just plug your 3pin plug into the device and use as per normal.

Thats right. The unit can take both 220volt 1ph 50hz three pin and two pin plug.
