But that's a DC to AC to DC conversion and going to lose a lot in the conversions. Generate quite a bit of heat too.
Best thing would be to find a PSU that can feed off 12V DC. I did that way back in 1998 when I put a computer in my car to play MP3s. Wasn't all that expensive, just a bit hard to find. Not sure if the same thing exists for laptops. ---- Brian On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 12:53 PM, Gary VanderMolen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Unless he can regulate that DC to the exact voltage (18.5-19.5) required > by the laptop, it would be safer to get an inverter and use that to feed > the AC adapter that came with the laptop. > > Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Thane Sherrington" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I have a person who is off-grid and wants to run his laptop off the DC >> power he produces.
