RedRocket1647545505 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Seeing as how this new laptop I bought, has a shitty battery in it (1.5hour), I was looking to buy a good power inverter to run it in the car, for long trips and such. Anybody know of a good one that won't burn up, and has plenty of power to run the laptop and maybe 1 or 2 other things? What Wattage? Also, do Power inverters have the potential to ruin the laptop? Just want to be safe. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiG BeN Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 i ran my laptop for 2 years on a 350watt inverter. thats plenty of juice for the laptop and a couple other things. i tried running it off a little 70watt one, but that failed.just not enough power. and my battery was fine after running on the inverter.

BiG BeN Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 maybe i had a bad one, i doubt it though. it would charge off the 70watt if it was in hibernation, but with the screen on it just kicked the overload on the inverter on and off. this too was with a toshiba satellite.
