Re: Power Inverters

[Andrew Kershaw]

Note that most of these will put out 110V, not 120V.  For PowerBooks, 
that's not generally a problem as the PowerBook AC adapter is 
tolerant of 110V to 130V (or so).  My portable CD player's AC adapter 
is not so tolerant...  After an hour or two of being plugged in, the 
CD player overheated (I don't know exactly how, but it seems like the 
CD player was being fed too much power and the thing got REALLY hot 
where the power cord plugs in to the device).

Mine's a Vector brand inverter, but I don't remember the exact 
wattage.  More than 75W, I think.

All things being equal, I'd go for a dedicated DC auto/air adapter 
instead of a DC-AC inverter -> AC adapter.  Given the prices of some 
of the PowerBook auto/air adapters, though, things are hardly ever 
equal...

Peace,
Drew
