Timothy -
Any suggestions on what specs to look for? I saw several today at a
computer store and the wattage capacity varied considerably.
For the record, I have no plans to power anything the size of a TV, only
to charge up my iPod and G3 iBook.
E.g., found this at the Belkins site:
The unit simply plugs into any standard, 12-volt DC vehicle cigarette
lighter socket to convert your vehicle's battery power to 110-volt AC
(common household current). Now you can keep laptop computers, PDAs, and AC
appliances powered and operational wherever you go.
Powers portable devices using a 300-Watt power inverter
Features 2 AC Outlets
Converts DC Power to AC power from a cigarette lighter socket
Fits all standard vehicle cigarette lighter sockets
Works well for laptops, portable printers, TV/VCRs, CD players, video
cameras, camping equipment, and other portable devices
Automatic overheat shut-off at 150F
Low-battery alarm at 10.6V and automatic shut-off feature at 10.6V
Overload protection
Replaceable fuse included
Power LED indicator
1-Year Warranty
UPC: 7-22868-36532-8
TIA,
bob
