I used my EeePC 1000H a lot, and had to replace the battery after about 12 months. It was expensive. So now I usually run it with the battery removed, especially if mains is available. I have my car's cigarette lighter socket wired to be permanently on, although some inverters might drop out when the car's started motor is engaged. I agree with Ross about it being better not to have mains voltages operating in the passenger compartment. I also note that the seller of his eBay-referenced car adaptor has a 12v output version available for the 1000H. I'll be getting one to try.
